Mexico demands permanent cross-border truck policy

WASHINGTON –

At the behest of labor unions, the Democratic Congress cancelled the
Bush demonstration program shortly after Obama took office.

Mexico then imposed retaliatory tariffs on about 100 U.S. imports,
prompting the White House to begin working on a new program allowing
Mexican trucks to haul beyond the longstanding 25-mile restriction
zone.

At last check, the Obama Administration said it was "very close" to a
plan that would resolve the trade dispute, but Mexican patience is
obviously wearing thin.

"Mexico will continue to avail itself of all legal means to achieve
full compliance by the United States under its commitments under the
(North American Free Trade Agreement)," said the Mexican Embassy in a
statement.

Maybe Mexico will get mad enough recall all it's citizens from the
US. That would teach us a lesson.
