"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."

Huh? How?

I suspect that was a reference to longshoreman's unions and the cost of labor in California.

Walamrt is already doing this in a modified way by using the Port of Houston and the Panama Canal..... They are bring in some 28% of their far east container imports this way now. They changed their method because of the Christmas delays experienced in 03 at ports in southern CA.

Essentially, it will allow the importation of cheap Chinese goods through a port in Mexico then transport them north, thereby cutting out the west coast ports and unions
