Bypassing the left-backing union leadership is a good thing. Putting a lot of their working guys out of a job is not.

"Quietly but systematically, the Bush Administration is advancing the plan to build a huge NAFTA Super Highway,"

First things first, Mr President, build that wall. All 2000 miles of it.

NAFTA, CAFTA, CFR, UN, NWO, guest worker amnesty program, and now this monstrosity to split America in half, and provide a super-highway for terrorists and illegal aliens, right in America's Heartland.

The globalists are winning and we're the frog in the slowly-warming-to-a-boil pot of water.

I don't think America is going to know what even hit us, until after it happens.

Am I being an alarmist, or what?

Where's the duct tape? My head feels like it's going to explode and I have blood running out of my eyeballs.

(((sigh)))

Just another MSM hit job on Bush.
I find nothing to tie the administration to this highway.

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 Longshoreman’s Union in the process. The Mexican trucks, without the involvement of the Teamsters Union, will drive on what will be the nation’s most modern highway straight into the heart of America.

Imagine--prosperity without the union thuggery. My beeber is stuned.

More on this replacement of US soverignty and the introduction of the 'AMERO' for the US Dollar by 'Bush the Globalist' here..............

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1636175/posts

Including the replacement of the US Supreme Court with a more regional 'Body':

".....Pastor also proposed the creation of a Permanent Tribunal on Trade and Investment with the view that “a permanent court would permit the accumulation of precedent and lay the groundwork for North American business law.” The intent is for this North American Union Tribunal would have supremacy over the U.S. Supreme Court on issues affecting the North American Union, to prevent U.S. power from “irritating” and retarding the progress of uniting Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. into a new 21st century super-regional governing body......"

Like it or not, the free market is larger than it used to be, and capitalism reigns.

Doesn't anyone realize that if more situations like the longshoreman's unions in the USA bypassed in favor of dock workers in Mexico, the following will happen:

(1) More jobs in an improved Mexican economy, causing more Mexicans to stay in Mexico, rather than impatiently risking illegal entry into the USA to seek work? With Mexico's economy improved, people will have less of a desire to leave.

(2) Unions (whose wages basically constitute "price controls" which do not compete in a free market) will be broken, and their powerful lefty bosses will be a lot less powerful...meanwhile, former union workers will find new jobs (with wages more in line with what the free market will sustain) in an American economy which will continue to be robust. Perhaps they will find jobs with companies who will be performing well due to lower operating costs by shipping goods via Mexico. Perhaps, dock workers in the USA will continue to work, just at the wages that the free market determines they should have.

So where exactly is the problem?

Make it more difficult for illegals to enter, and they will stop, you say. I say that it will make them more resourceful than ever in their methods to break in. A wall on the border, on its own, will not work. You must also improve the conditions in Mexico so that there is less of a desire for potential illegals to leave and come here. It is a two way street, believe it or not. Supply and demand. Many of you are forgetting about how strong the demand is. Only lessening the supply will not get the job done.

Walmart has complete an off loading terminal at the Port Of Houston which they will bring in upwards of 28% of all their container imports.... Using the Panama Canal to get around having to use the Ports in CA.

Jorge's at it again. Enriching the Mexican entrepreneurs, that Americans won't.

Lazaro Cardenas

A couple of questions.

- How do the goods get from the Mexican port to the US border? Do they have good roads?

- Who runs the Port? Is Dubai Ports World involved?

- Why would China abandon the terminals it owns on the West Coast of the US and go to Mexico?

Globalism marches on.. Must going to be Hillary to usher "us" into the World FREE Republic with U.S. as a mere State.. Soon thereafter to be morphed into the World FREE Democracy..

The U.S. must've been the test case for morphing a republic into a democracy.. Well thats pretty much accomplished, NOW..
