I never realized my blog would attract such attention.<BR/><BR/>I’d be very curious how a fellow professor Walter Williams at GMU would have to say on the subject.<BR/><BR/>I continue to learn from respected scholars in academia, but at the same time I must weigh theories and idealism against pragmatism and the real world I live in.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the day<BR/><BR/>W J Andy AndrewsW J Andy Andrewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15022707972146288662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324335392409949109.post-75835075107027190622007-03-20T01:23:00.000-05:002007-03-20T01:23:00.000-05:00The comment that shows "w j andy andrews said" was submitted by Professor Russell Roberts.

In general, Mexican trucks will police themselves. If they do a bad job getting safely from A to B, they're going to lose business. Most people don't want to crash their trucks. They want to get their safely. That self-interest will go a lot further than random and occasional inspections.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing,<BR/><BR/>Russ<BR/><BR/>On Mar 13, 2007, at 12:45 AM, W J Andy Andrews wrote:<BR/><BR/>Anyone who thinks that Mexican Trucks and drivers will be subect to strict controls and inspections believes that our border agents keep out illegal aliens.<BR/><BR/>Russell Roberts<BR/>Professor of Economics<BR/>J.
