Actually, we are seeing some of it already. Here in Houston, truckers are required to balance their loads, cannot drive more than 11 hours in a day, and must have safe brakes, are not allowed to have bald tires, and have mountains of paperwork they must complete. Not so with Mexican truckers, who are allowed to break all of our laws because of an executive order, which was not even signed. We have to obey the laws of Mexico when in Mexico, but Mexicans are allowed to disregard our laws, and law enforcement is powerless to stop them? WTF????

The result? A lot of accidents, which have included some pretty horrendous fatalities. Once such accident, not long ago, involved a Mexican truck which has a bald tire that blew out, causing an accident that killed 4 people. Not even a ticket for the Mexican who drove that truck. If he were American, he would be up on charges of negligent homicide.

Read the article, and if you are not outraged, then you are not an American.

Out rage doesn't even begin to describe the sensation I feel towards this sell out of the citizenship my family fought hard to get. Makes you want to renounce your citizenship.
You forgot to add though dan that those same truckers aside from the legal requirement must pay income taxes as well as their own insurances. The Mexicans just need to run into the ER room then back down the border.

Huh? How did a law against bad brakes and bald tires result in a Mexican truck driver getting into an accident? You're not making any sense. For one, a law against bad brakes and bald tires doesn't result in accidents deriving from bad brakes and bald tires, and throwing in Mexican illegal immigration is a complete non sequitur.
