This alarmist POS has already been posted.

And it didn't deserve the space the first time.

Embassies and consulates are also sovereign territory.

In other words, BFD.

What's the big deal? This sort of arrangement is as common as tomato soup.

And you note that NOWHERE does Corsi say that the land will become Mexican soverign territory min law, only that it will be treated as such - and what he does not say is that such treatment will be only for some limited commercial purposes. This is not a soverignity giveaway as the innuendo suggests.

I am certain that around the world there are numerous examples in free trade zones where other nations territory is treated as US territory for exactly the same commerce-friendly reasons.

Lighten up.

And Corsi should be ashamed of himself for this kind of noxious stirring up trouble where non exists.

If Missourians allow this "Corruption 'R Us" in the heartland, every state will have the drug and illegal alien smuggling problem that now infests the border states. The cartels pay off Mexican government officials for the privilege of operating, and the state of Missouri and the US federal government would have to keep hands off. Are we totally NUTS???

Unacceptable. Tell them to pound sand.

Doesn't the US have offshore Customs facilities operating under similar arrangements?

Stopping this One-World boondoggle is critical. Those who are screaming on this thread that this is no big deal have issues with U.S. citizens asserting American sovereignty. I see these types at FR constantly lately. They seem to have the same pro-Administration, pro-Nafta, pro-foreign control POV.

Who cares what they say? Americans must do the right thing to preserve America in the face of the One-Worlders.

I am torn two ways on this.
It probably would create jobs in the KC area.
However, it is not ONLY an export site. Imports from Mexico would come through here also.

While I think that, as corrupt as Mexico's government is, there might be a problem with smuggling (both ways) I'm not so sure that, given the right oversight, this export/import area could be a good thing all in all.

In almost any country a customs department of another country is treated as, although it is not, sovereign territory of the country that is receiving the export.
This is nothing new.
I'm just not so sure that I want a representative sample of Mexican corruption and smuggling smack dab in the middle of Kansas City.

I have met Joyce Mucci numerous times. She is quite a looker.
