Senate Halts Mexican Trucking

In response to apparent overwhelming opposition from Americans, the Senate has voted to de-fund the effort to allow Mexican trucking companies unrestricted access to U.S. highways. This program was a part of the NAFTA treaty signed back in the 90's, so as I understand it, the only way to permanently stop this program from moving forward is to revisit the entire treaty. But, the Senate heard the American people, and put a stop to this potentially disastrous program by easily passing an amendment to eliminate funds earmarked for the program.

The speculation is that some are so interested in globalism that they're willing to harm America's interests, and this was one step in that direction - enhancing the porous borders between Mexico, the U.S., and Canada.

Some welcome news from the Senate for a change! If you have a minute, you might write or call them to thank them for standing up for American interests!

There's my two cents.
