From our friends at Yucatan Living was pleased to see that the NAFTA treaties, related to trucking, will continue to be honored by the United States. Unfortunately, there is still a steady stream of opposition coming from the Teamsters in the U.S., where the people are being told that Mexican trucks are unsafe and that Mexican drivers will cause accidents because they cannot read road signs. Neither of those claims are true, as we all well know. It is interesting to note that those same “leaders” do not object to American truckers rolling into Mexico. We will not get into ….Read More

Editors Note: And they call Mexico an underdeveloped third world country? It appears they are implementing the technology we should be using to secure our borders while still allowing the free flow of people and commerce across the borders! Something to think about! Mexico plans to use cards with electronic chips to better track the movements of Central Americans who regularly cross the southern border to work or visit. Starting in March, the National Immigration Institute will distribute the cards to record the arrival and departure of so-called temporary workers and visitors. They will replace a non-electronic pass formerly given ….Read More

After a lull in the campaign of misinformation being thrown about by OOIDA and it’s leadership <sic>, suddenly more “facts” emerge in their efforts to derail the Cross Border Truck Program. I say “facts”, because what they are reporting could not be further from the truth. World Net Daily, scraping a piece from the in-house rag of OOIDA, Landline Now, reports in it’s headline, Hundreds of safety violations documented for Mexican rigs This is a patently false statement!

MEXICO CITY – The long Mexican business lunch, a tequila-fueled food orgy that could last past sundown, is on the demise in the capital as a new generation of clean-living executives cuts back on costs and time wasting.In an old habit as Mexican as mariachi, offices would empty for entire afternoons as employees packed into restaurants for hours-long feasts crucial for cementing business relations, even if they might leave people too drunk to sign deals.

MEXICO CITY — With the government finding it difficult to guard much of the country’s petroleum pipeline network, preventing further attacks on it depends upon a national security apparatus that analysts warn may not be up to the task. Once a brutally efficient weapon of the one-party regime that ruled for most of the 20th century, Mexico’s domestic intelligence service has been weakened over the past decade by budget cuts, personnel purges and the shifting priorities of a more democratic society, the analysts say. Some of the more experienced spymasters have been cashiered or farmed out to state and federal ….Read More

Mexico’s President Vicente Fox is having a tough year. During the much-publicized Minuteman Project in Arizona last March, Fox’s arrogant comments and dismissive attitude didn’t win him too many fans north of the border. Then in May, while making yet another speech about how America couldn’t function without illegal immigrants from Mexico, Fox managed to insult African Americans in the process. He claimed that illegals do the work that “not even black people want to do,” implying that African Americans make up the lowest rungs of society. About a month later came the unveiling of Mexico’s latest series of postage ….Read More
