I like that plan.
I guess I don't feel like I am over-reacting, as some are saying here. When I read that SPAIN will OWN some of this thing - what is that all about? Didn't we buy some of the US from Spain and France, so they would never have a foothold in our country and it would be all belong to WE THE PEOPLE?
There are a lot of questions that need to be asked and anwered. If this idea is in fact something that will benefit the US and all of its citizens, we need to know how and why.
The NASCO website does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling about the future of our security.
Soon coming to KC Customs........IMPORTS
"Perhaps this has been 'common' knowledge for a long time, (just not to me?) but why is the dropdown selection on the NASCO website for MEMBERS, password protected? I guess since this asinine plan is being paid for from the planning on up with our tax dollars, we have no business knowing who its MEMBERS are?
"
I accessed the NASCO site you're talking about, and visited most of the drop down menu pages.
I see that this group does have a Members Only section. That's true of most web sites for organizations. There's a nice membership application on the site. You could join, and see the rest.
Like 20 "plus" million amnestied facts voting democrat..
FOR HILLARY.. screw the road.. Theres bigger fish to fry.. other than serious graft in a future highway bill for some wazoo road.. Globalism has larger issues than highway construction.. On the other hand this projected highway is a clue.. An Open Border is a multi issue FACT..
Lots of sites have functions that are for members only. FR only allows registered members to post, for instance. Hardly sinister.
Jerome Corsi has been talking about the so-called "unification" of North America for some time now. If you believe a North American equivalent to the EU is good, you're the "wackjob". Bush`s support for globalism plays right into the hands of those who support the idea of uniting Mexico, Canada and the USA into one giant hemispheric consortium. WalMart America! This mindset undermines US sovereignty and tosses the Constitution out the window. Sorry you don't see it that way.
Btw, Jerome Corsi did a pretty good job on working with John O'Neill and the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in further exposing John Kerry for being a total lowlife. While I don't agree with all of Corsi's opinions, Unfit for Command was a big reason why Dubya won the 2004 election.

Under ABOUT NASCO, the MEMBER ONLY link.
Just saying, tax money has been expended already for the planning and design phase, and shouldn't this be an open book for anyone to see?
It isn't as thought the site contains cockpit details of the JSF. It's a ROAD, as I keep hearing from other folks on this site. Only a ROAD.
Agree. The moonbats are barking.

"bypassing the Longshoreman's Union in the process."
Its horsepucky.
It opens one port in mexico that wont be controled by longshoremen.
Are longshoremen supposed to be in control of foriegn ports?
L0L
The longshoremen still will work in all the American ports that they are presently working in.
All this does is improves the trade ifrastructure, lowers trade prices and gets a bunch of trucks off of the freeways we have to commute on
That's simply a false understanding. It's not so. Border inspections will continue, and if anything, they will get more intense.
Because Corsi helped with the Swiftboat stuff doesn't give him carte blanche to become a nutjob about everything else.
Facts are still facts.
There was trade between countries even before our nation was founded.
Roads were invented before Christ.
All of that preceded the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, and Jerome Corsi's birth.
That's a good link. Thanks.

Not necessarily. This is a private organization. Yes, it has received federal funds for this planning, etc. Lots of private organizations receive federal funds in that way. The Members Only area is probably a discussion group or something like that. I'll betcha Boeing won't let you see everyting on their site, either, and they get WAY more than $2.5 Million.
Not everything is a conspiracy
We can't stop the van loads of illegals invading America. Trucks will only open up more transportation of the invaders.

Border inspection is the solution.
ROADS are not the problem.
This should not be a difficult concept.
The High-Tech Highway
Interstate 35 was added to the list of high priority corridors as part of the NHS legislation, but it was not included in ISTEA. The North America Superhighway Coalition, formed by leaders from 21 Texas counties, coordinates efforts to secure funding for highway. In addition, the coalition wants to see Interstate 35 reborn as a high-tech superhighway. According to Texas' Fiscal Notes:
"Supporters in Texas propose that a fiber optic spine be installed along Interstate 35 to track cargo from origin to destination and to recommend the quickest and most cost-efficient routes to be drivers. The superhighway would include international signs and would allow cargos to be pre-cleared at U.S. Customs at inland ports. All tolls, taxes, and fees could be prepaid and transferred to appropriate states. Border inspections could be cut to a minimum. In May 1995, then-U.S. Transportation Secretary Federico Pena announced the two pilot projects designed to automate the clearance of commercial border crossings and to improve safety. The projects ... are expected to electronically identify the vehicle and check the pertinent safety, customs, and immigration data before the shipment's arrival. Tests on the project began in the spring of 1995 and are expected to end in early 1997."
These tests may be ongoing both in Texas and in Arizona.
Interstate 35 and Interstate 69 (Corridors 18 and 20)
The North America Superhighway Coalition was founded to advocate Interstate 35 as a route from Canada to Mexico. The Interstate 35 Corridor Coalition was partially developed because of a perceived threat from the proposed Interstate 69 being considered in Eastern Texas. I have read several articles that attest to this rivalry, including the map above. Despite all the debate between proponents of both corridors, in my opinion it all comes down to this: Interstate 35 is built and Interstate 69 is not.

My comment below.
These highways have been studied since the mid 1990's. Much of the plan involved in the study has already been accomplished. I would also like to point out increased illegal immigration and non enforcement of immigration laws have steadily declined during the same period of time. I believe the business aspect of illegal immigration could not be more clearly defined.
