go and read the actual accord

I know what side provisions Kerry is talking about, the same provisions that were never enforced

The best known one is to allow Mexican truckers to drive on American roads after the fleet was to be replaced and meet safety standards...

This was never done.

What other side provisions were there?

Let me count them from memory

Creation of the equivalent of the EPA, with funding and personnel to ENFORCE environmental laws, never done. Well the agency was created but it lacks funding or even close to adequate personnel, last time I checked they had something like 300 inspectors for the whole country.

Creation of a Federal equivalent to OSHA, to enforce labor safety laws, you know things like masks at factories.. never done...

I could go on.

When Kerry says there were side provisions, there weere...so before you say this is old Kerry rethoric go and read the damn accord and the side accords... the side provisions are the ones that were not implemented and the ones that would have made things better ... since they included a significant pro rated pay raise that was to take oh ten years.
