You read the title right. The kooks at the EPA which needs to be defunded and eliminated are paying for emissions upgrades to Mexican trucks because the Mexicans refuse to upgrade their own trucks. This president and this administration need to leave. This really should be the Asinine item of the day post that we publish daily at 7:00 PM U.S. Central Time.

In the latest effort to accommodate its cherished trade partner in the south, the U.S. government is paying to upgrade outdated Mexican trucks that hemorrhage illegal amounts of exhaust on their trips north to deliver merchandise.

The Mexican trucks enter the U.S. under a 17-year-old international trade pact known as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and they’ve created an air pollution crisis. The air quality in border towns has been especially impacted by the exorbitant levels of exhaust released by the Mexican trucks, which also fail to meet American safety standards.

Since the Mexican truckers have no intention of fixing the problem, Uncle Sam has stepped in to save the environment. U.S. taxpayers have picked up the cost to replace old mufflers on dozens of trucks and many more are scheduled to be upgraded by the middle of this year.

Yeah. I said, “WTF” too when I read this absolute nonsense. Leave it to Obama and the tyrannical kooks at the EPA.

Gateway Pundit said it best:

This radical government agency is doing all it can to destroy US business but they’re helping Mexican truckers?… Something is terribly wrong with this administration.
