Transportistas de Nuevo Laredo pide al DOT de Estados Unidos frenar las presiones hacia los transfers por no saber hablar inglés

NUEVO LAREDO.- Transportistas de Nuevo Laredo pide al DOT de Estados Unidos frenar las presiones hacia los transfers por no saber hablar inglés, porque advierten que podrían suspender las operaciones.

“Nos habían dicho que ya no iban a insistir en los warnings(advertencias), que era por un tiempo. Sin embargo, siguen presionando a los transfers(chóferes de camiones) y nos parece mal.

Si siguen así pues entonces a ver quién les cruza la mercancía”, expresó el transportista Gerardo Madrazo O. quien forma parte del Comité Binacional en Comercio Exterior Blue Ribbon.

In translation; Border shuttle drivers are asking Texas DPS to quite handing out tickets and warning for not being able to speak English, and I happen to agree with them.

With a population along the border that is 90% hispanic, business is done in Spanish, and there is no reason in the world to be enforcing this on cross border shuttle trucks, other than harassment and discrimination. Especially since the majority, if not all of the Texas DPS officers assigned to the border region are bi-lingual.

However, Mexico Trucker fully supports enforcement efforts of the English language provision on truckers beyond the commercial zones without exception.
