MONDAY, JULY 30, 2001 Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colo.) was one Republican who broke with party lines last week to kill a proposal to allow Mexican trucks to travel freely on US highways. President Bush and other GOP members are pushing to allow the trucks on US highways as a means of expanding free trade. But Democrats, and Campbell, want the trucks to adhere to tough inspection procedures at the border. In response, the GOP says the rules are anti-Mexican and anti-Hispanic. The standards are part of a Democrat-sponsored amendment. Campbell has previously questioned why the US wants to allow Mexican trucks to travel on national highways when Native Americans suffer from such high unemployment rates. Get the Story:
