How Keeping Mexican Trucks Out Hurts The US

See Don't expect trucks from Mexico soon by David Hendricks, San Antonio Express-News, 3-5-11. Excerpts:

"U.S. consumers are losing money every day from the absence of cross-border trucking. The U.S. Chamber estimates unnecessary unloading, reloading and warehousing at the U.S.-Mexico border adds $400 million a year to the price of Mexican imports, a cost passed on to consumers.

Even if Mexico's tariffs went to zero today, the damage from the past two years will be felt for a long time. The Mexican marketplace has replaced U.S. suppliers with non-U.S. sources."
