Quietly but systematically, the Bush Administration is advancing the plan to build a huge NAFTA Super Highway, four football-fields-wide, through the heart of the U.S. along Interstate 35, from the Mexican border at Laredo, Tex., to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minn Once complete, the new road will allow containers from the Far East to enter the United States through the Mexican port of Lazaro Cardenas, bypassing the Longshoremans Union in the process. The Mexican trucks, without the involvement of the Teamsters Union, will drive on what will be the nations most modern highway straight into the heart of America. The Mexican trucks will cross border in FAST lanes, checked only electronically by the new SENTRI system. The first customs stop will be a Mexican customs office in Kansas City, their new Smart Port complex, a facility being built for Mexico at a cost of $3 million to the U.S. taxpayers in Kansas City.
As incredible as this plan may seem to some readers, the first Trans-Texas Corridor segment of the NAFTA Super Highway is ready to begin construction next year. Various U.S. government agencies, dozens of state agencies, and scores of private NGOs (non-governmental organizations) have been working behind the scenes to create the NAFTA Super Highway, despite the lack of comment on the plan by President Bush. The American public is largely asleep to this key piece of the coming North American Union that government planners in the new trilateral region of United States, Canada and Mexico are about to drive into reality.
Corsi is a Republican, not a Democrat. But he's dead wrong on this issue.
You also need to address the question of what to do with the improved, widened and fully routed I-69 which will connect with this highway at the Texas state line.
Bush has nothing to do with this. Bunch of tin-hat mumbo
jumbo.
Rural Texans oppose the Corrider, while urban Texas favor it. Urban Texans are the ones that have to deal with the traffic caused by increased trade.
Yeah, I was wrong to name it Dim analysis. However I live near where this monstrosity will cross Texas, and it is going to isolate several communities here because they won't build bridges to cross this behemoth. It's going to cut off neighborhoods from fire department and ambulance service and make you drive an additional 50 miles to get to Dallas or any other big city.
Terminating in Duluth/Superior, is that weird or what? Nothing up there, unless there's plans to revive the iron mining industry and harvest evergreen scrub for the pulp industry. There's the shipping ports, but the St. Lawrence Seaway can't handle the big boats and the Soo Locks would need a megabillion overhaul to handle much of anything. Anyway, I thought we're going to get all our resources from other countries, and to protect our own lands from harvesting.
There's no way to connect to our coalfields, no direct route into Chicago, where 37% of our GDP is generated. It bypasses the Mississippi, New York City, and writes off California.
It's already fully funded and it's a head scratcher.
But back to the NAFTA SuperHighway -- it is scheduled to run through several states, but will not be subject to any State's laws, as NAFTA rule will be dominant over State laws. If the American people don't wake up, the administration will quietly phase in their plans for the "Free Trade Area of the Americas" (FTAA) under which "illegal immigration" will be replaced by the term "migration" and the resulting free-for-all will allow anyone in Mexico (or anyone that can sneak into Mexico) or anyone in Canada (which already harbors scores of foreign Terrorists) to enter our country without our approval.
This plan needs to be stopped by Congress. WAKE UP, AMERICA. Your government is doing this to you!
Oh, and if you don't believe the above information, it just shows how ignorant you are of what's -really- going on in this country. Wise up!
NAFTA rules! LOL
These guys are so dumb I'm surprised they can post to FR.
You'd think he'd have bumped the other thread. The one with 770+ replies. Judging from the posting history, he's rusty.
"Building a North American Community" from Council on Foreign Relations, or the NAFTA Superhighway.
Here is the .pdf report from them detailing
- how there should be a common border around Canada-USA-Mexico
-how Candada-USA-Mexico should have common defenses against terrorism
- how migrant labor should move freely between countries
- how commerce (trucking and aircraft) should travel with minimum restrictions
- how a single CanAmeriMEx social security system should be installed
and much, much more! Watch out for the CFR!
