I'm sure the usual suspects will be along shortly to call Mr. Hannity a racist.

I am sure the usual RINOs will be along to call this a conspiracy theory.

They seem to follow the same playbook of "liberals":

Deny, Deceive, Disrupt, Distract, Destroy...

Those kind of assinine comments may work on liberal know-nothings, but to anyone who has a reading level over 5th grade can see the internal emails for themselves. They can read the documents for themselves.

Anyone who has lost or had a friend or family member who has lost a job due to NAFTA or other "outsourcing" knows this is not a "conspiracy"

Incidentally... if you cannot read at a 5th grade level, atleast it explains your addiction to kool-aid.

I wonder how long the Admins here will continue to put these articles in "conspiracy" section, even when Lou Dobbs acknowledges the truth. When the data is from the government's webstites. When the plans are published! When internal emails confirm the "theory".

The Admin should be ashamed.

Apologies if it is infact against the rules.

Hey dumbass, I've about had it up to here with conspiracy morons who see the sun rise in the east, set in the west, and immediately come screaming into here in an abject panic about how "The sun clearly revolves around the earth, any non-RINO with a 5th-grade reading level can see it!" Post idiotic tinfoil crap and I'll respond appropriately.

Look bud, I've worked for a railroad (union, not mgmt) and am somewhat familiar with what is going on. It isn't anything sinister like that chicken little Corsi concludes. He adds 1+1 and gets 7. Well calm down, the answer is simply 2. Basically west coast ports are reaching buildout, and imports are overflowing into east coast ports, Canadian ports (Vancouver is also nearing capacity, hence the move to upgrade Prince Rupert to handle large container ships) and soon Mexican ports. Until the Panama Canal is expanded only the smaller ships can reach east and gulf coast ports, so for some types of cargo is most advantageous to unload on the west coast and rail to the interior.

I've also researched some of the toll road proposals, and they are simply about meeting increasing travel demand in Texas, some of which is pass through trade. But every 3-4 years Texas adds the equivalent population of another Austin area, most of that growth along the I-35 corridor. It is cheaper and affects far fewer property owners to build a freeway in the country than to expand the existing I-35 a similar amount through the urban areas, hence the choice of route. By letting a toll company build and operate it (but not own, it will still be a Texas road) the state won't have to spend any taxpayer money to double capacity and it will get built 10 years sooner than if the state was paying for it. BTW, are you aware that the tollway Corsi bitches about will be built only from San Antonio-Dallas by 2015, with the extensions to the Oklahoma and Laredo borders not until 2025? If this is some grand Mexican conspiracy, why the 10-year delay in connecting to the border? Funny how Corsi left that info out.

So what if they are going to eventually use trucks, too? That's simply good business sense, not all producers are close to rail intermodal terminals. In fact there are only a handful in Mexico, and a handful more in Texas. KCS railroad (the only railroad serving the KC site) only has 2 in Texas, with plans for a 3rd. Big deal.

Corsi and one of his kook lemmings had a rant today about how there was actually going to be a sovereign consulate at the KC site, and how this was going to somehow destroy our country. Never mind that there have been numerous embassies and consulates all over this country for 2 centuries.

Calm down, do some research, read beyond these kook conspiracies rantsites, get some actual facts, and use logic and common sense. You'll be able to relax and save your energy for things that actually are of concern, instead of hunting for witches.

a moron? Why? Because he wants to secure our borders? because he doesnt want an international unelected regulatory body controlling trade, transport, air travel, health issues, agriculture, and our energy?

Or is that simply the only thing you can say when confronted with the admittedly upsetting truth of what our President (among others) are doing?

Its not an easy truth. But it is the truth nonetheless.

Not if you are a family dirving on the highway going to visit other family on the 4th of July and are slammed into by a substandard driver with substandard equipment. (you did know that with all your expertise that Mexican drivers and trucks DO NOT have to pass our rigorous standards?) Not if you are a civilian that get killed from a WMD loaded onto a mexican truck, driven all the way to Kansas City before it passes "border" inspection. It seems you are just like many in this so-called conservative adminsitration, you favor "the green" over the Red, White, and Blue.

This is the ridiculous jumping to conclusions I am talking about. So now they are going to truck WMD's to Kansas City. I got news for you, any truck crossing the border on a road or rail line is going to still get some form of inspection, this is primarily a shift in where the paperwork portion is checked. At the border the dogs will still sniff 'em, and if they are using sensors they'll still pass through those, too, just like all the other trucks and trains. However if the container seals are broken they will be stopped at the border.

The system isn't perfect, but it isn't going to be anything like Corsi thinks it will be.

If it's all as benign as you suggest, why are they lying about it?

I got news for you, any truck crossing the border on a road or rail line is going to still get some form of inspection That would be the sensible thing. However, that is not what the documents bear out. The borders at Laredo et al, will be fitted with RFID sensors that will verify the shipment. There is no reference to an actual physical search. In fact, the studies behind this policy urge the ultimate free flow of goods and people across the "border". You seem to be an intelligent and rational person, and not a troll as I bleieved from your first post. So I offer you my apologies. I hope you accept them, and please do some of this research yourself, before assuming that myself and others like me are merely "conspiracy nuts". deal?

From the 'sinister' email in question:

"They are still going back and forth on the rail and truck focus."

Sounds like they were in the planning stages and hadn't decided. So at one point it might have been true, and at another point perhaps false. BFD. And it doesn't matter much one way or the other if they are going to add trucks or not. A large planned storage, repacking, and distribution import/export warehouse complex considering using trucks as well as rail to bring in merchandise, what's so hard to fathom about that?

I'm getting sleepy, perhaps Corsi and his lemmings will deduce that a Buildaburger had me poisoned.

Why did you ignore these statements in the email? most likely be "rail only" with trucking added later. ... We can expand to trucks after getting the process up and running.
