Boozman Condemns Mexican Trucks Rolling on American Roads Calls trucks a “serious” threat to American jobs and security
Washington, Sep 7 - U.S. Representative John Boozman (R-AR) today condemned the beginning of a pilot program allowing up to 1,000 Mexican trucks access to the whole American roadway system, decrying the move as a “serious threat to American jobs and security.”“There has been no guarantee made that the proper safeguards are in place to require Mexican motor carriers to comply with our immigration standard and laws,” Boozman said. “I have grave concerns this program will give Mexican truckers unfettered access to the interior of the United States without any way to verify their identities, immigration status, or even their length of stay in our country.

From Sharon:
As I started to get on I 430 headed South the traffic was already slowing down and backing up.
When I got to the new Shack Crossing I saw the problem. A convoy of five Mexicans pulled over to the right side each towing another car with no warning signs.
On the left side of the road, in the median, I saw two SUV/pickups and one car with no tires, wheels bent where they had gone off and torn down those metal pole/chains barriers. No emergency vehicles had arrived.
If I was speculating on what happened I would say that the convoy of towed vehicles couldn't make the curve and forced the SUV/Pickup/car into the retaining barrier.
How much is that going to cost to fix?,What will the Mexican trucks do . . .
This appeared to have happened last night. Just in time for Arkansas trucking officials to support trucks from Mexico going through Arkansas:
