Well corporations are owned by the american people...the stock holders. Most people in this country invest. So if the corporations are making more money, most people are making more money. I dont really see the difference between this and when we started allowing Canadian drivers do the same thing. I agree, if you are a driver and almost all your freight that you pick up is at the border, this might hurt you. Otherwise, you arent going to even notice. Just like when Canadians started doing the same thing. Distorting the facts, as always, eh? :wink: A new poll released by the groups today and conducted by the nonpartisan Lake Research Partners found that a majority of Americans (56 percent) believe the Bush administration's plan to allow Mexico-domiciled trucks to travel outside the current commercial zone and throughout the United States is dangerous. Majority agreement that this is dangerous for U.S. drivers transcends gender, age, political identification and region. Notably, self-identified independents (60 percent) are most likely to agree that the Bush proposal is dangerous, though majorities of Democrats (54 percent) and Republicans (58 percent) concur.

There inlies the problem with "random sampling".

Get YOUR facts straight. I think it would have passed, no matter who was president, we were destined to have it shoved down our throats. certainly, the buffoon who is president now would have signed it since it was his daddys idea and he loves illegals..
