Opponents of Cross Border Trucking turn to recognized "hate groups" for support.

“We’re as close as you can be,” Mexican Economy Minister Bruno Ferrari  said yesterday, confirming that  his country is preparing to sign the formal Cross Border Trucking agreement to end the trucking dispute with the U.S. as early as this month, setting the stage for the country to remove the punitive tariffs that have cost 25,000 or more US jobs and market share.

U.S. business groups are growing increasingly frustrated with President Barack Obama’s failure to resolve a cross-border trucking dispute with Mexico they say has threatened thousands of American jobs. “We’ve got companies that are really concerned,” said Frank Vargo, vice president for international economic affairs at the National Association of Manufacturers. “Our calculation is that we’ve got 15,000 jobs at risk and the longer this goes on, the more likely it is that Mexican buyers are shifting suppliers,” Vargo said.
