So we will wind up shipping most goods through Mexico instead of our west coast ports?

Doesnt this go through Nuevo Laredo? It is not safe for Americans to walk the streets just across the border.

I am not convinced this is good for Americans. Mexico needs to make progress to becoming a good neighbor first IMHO.

Depending upon the route you take but one route would take you to Laredo. Also don't forget the I-69 Corridor from South Texas to Port Huron, MI. Another route[s] could be coming in from one of the Mexico's Pacific ports. Corsi keeps writing about Lazaro Cardenos [which is farther south of Topolobampa and would use Laredo] and then there is the other from Topolobampo [La-Entrada_Al-Pacifico>

Walmart has already moved a lot of it's container imports from the West Coast to Houston with a new facility that just opened. They will be shipping up to 28% of the total container imports thru the facility and use the Panama Canal with smaller ships and a longer shipping time.

All said and done there are many options being explored and which will be the viable ones is yet to be determined. But I suspect one or more will come into being as commerce isn't going to be denied, imo. The Luddites are long gone and the buggy whip isn't needed for the current transportation modes.

Now back to the paint brush/roller for a while.
