Why don't we let them build it. Then close all the NORTHBOUND lanes.
"Superhighway to Deportation" we'll call it!
Cheers!
Bush Administration Quietly Plans NAFTA Super Highway
by Jerome R. Corsi
Posted Jun 12, 2006
Quietly but systematically, the Bush Administration is advancing the plan to build a huge NAFTA Super Highway, four football-fields-wide, through the heart of the U.S. along Interstate 35, from the Mexican border at Laredo, Tex., to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minn.
Once complete, the new road will allow containers from the Far East to enter the United States through the Mexican port of Lazaro Cardenas, bypassing the Longshoremans Union in the process. The Mexican trucks, without the involvement of the Teamsters Union, will drive on what will be the nations most modern highway straight into the heart of America. The Mexican trucks will cross border in FAST lanes, checked only electronically by the new SENTRI system. The first customs stop will be a Mexican customs office in Kansas City, their new Smart Port complex, a facility being built for Mexico at a cost of $3 million to the U.S. taxpayers in Kansas City.
As incredible as this plan may seem to some readers, the first Trans-Texas Corridor segment of the NAFTA Super Highway is ready to begin construction next year. Various U.S. government agencies, dozens of state agencies, and scores of private NGOs (non-governmental organizations) have been working behind the scenes to create the NAFTA Super Highway, despite the lack of comment on the plan by President Bush. The American public is largely asleep to this key piece of the coming North American Union that government planners in the new trilateral region of United States, Canada and Mexico are about to drive into reality.
Just examine the following websites to get a feel for the magnitude of NAFTA Super Highway planning that has been going on without any new congressional legislation directly authorizing the construction of the planned international corridor through the center of the country.
The details of the NAFTA Super Highway are hidden in plan view. Still, Bush has not given speeches to bring the NAFTA Super Highway plans to the full attention of the American public. Missing in the move toward creating a North American Union is the robust public debate that preceded the decision to form the European Union. All this may be for calculated political reasons on the part of the Bush Administration.
A good reason Bush does not want to secure the border with Mexico may be that the administration is trying to create express lanes for Mexican trucks to bring containers with cheap Far East goods into the heart of the U.S., all without the involvement of any U.S. union workers on the docks or in the trucks.
LOL! That's the best idea I've seen yet. : )
I screamed about the UN for years no one listened
They moved this to Conspiracy thats just funny
My Gut tells me there's something to this we aren't seeing {My gut is hardly ever wrong}!
I'll wait till someone else starts screaming now
I don't think I was one of those, but I likely was guilty of not getting "too excited" over them (but I do know I've NEVER liked them).
They moved this to Conspiracy thats just funny.
Ain't it, though?! I will be ROFLOL when it happens.
My Gut tells me there's something to this we aren't seeing {My gut is hardly ever wrong}!
Ditto, ditto, ditto!
Great ping. Thanks!
$150 million? That's about the cost of ONE bridge over a major river! Tip money on Capitol Hill!
Jocelyn Elders could get more money than that to teach the Democratic Party how to ... well, you know. And that's teaching them something they already do!
Bush Administration fingerprints all over this one, eh? John Dobson Foundation? David Somerville Chair? Fraser Institute? Simon Fraser University? Writer is past mandatory retirement?
We don't need to go to the Fraser Institute to find doddering clueless old fools -- we have them right on Capitol Hill (Murtha, Byrd, Kennedy, etc.) Endowments like this are designed to give an old guy a few bucks to enhance his golden years. Nobody actually reads this nonsense or takes it seriesly -- at least, nobody is supposed to.
Actually I'm showing disdain for the idea that $150 million in funding for a road will bring down the country. $150 million won't even pay for the road.
There's a hugh and series difference between wasting $150 million (reprehensible but unimportant compared to wate in the ten of billions elsewhere) and destroying the country. Then again, obliterating any sense of proportion is necessary to sell whack conspiracy theories, isn't it?
If you really think it's all about trade and commerce, there's a famous bridge in NYC that's for sale.
didn't they invest more in Safer Guns and Safer bullets?
LOL
$150 million for a highway from Laredo to Duluth -- that road won't be fit for Mexican trucks.
I guess that $150 million could fund more endowments for academics to devise strategeries to bring the USA to its knees!
Is that 150 million in dollars or Ameros BTW?
well I don't know...
At first we were going to the Amero in 2010, then it was 2013 and now it's 2020
I wonder if they keep moving the date back if I'll ever see it?
Well its is about trade and economic prosepects on both sides of the border. This is a simple fact. There will be no political merging of the three countries. Such an agreement would never never pass the senate. That is likely as to happen as the congress repealing univeral suffurage. Furthermore for many of Mexico's problems they do have a strong nationalistic streak. Theyu would never vote to be engulfed by the USA. Further, would Canada give up all their socialist goodies to merge? I think not.
This is a effort to lower trade barriers that will benifit us all
Interesting that he was a hero for "Unfit for Command," but is now nothing but a nutcase.
Cognitive dissonance really has a way of screwing up the logic of those who suffer from it.
Are they going to quietly build it? Will they tell us when it's finished? Or will they just quietly use it? Can anyone use it? Or do you need a CFR membership card?
If you're so sure this is the case then why was there such opposition in Europe over passing the new EU constitution a few months ago? Wasn't the concept of the European Union SUPPOSED to be just about creating better trade prospects for that region?......think just maybe some folks figured out the promises of greater free trade was just a bait and switch to create a new political entity at the expense of national sovereignty?
