Mexican Trucks: Hoffa: Public opposes 'illegal, unsafe' Mexico truck program... Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa says the U.S. DOT should listen to the American public and not open the border to Mexican trucks because of concerns about job loss, border security, highway safety and the legality of the program itself.
Teamsters and other Americans submitted more than a thousand comments OPPOSING the DOT plan to open the border during the 30-day comment period in the Federal Register, which ended Friday. The Teamsters for two years have urged the administration to bring a challenge against Mexico for imposing excessive tariffs on U.S. goods instead of agreeing to open the border to unsafe trucks.
