MEXICANS NEED NOT APPLY :

Group sues to prevent Mexican trucks from entering U.S. (JESSICA BRICE, Associated Press, May 1, 2002)

A coalition of environmental, consumer and labor organizations filed suit Wednesday seeking to stop the federal government from allowing Mexican trucks to operate in the United States. [...]

The plaintiffs are Public Citizen, the Environmental Law Foundation, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO and the California Trucking Association.

Imagine for a moment the squeals of indignation and the charges of racism that would have greeted a similar lawsuit if filed by conservative groups. Posted by Orrin Judd at May 2, 2002 7:40 AM
