And so presumably their trucks up are to par. :sarcasm:

Their economy is good enough that massive numbers of Canadians don't migrate here (in fact, they may see a need to control their Southern border soon).

They are not subject to the prejudice that their safety standards are too low, or to the prejudice that they will violate them (it is my understanding these Mexican trucks are subject to our standards if they come in anyway).

It is the idea that economic activity should take place only within a country's borders, an idea that even medieval people were too advanced for.

It is the idea that every foreigner's presence in the US somehow hurts some US citizen economically, and just in case I want that trucking job, it should remain empty (and whoever would benefit from it, including US citizens, is just too abstract a person and doesn't count.)
