Mr. President - What in the hell are you thinking???
[ Commentary ] — I realize the Bureaucrats don’t come in contact with Illegals; so why would you do something like this which, IMO is just downright blatantly ignorant and stupid?
What you over-paid fat a$$es in Congress don’t realize is — this will cause major traffic bottlenecks at the border; Border Patrol Agents will be more stressed at the amount of traffic and end up rushing thru their vehicle checks.
This will eventually lead to more Illegals, Drugs and TERRORISTS coming into America!
What part of that SIMPLE EQUATION don’t you Morons understand??? 
Five groups sued today in federal court to block a Bush Administration plan to allow Mexico-domiciled trucks to roam the country’s highways as soon as Saturday.
The suit, filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco, maintains that the Bush administration’s pilot program, which authorizes up to 100 carriers based in Mexico to perform long-haul operations within the U.S., violates several key congressional requirements.
The groups filing suit include Public Citizen; the International Brotherhood of Teamsters; Sierra Club; Environmental Law Foundation; and the Brotherhood of Teamsters, Auto and Truck Drivers, Local 70. They filed an emergency motion asking the court to delay the pilot program before it goes into effect in a matter of days.
Mexico-domiciled motor carriers currently are permitted to operate in the U.S. only in specified commercial zones along the southern borders of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
The Bush administration has for years been pushing to give Mexico-domiciled carriers access to all U.S. highways despite safety and environmental concerns expressed by public interest groups, unions representing truck drivers and lawmakers.
“The administration has thumbed its nose at Congress by its clear failure to comply with lawmakers’ requirements,” said Public Citizen attorney Bonnie Robin-Vergeer. “There is no harm in delaying the program for a short time to make sure it is done right.”
