REFILE-US to announce Mexico trucking plan soon-LaHood
(Refiled to fix spelling in LaHood's name)
WASHINGTON May 6 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's adminstration will soon announce its plan to reopen the U.S. border to Mexican trucks and end a dispute that prompted Mexico to slap duties last year on $2.4 billion worth of U.S. goods, a top U.S. official said on Thursday.
"President Obama's team has worked very hard to put a proposal together. We will be announcing it very soon," U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood told lawmakers.

The U.S. could have slapped back at Mexico by sending home millions of their tax mooching citizens. Obama has made it clear that America’s best interests come in last in his “world presidency”.

Thanks a lot, Mr. President, for nothing. Everything you do, everything, is to undermine the Idea of America, and we all see it. We will be voting soon, and you can go back to community organizing.

This administration just loves to rub salt in every fresh wound. Obviously the “rights” of Mexicans are more important to this man-child president than the rights of Americans; we are second-class citizens in our own country to people who are here illegally.
