President Barack Obama is considering a mix of more than six Supreme Court candidates that is top-heavy with women and Hispanics, a group that features three judges, a governor, his homeland security secretary and his solicitor general. Among those under consideration are California Supreme Court Justice Carlos Moreno, Solicitor General Elena Kagan, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and U.S. Appeals Court judges Sonia Sotomayor and Diane Pamela Wood. Sources familiar with Obama’s deliberations confirmed the names to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no candidates have been publicly revealed by the White House.

President Obama nixes ineffective border fence

President Obama’s budget blueprint Thursday shelved extension of the controversial border fence beyond the 670 miles already completed or planned — rejecting the much-heralded security approach orchestrated by former President George W. Bush. The Obama administration’s turnabout left funds for roads, lights and so-called tactical infrastructure — but not a dime to extend the pedestrian fencing and vehicle barriers erected along roughly a third of the nation’s 1,947-mile border with Mexico. The top financial officer at the Department of Homeland Security, Peggy Sherry, and her team told reporters Thursday that the Obama administration would not extend a barrier network that ….Read More

With the announcement of the new commenting period on a proposed new Cross Border program with Mexico to allow us to fulfill our legal and ethical obligations, the first comment posted by Dr. Jim Giermanski, Chairman of Powers Global Holdings Inc. is perhaps most relevant. Hopefully, those that follow will be as well thought out and relevant as Dr. Giermanski’s. Mexican Motor Carriers Right to Entry into the United States While all the arguments for keeping out Mexican carriers have been shown in the NAFTA Dispute Panel Decision, and the courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, to lack substance and ….Read More

Jay Severin, the fiery right wing racist talk show host on Boston’s WTKK-FM radio station, was FIRED after calling Mexican immigrants “criminaliens,” “primitives,” “leeches,” and exporters of “women with mustaches and VD,” among other incendiary comments. Heidi Raphael, a spokeswoman for the station, said Severin had been suspended indefinitely from his afternoon drive-time show. She declined to say which of his comments – made since an outbreak of swine flu was linked to Mexico in recent days – sparked the suspension. “I can assure you that the station has not been using the remarks for which he has been suspended ….Read More

Well people, everything was rational and moving along nicely, even with the lies of James Hoffa and Todd Spencer clouding the issue, but they had to pay back the unions and stop the cross border program. As we know, tariff’s was immediately instituted, American trucks ejected from the country of Mexico and a minor trade skirmish began. This time though, Mexico is not going to sit back and be America’s lackey, taking whatever crumb the politicians throw to them in appeasement. Today it was learned that Mexican President Felipe Calderon will urge President Barack Obama at a meeting this week ….Read More

USA Today – Mexican truck ban hurts U.S. exporters, consumers

Apr 012009

Another undeniable truth by USA Today editorial staff. There’s an old maxim that if all the world’s economists were laid end-to-end, they would still not reach a conclusion. Yet if there’s one thing economists agree on, it’s that high tariffs and protectionist policies made the Great Depression far worse. That’s why it’s particularly troubling, at this precarious economic moment, that the U.S. and Mexico are engaged in an entirely avoidable trade war. The spark is whether Mexican long-haul truckers can deliver goods inside the USA, something the North American Free Trade Agreement promised they could do in border states by ….Read More

[BREAKING] Efforts underway to reinstate Mexican Cross Border Program

Kenneth Mead, a former inspector general who reviewed the pilot program, said the Mexican trucks that participated in it received scrutiny well beyond what the average U.S. trucker faces. “If you applied the same standards to U.S. trucks, you’d probably enhance safety,”
