While Hoffa Junior was busy bending over for Obama, he should have been paying attention to the crossed fingers behind the President’s back.
Mexican Trucks Are On Our Roads
After years of negative votes in Congress and the opposition of the American people, on October 21 Barack Obama allowed the first Mexican truck to cross the border at Laredo, Texas and head north to deliver door-to-door service of its load of industrial equipment. This implemented an agreement quietly signed by Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood in Mexico City on July 6 with Mexico’s secretary of Communications and Transportation.
Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) calls this deal a major anti-jobs program, saying: “We’re literally taking good jobs here in America and passing them over the line to Mexico.” Todd Spencer, executive vice president of the Independent Drivers Association, a non-union trade association, said 100,000 trucking jobs will be lost.
Among other outrages.
Most of those “100K trucking jobs that will be lost” will also be unionized Teamsters jobs, Jimmy.
