This isn't about negating the unions are bypassing ports. It's about making the US, Canada and Mexico part of a big EU-style organization that eliminates the US' borders.
That's why Bush won't do anything substantive about immigration.

And the tens of billions of dollars needed to fund this will come from????
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
According to a weekly Conservative magazine published in the US, the US administration is "quietly yet systematically" planning the massive highway, citing as a benefit that it would negate the power of two unions, the Longshoremen and Teamsters. Another source claimed the highway was a "bi-partisan effort" with support from both Republicans and Democrats that would reduce freight transport times across the nation by days.
Under the plan - believed to be an extension of a strategic transportation plan signed in March last year by the US president, George Bush, Paul Martin, the then prime minister of Canada, and Vincente Fox, the Mexican president - imported goods would pass a border "road bump" in the Mexican port of Lazaro Cardenas, before being loaded on to lorries for a straight run to a major hub, or "SmartPort", in Kansas, Oklahoma.
Any idea what Conservative magazine this article is making reference to? Just curious.

I think the Headline is kinda of amusing. "American divided over Highway" sort of like in the same vein as "America divided on Iraq". Hmm I don't think so. I am sure as we see on here people have strong passions but 90 percent of Americans don't know about and probably don't really care.

According to a weekly Conservative magazine published in the US, the US administration is "quietly yet systematically" planning the massive highway, citing as a benefit that it would negate the power of two unions, the Longshoremen and Teamsters. As reprensible as some unions, notably these two, have sometimes been, they have been pretty good about ensuring dock-security.
So, the Administration is now more or less openly admitting it is AT WAR against duly-constituted, legal representation, of the U.S. labor for imports.
Sounds like WalMart et al. is behind this scam...and the Administration is in violation of its oathe of office...an office which it has apparently sold to the Import Lobby.
Smooth move, Einsteins.
Political suicide that will tie right into the Illegal Alien issue...and slide it into the populace finally recognizing that the whole of the country is being betrayed and we have a Government that is Of the Aliens, by the Aliens, and for the Aliens.

Or why we are all getting our panties in a bunch over more "un-named sources" reports? Anyone got any actual FACTS about this?

I'd love to eliminate these unions, but not at the cost of hundreds of billions of dollars.

And the tens of billions of dollars needed to fund this will come from???? Isn't gasoline currently taxed by the Federal government?

I'm assuming the magazine is Human Events, which has done at least one Jerome Corsi story about the nascent North American Union. Either that or Worldnet Daily.

If they can get on the highway in Mexico and aren't allowed to leave it until they get to Canada, I'm for it.

China's Highways Go the Distance
America's interstates brought prosperity and change. China's are doing the same. Many of those using the new roads are migrant workers who have left villages and farms for jobs in booming urban China. The government estimates at least 140 million rural Chinese have left the countryside for the bright lights of the city.
Gas stations and motels are springing up along the expressways to service the growing traffic volume. Hou's two-week trip cost him $125 a day for gas, a room and tolls. "The toll operators are the only robbers left on the roads," he says
What will happen here:
Many of those using the
new roadstrans texas corridor are migrant workers who have left villages and farms for jobs in
booming urban China USA. The government estimates at least 140 million rural
Chinese latinos have left the countryside for the bright lights of the city.

I am concerned that our Interstate Highway system, which is a military highway, will be compromised by the TTC, and built and controlled by a foreign firm.
The interstate highway system was built to move whole armys from coast to coast and border to border very quickly. The TTC will cut across that highway system, severing every major east-west Interstate.
Like the Panama canal being controlled by the Chinese-Panamanian interests, we now are giving away our infrastructure to foreign interests.

The "nation's most modern roadway", proposed between Laredo in Texas and Duluth, Minnesota, along Interstate 35, would allow the US to bypass the west coast ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to import goods from China and the Far East into the heart of middle America via Mexico, saving both cost and time. A Mexican job program paid for by Uncle Sam.
A ten lane highway into the US from Mexico will bring in how many illegals daily.
