Teamster Leadership Stages Phony Protest In San Diego And Passes Out Fliers To Organize Mexicans

This is a Minuteman report from today. I received this in an email and I’ve decided to withhold the Minuteman’s name since some people like to remain anonymous.

I got up early, and showed up at the Otay Mesa truck inspection station on Enrico Fermi Rd. I saw fellow Minuteman Ken there, and he was the only other person with an American flag, besides me.

Wondering what WE THE PEOPLE could do to stop this nonsense, I was hopeful when I heard the Teamsters were finally going to do something, and hold a protest at the inspections station this morning at 6:00am. When I got there, I saw about 5 police/CHP crusiers and 30 union people carrying small signs complaining about the safety of the Mexican trucks, and giving numerous interviews to all the media (Fox11, 600AM, 8-CBS, etc.). When I started to discuss with some of the union people the fact that ALL American workers were being sold out, and that we all need to stick together (I’m an Engineer who has been affected by the H1-B Visa insourcing), they really didn’t have any comments at that point… but then, I noticed Ken down on the corner, and walked that way. Shortly thereafter, Ken noticed one of the Union Leaders distributing flyers to the Mexican Truckers, away from all the cameras - he was trying to ORGANIZE THEM! Ken was incensed! When I saw this, I became disgusted and immediately rolled up my flag, and started walking to my truck to leave… as I went by the crowd of “union picketers” at the inspection station exit, I yelled out that one of their union leaders was handing out flyers trying to organize the Mexican Truckers down the street, and they basically ignored me, or gave annoying little “we are so smart that we are pulling the wool over everybody” smiles - all except for one big fat guy that threatened to “knock me out”, and said that he “didn’t care if he went to prison”… I stood up to him, and basically told him I wasn’t interested in hanging around with traitors, and then left.

It is all too clear to me that this “protest” was simply an act by the TEAMSTER leaders to attempt to appease their members into thinking they are trying to do something (all the while trying to organize the Mexican Truckers behind the backs of the lazy media). Remember that the TEAMSTER leaders appealed last week to the 9th “Circus” court of appeals, the MOST LIBERAL in the land - because they obviously wanted to lose! These leaders are a bunch of FAKES! Also remember that the AFL-CIO leadership appealed last week (and won!) a stay of the DHS informing employers of tough new policies regarding SSNs and hiring of ILLEGAL workers. Something must be done to REALLY organize the truckers and people to stop this wholesale sellout of our country by the current administration, socialist judges, greedy big business, and sellout union leadership.

Jimmy Hoffa is a phuck head.

I am appalled by the whole situation.

This shouldn't even be an option.

This really saddens me. My Dad is a truck driver (retired military). He started driving since his retirement wasn't paying the bills. His company is already talking of slashing mileage rates for their drivers because the Texas routes will be given to Mexican drivers who have no need to hand off goods to American drivers anymore. The Mexican drivers are even allowed to do "pick and carry." Essentially taking away routes in America because they are already there and much cheaper. My Dad's company refuses to post any routes through Mexico because of lack of organization in Mexico (maps, routes, etc.) and much harder to track drivers for safety reasons (this is the big "benefit" trade-off). The company would have to invest millions of dollars for new truck and company insurance policies as well as safety courses and driver training the state requires them to do now.
When I talked to my Dad about this he told me how worried he was, but told me heard the rumor of the Teamsters down on the border protesting, he seemed somewhat reassured at this, but the article posted above disheartens me.
