August 31, 2007 Rep. Nancy Boyda (D-KS) recently issued the following statement on the government's plans to begin allowing Mexican trucks unlimited access to U.S. highways. "Congress has been crystal clear in our opposition to the administration's cross-border pilot program. Twice now, we've passed bills that restrict commercial traffic from Mexico until the Department of Transportation meets high standards of safety and accountability. "Those standards have not been met, but the executive branch is moving full speed ahead anyway. Their plan breaks the law and undermines the safety of our highways, and I hope they'll be held accountable in a court of law. "This is not a partisan issue. My Safe American Roads Act passed the House by an overwhelming, bipartisan, 411-3 margin. Democrats and Republicans are united in protecting America's highways. Only the White House seems out of the loop."
