By Doug Cunningham

The Teamsters are rallying today at the Mexican border in San Diego to protest the Bush program to bring Mexican trucks onto U.S. highways. Teamsters President, Jim Hoffa will lead the rally at the Otay Mesa border crossing. The union says that Bush pilot program to bring the Mexican into the U.S. is illegal. The Teamsters are fighting the Mexican truck program in court and are urging Congress to completely cut off money for the Mexican truck program. The Teamsters say the Mexican trucks are unsafe and there are no reliable methods to screen and track the records of the drivers.
