We’re doomed! Buy my book and I’ll tell you all about it!
Who thinks that is a good plan?
Texas governor clears way for NAFTA superhighway. Heard about this on one of the right wing radio stations yesterday. Some, however, are doomed to follow the blind leading the blind. Conservatives should verify info however before mocking.
I also find it odd that the US can deploy enough munitions, men and supplies to destroy a nation(s) anywhere in the world within a few days, but we cannot build and maintain a boarder fence/wall.
Your book would suck.
Its a horrible plan, but like most of the rhetoric coming out of lame-duck DC, they have constructed a fairly decent lie.
The wall isnt built because there are certain people who dont want it built.
Now we have no way of knowing if this is a Grand Conspiracy to destroy our sovereignty and place an EU type partnership in this country along with Mexico and Canada, but certainly there are signs that lend credibility to it.
I wouldnt mock it,why else would OUR politicians go against the wil of the people and vote for this Travesty Amnesty bill.
Don’t forget about the 104 acre embassy complex we are building in Baghdad.
Prof. Corsi’s book is out! Buy your doorstop today!
[”It’s the only context in which the current immigration travesty makes sense,” says Jerome Corsi, co-author of the best-selling “Unfit for Command,” “and it must be stopped.”]
Remember, he was right about Kerry also.
We're headed for a REVOLUTION!! Prepare now.
We have NAFTA in place, OK, we alike trade but I haven't seen nor would I understand the details of it, but, that whooshing sound I heard was the loss of American manufacturing job going south.
We have another summit taking place with Presidente Bush, the Canadian PM and the Mexican Presitente in Canada ( another held last year in Mexico), for the stated purpose of stabilizing/equalizing economical and social relations between the countries, ...
We have the amnesty bill in congress. Must be nice to be able to decide which laws to obey - I don't like paying taxes ...
AND, as if that isn't enough, we have CAFTA being tossed about.
I don't claim to be a scholar but I do claim to be a patriot and these things I have listed are in my opinion, assaults on sovereignty and our national interests.
As a patriot, I am angry. As a citizen who pays my taxes, I am angry and as a voter, I will be angry.
Sovereignty? Just another law our Mexican presidente doesn't want to obey. We don't need Corsi to point that out.
Just saw where the backlog is so bad that the gov is delaying enforcement of "must have passport" on land based entry from mexico and Canada by 6 months.
If Bush and Kennedy get their amnesty Bill shoved through I bet there will not be any delay at all mailing out the green cards.
..but as I feebly connect the dots, how else can you explain (especially since 9/11)....leaving an extremely porous border available for any and all to stream through....
..yet, meanwhile, we pass all those so called security laws for our country to 'protect' us from terrorist.
I don't know....I don't have the answers...
..but lately, I'm asking myself questions I wouldn't have even formed in my mind, a few short weeks ago.
Don’t miss Jerome Corsi’s brand new book exposing plans for a North American Union, “The Late Great USA: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada.”
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, has vetoed a series of bills passed by the Texas Legislature, clearing the way for the Texas Department of Transportation to begin construction on the four-football-fields-wide new Trans-Texas Corridor along Interstate 35 (TTC-35) from the Mexican border at Laredo north to the Oklahoma border south of Oklahoma City.
On Friday, June 15, Perry vetoed an eminent-domain reform bill passed by the Legislature. Provisions in the bill would have made prohibitively expensive the acquisition of the thousands of acres of private land needed to construct the Trans-Texas corridor.
In vetoing the bill, Perry’s office issued a press release claiming House Bill No. 2006 “would vastly expand the cost to Texas taxpayers of public projects to the point where they grossly outweigh the bill’s benefits.”
Steven Anderson, director of the Institute for Justice’s Castle Coalition, objected.
“With this veto, Governor Perry has left every home, farm, ranch and small-business owner vulnerable to the abuse of eminent domain,” Anderson said in a press release.
Anderson’s organization is a national grass-roots advocacy group that works to block private-to-private transfers of property using eminent domain.
A month earlier, on May 18, Perry vetoed House Bill No. 1892, a measure that would have imposed a two-year moratorium on beginning construction on the Trans-Texas Corridor parallel to Interstate 35.
In that veto message, Perry claimed the bill “jeopardizes billions of dollars of infrastructure investment and invites a potentially significant reduction in federal transportation funding.”
(Column continues below)
As WND previously reported, these measures were approved overwhelmingly by the Texas Legislature, with HB 1892 passing the Texas House by a 137-2 margin. HB 2006 passed with 125 of the 150 votes in the House and unanimously in the Senate.
When HB 2006 cleared the Texas Legislature, the Federal Highway Administration Chief Counsel James D. Ray wrote a letter to the Texas Department of Transportation, or TxDOT, threatening to hold federal highway funds from the state if Perry signed the bill into law.
Perry’s veto message strongly suggests the FHWA’s threat was heard loud and clear in Austin.
On learning that Perry had vetoed the eminent-domain legislation, Corridor Watch, a public advocacy group that opposes the TTC project, responded immediately.
Corridor Watch posted on its website: “It sure didn’t take TxDOT long to shake off the legislative session and resume their headlong rush to use every available loophole, exception and remaining authority to build toll roads and grant toll road concessions just as fast as possible.” http://www.corridorwatch.org/ttc/index.htm
Corridor Watch also noted that in the 49 bills Perry vetoed June 15 were measures that would have required TxDOT to consider using existing highway routes for future TTC routes and a bill that called on the Texas attorney general to study the impact of international agreements on Texas.
To ward off the possibility the Texas Legislature would fight back, Perry threatened to call a “Special Session” to resolve transportation issues should members vote to override his veto on HB 1892, the moratorium issue.
The 80th Texas Legislature wrapped up its 140-day session May 29, immediately after Memorial Day.
Now, sponsors would have to reintroduce these bills in the next legislative session and start all over again. The Texas Legislature only meets every other year, unless the governor calls a special session for a specific agenda.
According to Bloomberg.com, the last time the Texas Legislature overrode a governor’s veto was more than a quarter of a century ago, in 1979.
As WND has previously reported, the $180 billion needed to build the 4,000-mile TTC network planned for construction over the next 50 years will be financed by Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a foreign investment consortium based in Spain. Cintra will own the leasing and operating rights on TTC highways for 50 years after their completion is complete.
WND has also reported Perry has received substantial campaign contributions from Cintra and Zachry Construction Company, the San Antonio-based construction firm selected by TxDOT to build out the TTC.
Rudeboy, tell me again that rinos are not selling us out.
WND has established that Cintra is represented in the United States by Bracewell and Giuliani, Republican Party presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani’s Houston-based law firm.
Even though TTC superhighways will be built by a private investment consortium from Spain, Texas conveniently can make use of the recent Supreme Court case Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005).
"The European Union, which now holds millions of voiceless, voteless Europeans in thrall to a heedless Brussels bureaucracy, was put into place little by little over a 50-year period," Corsi writes, "not by the citizens of the member states, but by elitists who disguised their goal of a regional government."Yet Corsi argues that Bush's plan is to implement the NAU by 2010. (I'm not going to buy the book simply to see if he's backed-down from his claim).
Regarding illegal immigration, it's pretty clear that our politicians don't have the balls to do anything about it. It's somewhat ironic (or an excellent business plan) for Corsi to make a profit from the issue. The excellence of the business plan is that his book makes it easier for the anti-illegal immigration movement to be branded as kooks. Making it possible to sell more books. Quite nearly brilliant, now that I think about it.
Ya know, I can think of a LOT of federal "laws" that I would just as soon take a nice loooong wizz on.
