The goal is to eliminate ports of entry for commercial shipping into the US. All shipping will come through Mexico with its cheap labor and will be trucked into the US and Canada. The US role is to ensure the highway systems is open for such commerce.

US taxpayers will foot the bill to put more US workers out of jobs and will get lower prices in some cases.

The super highway, fills a gap where it was believed a new road was necessary. Existing interstates will provide the rest of the system.

If you have a friend or relative who's a young longshoreman, you might recommend that they go back to school.

Quit being a goofball.

Look at the backlog of ships waiting for a dock at Long Beach or Los Angeles. They are maxxed out.

The goal is to open new harbors to get stuff we want shipped in and stuff we want shipped out.

It's nothing more sinister than that.

Or a trucker.

Those Mexican truckers may not read or speak English, but they'll drive 20 hours a day,
for a few McSkillet Burritos.
