Official Mexican government reports reveal Mexico has entered discussions with the state of Texas and top officials in the Bush administration to extend the Trans-Texas Corridor into Mexico, with a plan to connect through Monterrey to the deep-water Mexican ports on the Pacific, including Manzanillo and Lazaro Cardenas.
The official website of the Mexican northeastern state of Nuevo León contain multiple reports that José Natividad Gonzáles Parás, governor of the Mexican state of Nuevo León, has actively discussed with numerous U.S. government officials, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the extension of the Trans-Texas Corridor into Mexico to create what's called a "Trans North America Corridor."
Gov. Gonzales Paras and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters at Transportes Olympic in February 2007.
In an August trip to Mexico, Perry made news in U.S. media by calling the idea of building a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border "idiocy."
Largely unreported in the American press were meetings Perry held in Mexico with Gonzáles Parás in which the two discussed extending the corridor into Mexico.
In their private meetings, the pair thoroughly discussed extending TTC-35 into Mexico, according to a report on the government's site.

... and this extention of the corridor into Mexico will be financed how? Will the USA be required to pay for this?
That’s so more poisoned/dangerous Chinese products can come through the Mexican ports to a store near you, accompanied by drug cartel imports and illegal aliens, of course. Thank you, US government.
That is because they use the words, "super corridor."
According to Dobbs report on information from Judicial Watch, obtained only through FOIA, it appears so...
Through the Freedom of Information Act, Judicial Watch recently obtained a 10-page document, "a financial work plan that describes how U.S. taxpayers would fund grants to Mexico. The work plan states:
'...the establishment of a grant fund for development with U.S. and Canadian resources to finance the development of physical infrastructure in Mexico.' Canadian funds would also be committed to the project. Judicial Watch is calling for complete disclosure...."
Don’t matter what we want, even if we are the VAST majority.
Big business wants this and it will happen.
Screw you.
Thanx for the ping nic.
ahh yes - the gutting of America continues.
Nope. Not real. There are at least 3-4 posters right here on FR that will tell you so. Pipe dream, they say. With references to tinfoil. Just ask them.
I’ve got photos of Typhoon Class subs, I’ve got photos of Taliban funerals, but I’ve yet to see a photo of a purported 400 yard wide super highway cutting through the south west. This is Black Helicopter material.
Only about 20% of Texans think that a fence will be effective.
If you think a fence is effective, build one around your state. You don't need to worry about how this might affect your onion exports, you still have an abundant supply of crackers to export.
I guess opinion polls should guide whether or not we build a fence. While were at it, lets put out the welcome mat.
PS: I’ve been to Texas quite a few times (Houston, Dallas/FW). You might look closer to home before throwing the word “cracker” around. Your state has more than its share of rednecks.
That it does...it most certainly does.
You are absolutely correct. There indeed are several planned; and included within those plans are rails, between them:
News coming on the NAFTA Rail road along the super-corridor
Second pic above is screen shot of first page and link to pdf file.
Captions for photos:1. The Port of Lazaro Cardenas on Mexico’s Pacific Coast is in the midst of a $290 million
expansion that will expand its capacity to more than 2 million TEUs per year.
2. The world’s three largest shipping companies already offer regularly scheduled service at Lazaro Cardenas.
3. In 1997, Kansas City Southern and TMM joined forces to create Transportacion Ferroviaria Mexicana (TFM), paving the way for what is now known as “The Nafta Railway.”
4. A single 1,300-mile railroad, under common management, seamlessly connects Mexican seaports to the central United States.
5. This is the sole railroad bridge connecting the United States with Mexico at Laredo, Texas.
TANKS Nic...
yw, CM
Trans-Texas/Mexico/Whatever Corridor PING!
yeah...that again.
Where can I find that super-corridor map you posted?
I downloaded that pic quite some time ago, and believe I obtained it from the NAFTA website itself. I believe they've been removing such "blatantly obvious" pictures of the corridor since that time as they have been getting a lot of flack over this whole business with anyone who's pro-American and informed, or becoming informed. There's a smaller version of that pic at this website, with this article:
North American Union, Global Governance Welcome to the no man's land of the 'North Americanist'
"Plans that promote regional government development can be found in the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPPNA or SPP). In Canada, initiatives have also come under headings like Deep Integration, or the Big Idea. Regardless of the title, the outcome will be the same: regional priorities taking precedence over national sovereignty, economy, goals and culture."Think about what's happening in the town where you live. Governments at every level and their impact on your everyday life becoming ever more insidious.
"Commissions, task forces and working groups--that bypass elected representatives and public interests--are "harmonizing" or "integrating" rational policies of countries (similar decision-making is also operating at local and state levels), " Niwa continues. "Eminent domain (power to seize private property without owner consent) is increasingly employed to remove barriers to (regional/global) free trade plans--like private property located on hundreds of thousands of acres of land on international corridor (NAFTA superhighway) routes that will run through many states; or private property located in cities/counties selected for international trade hub/port development (unbeknownst to the public at large)."
Believe me, if hundreds of thousands of acres of private land were being confiscated for these supercorridors, the press would be all over it. They’re not THAT brain-dead. However, knowing that the idea itself actually does exist is very helpful.
I also noticed the Trans-Texas Corridor graphic inset.
Yep; I believe this map is from the NAFTA/NASCO site originally....the design quality and features of it are similar to the other maps they have been putting out.
It really has been interesting to watch the evolution of FR over the years. Some good, some bad.
But for the life of me the biggest surprise has been seeing so many Freepers become mouthpieces for the Teamsters.
If a Hitler was the liberal’s enemy, then, for that moment in time, we’re on the same side.
Sorry you can’t see the forest from the trees.
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” This is said to be an Arab proverb. How fitting.
your brush paints a black and white picture.
i’ve been posting on this issue since at least 2003.
my view is different:
1. i’m not against new roads.
2. i’m against perry/zachry/cintra corruption.
3. i don’t like unions, period.
Oh, I see the forest alright.
I see the Teamsters in a blind panic that their utterly corrupt mob tactics that gave them monopoly control over U.S. Trucking are finally being threatened. It just breaks my little heart.
Its not quite as much fun as seeing Pablo Escobar riddled with bullets, but its close.
Organized crime deserves what it gets.
I think you’re blinded by your hatred of unions that you cannot see that, in the scheme of things concerning the SPP/NAU, they are but frogs in the same hot water that you don’t yet feel.
More to the point... Why is anyone getting excited by something by Jerome Corsi of all people... In weird nut daily?
See, that’s where people like you out yourselves.
You always want to make it about the person who’s telling you what’s in the documents, rather than about the DOCUMENTS.
foflol! You’re so transparent.
Thanks for the video link of Lou Dobbs.Thank God for Lou Dobbs.
Amen!
Whatever you say, Pablo.
Whatsa matter, don’t have anything bad to say about your globalist, American-sellout buddies?
OK... The Pablo comment was over the top. My apologies.
But on the larger question I simply fail to see the problem. So what if mexican or canadian trucks take their stuff all the way to market instead of being forced to offload to union trucks at the border?
US trucks can also get reciprocity into Canada and Mexico. So what? May the best truckers win.
I’m sure lots of people are just all broken up over any threat to the Teamsters deathgrip on the throats of business in the US. I guess I’m just not one of them.
You see, it's NOT about Corsi. It's about greedy sellouts, greedy globalists and greedy elitists. The middle class America is being destroyed....good paying jobs are going away and taxes are going up, just so the corporate greedholders and globalists have their NAU and $$$$, that's "all" that matters.
The Teamsters are just reaping a benefit.
No doubt the US will get to pay for it, but Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim will collect the road tolls for us himself.
Return to ostrich mode...stick head back into sand
“This is black helicopter material”.
The 400 yd. wide highway is in the works in Texas now. After extensive hearings throughout the affected region drew large heated protests, the State Legislature passed a law to delay any new state tollroads for two years so that they could study the matter further. This passed with a veto proof majority close to the end of the session. Gov. Rick “Goodhair” Perry (R-Mexico) waited until the Legislature adjourned for two years and then vetoed the Bill. (Gov. Goodhair was reelected last year with 39% of the vote in a 4 way race).
This is for real. Highways, railroad tracks, pipelines and utility ROW all in one massive ROW that will destroy small rural communties, scar the landscape, divide Couties (There is limited overpasses and acess) and no telling how much environmental damage.
Ironically, the same people who decry the Border Fence for it’s supposed environmental damage approve this monstrosity.
Welcome to the NAU!
And what poll shows only 20% of Texans support a fence on the Border? This is Bogus. A more true poll would show the opposite.
Perry talked a good game before the election concerning Border issues but it was all a big gigantic lis. “Goodhair” will be doing good to match his 39% if he runs for reelection.
