GP, No, we're getting upset because there will be a net loss of good paying American jobs because of this deal. Mexican drivers, warehouse workers, mechanics, supporting office workers, insurance agents, or lack thereof, etc. will be replacing US workers; many of whom are union employees. The inequality of operating conditions on either side of the border will discourage US trucks from operating in Mexico making this more of a one way street than the proponents of this deal wish us to believe. There aren't as many miles to be logged on the Mexican side of the border anyway even if that weren't the case. Also, if a Mexican and a US trucking company competed on a contract, the Mexican company's labor costs are much less. Oh, and US companies will be allowed to hire Mexican drivers for Mexico-US runs.

Not entirely related but I just found this: In 2007, the House and Senate voted to end Bush's similar pilot program House roll-call vote was 411 to 3, and the Senate's was 75 to 23. President Obama set up this deal with the Mexican President in March to override Congress as if it weren't there just like with his war on Libya and overruled Congress with an executive order. Such is "democracy' in Amerika to reference another thread.
