Yippee! I can get all the banned goodies I want on the NAFTA Express! Thank you NAFTA!

You've got to be SHI#$%@ING me American taxpayers putting up $3mil for a MEXICAN building. Are they out of their minds.

Driving trucks, another job American's won't do.

Shipments will be pre-screened in Southeast Asia, and the shipper will send advance notification to Mexican and American Customs with the corresponding ''pre-clearance'' information on the cargo. Upon arrival in Mexico, containers will pass through multiple X-ray and gamma ray screenings, allowing any containers with anomalies to quickly be removed for further inspection.

Which means that a container with enough lead can be loaded with nukes and drop shipped all the way to the interior of the USA without being checked once.

I wonder if the Chinese have bought the plans for the Tsar Bomba and what a 100MT explosion would do to KC and the surrounding area. I bet the fallout pattern would cripple us.

"City leaders voted last month to give the facility an innocuous name to hide its true identity as an arm of the Mexican government, staffed by Mexican officials."

Shouldn't this read: "corrupt" city leaders voted last month to give the facility an innocuous name to hide "their" true identity as "pawns of the Mexican government -- on the take -- and traitors to the American people."

[Marine Inspector]

It's a pipe dream that will never happen.

>>At Monterrey, Mexico, the containers will then be loaded onto Mexican non-union semi-trailer trucks that will cross the border at Laredo, Texas, to begin their journey north along the Trans-Texas Corridor, the first leg of the planned continental NAFTA Super Corridor.<<


Non-Union?! Oh, the horror. Next thing they'll want free speech and lower taxes - where will it end? /s

Actually, I tried to warn people about this (and the takeover of the US gypsy trucking industry legally by Mexicans via treaty) a couple of years ago. The Mrs. first heard about it during a Commerce Dept. conference concerning NAFTA II. (She has very good sources, being a business/technical editor.)

The bots went berserk at the inference W was selling us out.

They aren't going berserk any more. I am smug.

The author of the article Jerome Corsi was a recent guest on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, and painted a pretty bleak picture for the future of the US as a sovereign nation with clearly defined boundaries. The NAFTA Super Corridor is Bush's little "coup de grace" that will effectively dissolve the southern border with Mexico. It will be the Aztec Autobahn.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

The current plan for the NAFTA Super Corridor calls for the construction of a 12-lane highway (six lanes in each direction) along Interstate 35. The Kansas City SmartPort is designed to be the central hub in the planned NAFTA north-south superhighway cutting through the heart of the United States.

Supercargo ships, carrying goods made by cheap labor in the Far East and China, will unload in the Mexican port at Lazaro Cardenas, eliminating the need to use costly union longshoremen workers in Los Angeles or Long Beach. Rather than transporting the containers by trucks from the West Coast, using Teamster drivers, or on rail, with the assistance of railroad labor in the United Transportation Union, the containers will be loaded onto Mexican non-union railroads at Lazaro Cardenas. At Monterrey, Mexico, the containers will then be loaded onto Mexican non-union semi-trailer trucks that will cross the border at Laredo, Texas, to begin their journey north along the Trans-Texas Corridor, the first leg of the planned continental NAFTA Super Corridor.

Trans-Texas Corridor PING!

NAFTA ping

Ah, government acting the OPPOSITE of what the people want. Get them OUT of office at the first opportunity.
