Reply #58: You must enjoy being disingenuous

[brentspeak]

because you left out the very next paragraph which would have automatically negated your bogus contention:

"Prior to December 18, 1995, and continuing to the present, NAFTA notwithstanding, freight coming into the United States by truck from Mexico has to be delivered to customers within the commercial zone of the U. S . cities along the border, as defined by the (former) Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), or else transloaded to a US trucking company within that zone. Mexican truckers have no "blanket" operating authority beyond those commercial zones."

11,000 trucks -- which can't beyond the border area. Not much of an already-existing significant cross-border freight transport system into the United States, is it?
