Why shouldn't they be allowed to use US roads? I mean, Spanish is already an official language here, pesos are used in many cities, we eat their food, we buy their cars.

Welcome to the United States of Ameri-Mexico.

US truckers pay a heavy DMV tax for road use each year... much more than non commercial drivers. Heavy trucks are hard on roads. Will the Mexican truck drivers pay this fee?

The government says it has imposed rigorous safety protocols in the program..

Wow, drug and alcohol tests That's not even the tip of the iceberg and the article doesn't say much else...Will they have to meet the US standards for safety, insurance, equipment, hours of service etc? I hope someone thought this out.

This is the price you pay for NAFTA. If you don't like it, you should have voted for Ross Perot.

Well the decision's been made. That's the end of that.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate voted on Tuesday to block funding for a Bush administration test program to let Mexican long-haul trucks operate in the United States under 1994's North American Free Trade Agreement.
