…As Mexican Trucks Continue to Roll Across Border
In an interview with World Net Daily, James P. Hoffa, general president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, said he is convinced that, “The Bush administration has a master plan to erase all borders and to have a super-government in North America.”
Hoffa argued that the Bush administration insistence on allowing Mexican trucks into the US is “symptomatic of a larger plan advanced by multi-national corporations to crate a European Union-style regional ‘super government’ in North America.”
The Mexican trucks continue to cross the border and travel across the United States despite a vote of 411 – 3 in the US House in May and a 74 – 24 vote in the Senate last week to stop it.
Spokesmen for the Bush administration said the trucks will continue to cross into the US because the legislation passed by Congress has not been signed into law, and furthermore President Bush has apparently pledged to veto it should it reach his desk.
Meanwhile, The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, that is conducting the demonstration border crossing project for the administration, announced that the first US trucks crossed into Mexico, Friday, less than a week before the first Mexican trucks crossed into the US as part of the demonstration project.
A spokeswoman for the FMCSA said she expects to see even more Mexican trucks crossing the border in the next few days. She said she is hopeful that a compromise can be worked out with congressional conferees to help “ensure the safety of American highways while meeting the obligations of NAFTA.”
“We’ve got to stop this now,” Hoffa told World Net Daily. “I recently made a trip to China. Unless we stop this with legislation, and tariffs and duties on foreign goods, you are not going to have any jobs in this country except flipping hamburgers…. The problem is an agenda of these globalists and these free traders to ship every good job out of America. Any good job that pays good money, they can find somebody else to do it in India or China or in Hong Kong or wherever. We’ve got to say enough is enough.”
Hoffa talked about the erosion of our national security due to open borders and sourcing out technology for modern aircraft, etc. “We just allow them to take our ideas,” he concluded. “American technology and manufacturing and American know-how are being outsourced all over the world because foreigners will do it cheaper.”
Hoffa said President Bush won’t openly speak about the Security and Prosperity Partnership, “because he doesn’t want anybody to know anything about it. If the American people knew openly about the plan to build superhighway toll roads with foreign money or the plan to create a North American common market and regional government, we would rally to stop it.”
