Mexican Truckers and Abrreviated National Security

Ok here's an article favoring allowing Mexican truckers access to our highways.

http://www.thehotjoints.com/2007/09/...d-into-the-us/

from the article:
“They will inspect every Mexican truck every time it goes across the border, which is more than they do for American trucks,” said the spokesman, Clayton Boyce.

“The problem on the interstates is too many trucks,” said Robert Harrison, deputy director of the center, “not too many Mexican trucks. As long as the inspections are adequate and in force, we have little to fear.”


This is the same position the Bush administration takes.


NOW HERE IS THE REALITY!!!!!

from the article:
An Aug. 16 memorandum from CBP El Paso field office Director Luis Garcia directs agents to limit inspections of vehicle and pedestrian border crossers as wait times escalate. The document, obtained by The Washington Times, sets new guidelines that border inspectors say undermine efforts to prevent terrorists and other criminals from entering the United States.

The memo says:

• If wait time is 45 minutes or less, officers are required to query all drivers and passengers older than 18 and ensure that the license plate is correct.

• If wait time is 45 to 60 minutes, customs officers are to query only the driver and 50 percent of the passengers. Also, the officers are not to conduct compartment checks and density-meter readings used to find contraband.

• If wait time is 60 to 120 minutes or more — the average wait at the numerous crossings — they are to query only the driver and ensure that the license plate is correct.

"At 30 to 40 minutes of 'wait time,' we were querying the driver only at the request of our supervisors," said an El Paso customs agent, who spoke with The Washington Times this month on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.

"Basically, we were only running the documents of the driver every fifth vehicle, so everyone else was coming in without being checked to the same standards. Even if you stick with the letter of this memo, it still falls short for national security purposes."
