That's a charade. American trucks are already equipped with satellite tracking technology so the Bush's initiative is to fund upgrading of Mexican trucks.

If the Mexicans want to drive their trucks into the U.S. under this flawed agreement let them pay to upgrade their own trucks. I'm tired of our tax dollars subsidizing the loss of American's jobs.

How much longer are we going to roll over and play dead while our own elected government continues to spend our tax money as if the well can never run dry.
