Bush signed the death warrants for untold American citizens with his pilot program.  Why?  As a teacher, I know that the average Mexican truck driver left school by 6th grade. That means he cognitively thinks like a 6th grader.  Would you allow your 6th grade child to drive a 60,000 pound, 65 foot long tractor-trailer?  How would he do at rush hour in Houston, Chicago or LA?  Would he possess good judgment in a snow storm?  Take a guess!

 

Denver experiences van loads of illegals transported through the mountains every winter in four wheelers with many crashes and subsequent deaths. Can you imagine what 60,000 pounds of tractor trailer does when it loses control on a slick highway because the driver didn’t possess the brains or common sense to slow down or shut down his rig?

 

Nonetheless, Bush invites Mexican workers into our country who work under the “mordida” known as the “bite or bribe”.  It rules in their home country.  Thus, drug cartels will enjoy easy access for their drug distribution in false floors.  People smugglers will enjoy easy transport for more illegal aliens.  Terrorists will offer a bribe to transport them to any city in the USA—along with hauling their explosives!

 

As Mexican drivers spread across the USA, they will grab loads from independent truckers by charging less per mile.  They’ll undercut our drivers, thus slamming them into unemployment lines.  Companies will make more money for their executives, while we’ll pay unemployment checks for our out-of-work truckers. 

 

After that, you’ll see black market loads proliferating.  In time, ‘mordida’ will become standard operating procedure not only at our weigh stations and ports of entry but on bills of lading and other documents.

 

As more truckers lose their jobs, you’ll see violence occur at truck stops as out-of-work truckers vandalize Mexican rigs and beat the hell out of Mexican drivers.  This won’t be pretty.

 

Our leaders prove themselves fools or idiots, or both.  When I call Bush to account for his actions, make no mistake, I would call any president or congressional representative onto the carpet for such blatant, irresponsible actions.

 

Bush connived us into the Iraq War.  Congress screwed one million Americans out of their jobs in this country by insourcing H-1B and H-2B visas from third world countries.  Congress destroyed our manufacturing base by allowing outsourced jobs to China without a veto from Bush.  This truck pilot program yields yet another form of insourcing jobs from Mexico that will supplant American jobs.
