Great, more globalism. We greedy Americans just make too much money. But government is working on helping to bring down our wages to global levels.
Try this website for your sister. Some people are angry with Perry. This excerpt from the article will explain why they are angry.

excerpt.....
With only 5,000 miles of toll roads in the United States today, The Trans Texas Corridor is a 4,000 mile plan of supertollways more. The Corridor will include tollways for 12 passenger vehicles lanes, 4 truck lanes, 2 passenger train tracks, 2 commuters train tracks, 2 freight train tracks, underground lines for water, natural gas, petroleum, telecommunication, fiberoptics and overhead high-voltage electric transmission lines and electrical transmission towers.
Plans also include gas stations, garages, restaurants, hotels, stores, billboards, warehouses, freight interchange, intermodal transfer areas, passenger train stations, bus stations, parking facilities, dispatch control centers, maintenance facilities, pipeline pumping stations, and of course, toll booths. The Trans Texas Corridor is the largest engineering project ever proposed for Texas. This statewide network of corridors will measure a quarter mile wide and cost over $180 Billion dollars.
Secret deal with a private foreign company.
Gov. Rick Perry has had secret negations with a company from Spain, Cintra, to hold a 70 year concession for a portion of the Corridor. Perry and Cintra/Zachery withheld the agreement from the public, claiming it included proprietary information, even though taxpayer dollars to the tune of $3.5 million is going to Cintra's partner, Zachry, for planning.
Attorney General Greg Abbott rendered an opinion in June, 2005 that states the documents are public record, after the Houston Chronicle and other newspapers around Texas were refused when they asked to see the deal.
Cintra/Zachry and TxDOT filed a lawsuit against the AG in July, 2005 to keep the secret a secret.
The state will take 1/2 million acres, including the richest farm land in Texas called "The Blacklands".
excerpt....
The typical corridor section will require 146 acres of right of way per mile. The total anticipated right of way for the 4,000 miles of corridor is 584,000 acres.
Thank you for the link. I'll send it to her. She'll be fit to be tied.

You ain't seen nothin' yet.
The CFR site is loaded with info that is driving not only this administration but our Government in general. If you think that parties matter anymore you are mistaken.

OMG, America is planning to build a ROAD!!!
It's the end of the world!
Well, I sent it to her. Thanks again. Now I'll just wait for the fireworks to start.
This highway has been in the works since the early '90s, but I don't know if it was under Bush Sr. or Clinton.

This literally makes me sick to my stomach. Globalists within our country are destroying our country from within right before our very eyes, and no one questions any of it. Pathetic!

Sadly, Mr. Bush is good at this. He prefers foreign workers over American workers.
There's a reason he does things like this "quietly", and it does not end up well for American workers.

President George Bush, President Vicente Fox of Mexico, and Prime Minister Paul Martin of Canada unveiled a blueprint for a safer and more prosperous North America when they announced the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) on March 23 in Waco, TX. They agreed on ambitious security and prosperity agendas to keep our borders closed to terrorism and open to trade. The SPP is based on the premise that security and our economic prosperity are mutually reinforcing, and recognizes that our three great nations are bound by a shared belief in freedom, economic opportunity, and strong democratic institutions.
The SPP provides the framework to ensure that North America is the safest and best place to live and do business. The Partnership is a trilateral effort to increase security and enhance prosperity among the three countries through greater cooperation and information-sharing.
Guided by a Leaders Statement and Action Plans on Security and Prosperity, Cabinet Secretaries and Ministers convened trilateral working groups to develop concrete work plans and specific timetables for securing North America and ensuring legitimate travelers and cargo efficiently cross our shared borders; enhancing the competitive position of North American industries in the global marketplace; and, providing greater economic opportunities for all of our societies while maintaining high standards of health and safety.

I guess most people failed to read the above in my post to pbrown. We need to keep everything secret. Sarcasm.
The rural people are the ones mainly affected as this foreign company will confiscate their land. They are to have 50 public hearing this summer. The State is just placating the people.
Looks like it follows US 82 and 287... my rancho will
be close enough to be a rest stop.
These are Canada and Mexico's SPP sites.

After studying the map, I agree it is logistical unviable. That's why I believe the government would come up with such a project!!!
I've been hearing rumours about the US, Canada, and Mexico, joing as one. Gotta tell ya, I don't want to be part of some North American Alliance. I am Canadian, have always been Canadian, and hope to die Canadian. I have nothing against Americans, Mexicans or most anyone else other than the Muslims who think they can come to My country and change the laws. We are good trading partners and neighbors, thats as far as it needs to go. And hell, I don't need Mexicans coming up here doing jobs Canadians won't do. I'm sure that will be the next phase. I do wonder what a frozen Mexican looks like though.
Yes, but no body knows. The research continues unabaited.
rahbert, thank goodness it isn't coming through my beloved Muleshoe.
You can make millions with a lemonaide stand or something like that. Good luck!
I can see it now:
Quietly? I'm not sure how more public knowledge this can be.
This makes me cringe!
