Mexican Dynamite Truck Explodes Killing 37
Our government just gave Mexican Truckers permission to drive throughout US.

A City News article reports “A truck carrying dynamite blew up after colliding with another vehicle in Northern Mexico Saturday night, killing at least 37 people. Officials say the victims include three reporters who were on the scene covering the crash. Police say a fire broke out after the initial accident and the dynamite went off, causing a giant explosion near the town of Sacramento. A federal police official says 37 people were killed and 150 were injured. He says the blast left a crater three-by-12 metres in the concrete.”
This impressive disaster coincides with an effort to allow Mexican trucks on US highways. One recent news article notes “Over the weekend a new program sponsored by the Department of Transportation went into affect allowing selected Mexican trucks to drive all over the United States. The program is part of the NAFTA agreement and has been long delayed, though it is backed by the White House and other government agencies. They say allowing the trucks will save money, cut pollution and enhance trade and relations with Mexico. For years, thousands of Mexican owned and operated trucks have driven through U.S. checkpoints. Until now, these trucks could only drive within a 25-mile zone on the border. The zone has disappeared because of a new program that was given final approval last week. It will allow selected Mexican trucks to travel as far north as Maine.”
It’s not hard to add one plus one here. Mexican truckers drive according to Third World standards with Third World results. Once again, our traitorous politicians are doing something that could drastically affect our quality of life (and maybe even terminate our lives). US citizens will be gambling the lives of their families every time they take a drive on the freeway until this latest insanity from DC is overturned.
Complain to your Congressman here.
