Inland ports do relieve congestion at coastal ports, but this NAFTA superhighway has many people on both sides of the political spectrum concerned and unhappy. No prerequisite is needed in global trade issues to understand that borders, language and culture have important meaning to most Americans. And while free trade is critical to America's economic future, free trade agreements must also be fair trade agreements. The Feds keep making trade agreements with foreign nations who don't respect America's rights. Above all America's sovereignty and Americans security shouldn't be sold out in the name of excessively liberal trade desires.

Setting up a short sea transportation network on the Pacific coast within US sovereign territory would relieve congestion, and improve the domestic economy. But since transnationalists seem to be in charge of port policy, its the race to the bottom with a wealth transfer to Lazaro Cardenas as the payoff. Don't forget that Hutchison Wampoa has invested billions in Lazaro Cardenas and want to keep their profit levels highs while at the same time, they establish total control over their supply chain(thats what this transportation corridor really is). It will quash any oversight by the American people about goods and traffic into our own country, that is, eliminate our sovereignty over our borders where this corporation is concerned.

Since 'red' means green to the "free traders" they will defend this unrestricted access by Hutchison to the death.
