News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Seeking to deflect growing criticism, the Department of Transportation made two surprise statements late yesterday, announcing modifications to its plan allowing 100 Mexican trucking companies to run their long-haul rigs throughout the U.S.

Responding to trucking industry criticism that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, was not merely conducting a test but implementing a permanent program without public comment, the FMCSA for the first time posted to the Federal Register a proposed set of "demonstration project" rules.

Also amid criticism Mexico had not opened up its own road to U.S. trucks, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters announced in a DOT statement issued late yesterday that U.S. trucks will be allowed to operate in Mexico at the start of the demonstration project.
