The system no American ever uses. Do you actually read what you post, mk.

I never said that Americans don't use the Interstate Highway System, so don't even try putting words in my mouth. I said that the system had a commerial impact upon the businesses that were bypassed as the System was expanded and completed. (The old U.S. 301 is a great example of this, let's see if you can figure out which Interstate put the businesses along that highway out to pasture?)

Now try to wrap your mind around this concept:

The U.S. Interstate Highway System, despite the financial costs to the business community DID enhance American economic AND national security due to the improved transport of cargo goods AND due to the potential of using the IHS for emergency SAC landing strips had we ended up in a shooting war with the Soviets.

But this proposed Immigration Superhighway is NOT going to improve our national or economic security because it will make it easier for illegals to enter and transit our Nation more efficiently, and the resources we're going to need to patrol and enforce the laws (hopefully U.S. laws) along this new hyper-slab are not available. Hell man, we can't even deploy sufficient forces to defend our southern border, you think we're going to rely on local and state police to maintain order on this international highway?

Who's going to pay for it?
