Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA) recently expressed concern after the
government announced plans to begin allowing Mexican trucks unlimited access to
U.S. highways. The congressman, who represents the entire California/Mexican
border, issued the following statement:
"I do not believe that President Bush has any sense for the
real impact of this policy in the border region. Mexico simply does not have
appropriate background checks for drivers, licensing requirements, or safety
inspections for trucks. I fully support the injunction filed by the Teamsters
and other concerned citizens to stop this plan!"
