You forgot to add "HELL NO", of which is the way I would have voted if it was in the Poll above.

So, I chose NO.

Now, I'm going to clear my cookies and vote NO again, and again, and again, and again............:cool:

OVM this bus was running illegal in the good old USA. That was reported on the news. Your missing the point, it went over your head like a 747. :)

What about allowing Van Nuys, CA based tour bus companies to run in the US?

This bus was running illegal in the good ol' USA, because the FMCSA denied the California company its Interstate Common Carrier application, and thus is illegal to carry passengers on that bus within any state outside the state of California. If the bus had been empty, it would have been legal (except for the safety violations it has incurred, of course).

Nope, no way. Keep them out. They are too far behind in safety etc. This will cost the US and Canada jobs, many jobs. Keep out!!

This thread really doesn't make sense. The article is about a U.S. based bus that went into Mexico, then came back to the U.S. Did you actually read the article Bruno? Los Angeles, Ca. is in the U.S.

LA is in the US? Been there lately? LOL!!! :p I am not even sure if California is in the US any longer. I mean, just look how you have to pass through their border guards to get in to that place. Man, kinda like trying to get into East Germany when it was around. :(

I hear ya! I put that fancy hydraulic suspension on my truck so I can bounce the front end up and down and fit in with the locals next time I go. I also got some HUGE pants that'll hang half way down my massive rear end.

You might have to learn to read and write in 17 different languages, strut like a rooster and hold your "private area" while walking down the street. Don't forget to wear your "black hoodie" when the sun is blazing and it is 100 degrees out. :rolleyes:

And as most of us have encountered down in the border towns doing cross docks with trucks coming up from mexico, most are not what any of us would want to spend more then a ride across the yard in...No...refuse them entry....as for the chicken under the arm.....hmmmmm.... they do make good soup....:D

There are many reasons not to allow them in.
First, IMO, I believe their standards far short of our safety requirements, but somehow they seem to skirt around those requirements and run on our highways.
Thus they create a public safety hazard on US soil and if any accidents take place on US soil it is the US taxpayer that pays the cost, in the latest case, hospital bills of illegals using our hospitals and emergency services.
Second, IMO, I believe by allowing their TRUCKS to run our highways it takes away freight from US truckers and that is unforgiveable of lawmakers to allow such an avoidable situation to take place.
Third, IMO, we have an 'OPEN DOORS' policy at our borders - weather it is by design, mistakes, stupidity, politics or whatever - it must end. Every day that we continue with our current border patrol policies we put Americans in danger. I don't care if it is the south borders, north borders, east or west - PROTECT OUR BORDERS and stop worrying so **** much about other countries borders and being politically correct on everything we say or do.
Political correctness is what screws us up everyday.

It's not up to me so I can't say no or yes.

I would like to see it happen because it may prove to the public that it may be a bad thing, they seem to want it to happen.

The other thing that may be a better thing to do is to think about making changes in our tax system to allow the companies that are in Mexico to make money here, hire people here and this will eliminate the need for Mexican trucks to be here.

Did you read it, the driver was from Mexico. The company maybe based out of Los Angeles, Ca, but the bus was from Mexico. You guys are missing the point, do you want unsafe trucks or bus's from Mexico here in the states. My one truck right behind this accident for hours.

Maybe you missed my point Bruno...they are already here it is called Greyhound...they have some old pieces of crap out there as well....It is the rules that govern from within...
