My point is, alleging somehow Mexico will hurt this country if we don't allow Mexican long-haul trucks into this country, with respect to high-fructose corn syrup, and actions they will take-- the facts are stubborn. The Mexicans are already doing that unfairly. I am a little tired of saying, ``let's blame America for something we might do.'' How about blaming Mexico for something they are doing with respect to high-fructose corn syrup that is in violation of NAFTA.
