Funny how this is a problem NOW for you two, but when BUSH and his administration made this move to allow the trucks, you were silent on the issue. I guess in your free thinking world (aka fox news report) you forgot the history of the mexican trucks entering the USA.
Let me remind you two and anyone else who dares enter this thread of the truth of the matter.
Back during the BUSH administration, republican operatives lobbied the bUSH administration for permission for mexican trucks to enter the usa carrying american company goods "duty free" across the border and to their final destinations.
The bush administration agreed but with protests from the IBT and the trucking industry, lawsuits were filed. The issue made it all the way to the supreme court, where the court ruled the mexican trucks could enter the usa even if they failed inspections.

The california 9th circuit of appeals banned the mexican trucks from our roads and the US Supreme Court reversed that decision.
Dont even try to blame OBAMA for this. This goes back to GEORGE W. BUSH.
Its funny how you place blame on San Francisco when the 9th circuit there tried to ban mexican trucks from our roads. If there ruling had stood, nobody would have been killed by a mexican trucker.
You can thank BUSH for that !
There have been many investigations into this ruling by the BUSH administration to allow mexican trucks across our borders and many of them are only now being resolved.

If you want to blame anyone for this, blame the republicans who Created, Crafted, Passed, and sent it to George H. Bush to sign and forcing NAFTA to pass in the Clinton administration.
""NAFTA was signed by President George H.W. Bush, Mexican President Salinas, and Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in 1992. It was ratified by the legislatures of the three countries in 1993. The House approved it by 234 to 200 on November 17 and the Senate by 60 to 38 on November 20. It was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on December 8, 1993 and entered force January 1, 1994. Although it was signed by President Bush, it was a priority of President Clinton's, and its passage is considered one of his first successes. (Source: History.com, NAFTA Signed into Law, December 8, 1993.""
Along party lines, republicans voted to pass democrats voted against (just in case any of you want to attempt to blame clinton)
Peace.
