I think this is just another example of our government paving the way (sorry for the pun) for the Mexicans to flood into our country. The immigration hearings just made the intent become crystal clear.

And exactly how would this new road accomplish that? Be specific.

With these illegals willing to walk for days in the desert, do you really think that being able to shorten the trip from Laredo to Dallas by a few hours is going to be their deciding factor in whether to come north? If this road is primarily for illegal aliens, why is the first section only being built from San Antonio to north of Dallas (finished around 2015), while the Laredo-San Antonio portion isn't going to be built until probably at least 2025?

I wonder, if we can't get the state to properly maintain and improve the I-35, how will we be able to get the private company to properly maintain the tollroad when it gets to be 20 years old?

I don't think a highway is going to be the 'deciding factor'. Never claimed such. But it sure makes mass migration alot easier.

I never said it was PRIMARILY FOR illegal aliens, but I think the fact that it assists them is not a deterent and it would look pretty blatant to just start paving at the border and head East, now wouldn't it? I would think the state would build the first section in the area most heavily traveled now by our populace. I am in agreement that we need something on this order, but I see imminent domain all over this.
