[PAA-Discuss] so sad .....Re: Teamsters try to block Mexican truckers

[Houston911truth]

Let's just bring some light to the subject before you go around calling
people racist alright?

Are you aware of the truck laws that are, right now, barely enforced?  I was
literally run off the road coming out of El Paso on I-10 two years ago by an
18 wheeler that was unmarked and did not stop, the entire left side of my
car was torn open like a sardine can, window broken, and turned around in a
360 degree turn into a ditch with little to no cell phone reception.
Luckily there was a marine and his wife in the car directly behind me who
stopped to help.

It's not that we don't trust Mexican truck drivers, it's that we don't trust
our government to make sure they're not coming across the border joining the
slew of already unchecked trucks.  It will take one of them reaming into a
single mother and her child in a car outside of Austin because of faulty
breaks before anyone actually gives a damn to look into this.  Stop bringing
race into the picture.  Mexico is a third world country.  The same argument
would be brought up if Slovenia in 1991 was on the border of the US.  Are
you expecting people not to go up in arms about this?  Do you really believe
the government is going to do anything along the lines of keeping their
"word"?

Why did you take Kris' e-mail out of context?

Stop letting them play on the race card emotion, it's tired and ready to go
to sleep.
