Or whatever. There is no foot in any door here. This doesn't allow American firms to hire Mexican truckers any more than it would allow an American McDonalds to hire Mexican counter clerks. Immigration and labor laws still apply. It doesn't affect domestic shipping. It's a specific bill that affects only goods loaded on one side of the border crossing to a single destination on the other side. And while it will hurt truckers who specialize in border shipping, it will help manufacturers who will be freed up by the removal of tariffs into Mexico--that will help small businesses a lot more than multi-national corporations, too.

I'm not saying there aren't issues with it--the value of the tradeoff is debatable--just that the rhetoric and understanding of the issue in this thread is non-existent.
