"I'm still trying to figure out the "why" for all this. Why do we need a road four football fields wide? Is there that much traffic that needs to get from Mexico to Kansas City and Winnipeg? Existing roads can't handle it? Why build a brand new border check facility in Kansas City? Why not just expand existing facilities THAT ARE ACTUALLY ON THE BORDER if they don't have enough capacity?
Here's my guess about what this is really about: This is about Wal-mart getting its cheap Chinese goods to its warehouses even faster and cheaper by bypassing West Coast ports and paying Mexicans for the entire cost of transportation. The Chinese goods never once have to touch American hands before they get to Wal-mart. And they're not even willing to deal with the delays of getting their goods through customs, so they're having American taxpayers build a special border office and super-special-fast highway just for them, all for the privilege of getting cut out of handling the transport of the goods, let alone the manufacturing. In fact, it makes moving production to China even more sensible. And we're paying the entire cost of setting this up for them. That's just brilliant.Wow - somebody's paying attention! "
"This "superhighway" is an interim tool to help lay the foundation for economic parity between Canada and Mexico, which is a primary tenet/requirement for a single, fully integrated North American economy. By bypassing the US to bring in cheap goods, cheap labor, and to enable the de-industrialization of Canada, Mexico gets a step up while Canada takes a step down.
Essentially, you end up with a situation similar to the US/Mexican border without the need of a border to enable exploitation."

Canada-Mexico highway step closer

Interstate 69, which would enhance trade opportunities created by the North American Free Trade Agreement, would connect Texas to Michigan, mainly through existing roadways.
It would be the shortest route from Mexico to Canada.
Transportation "is the lifeblood of our economy. I believe we must finish Interstate 69," U.S. SENATOR JOHN CORNYN (R--Texas), told members of the Alliance for I-69 Texas at their annual meeting. "We must recognize that this is a key project, particularly for the future of our economy and the success of Texas businesses."
I-69's border crossing ports in Texas, from Laredo to Brownsville, handle 49 per cent of all U.S. truck-borne trade with Mexico. Crossing ports in Michigan handle 47 per cent of U.S. truck-borne trade with Canada.
Other states also are working on the interstate, and Canada and Mexico are improving roadway infrastructure to handle additional trade traffic created by NAFTA. "
Just a hunch, but I wonder how much of building this railroad has required use of the recent SCOTUS passing of emminent domain? Would one have anything to do with the other?
Check this out and then the links to the rosters.....(and we wonder why companies like TYSON have never been prosecuted for hiring illegals)...

Cracks in The Wall of Independence
June 17, 2006 10:29 AM EST
As I said in a recent column, the surrender of America's independence and national sovereignty is the most serious threat we face today. Virtually every issue that patriotic citizens feel is important is significantly impacted by this single concern.
The loss of our independence will mean the loss of virtually every liberty enumerated in our Declaration of Independence and protected by our Constitution and Bill of Rights. There will be no right to life, no right to privacy, and no religious liberty when America loses this fundamental vanguard of national autonomy.
Therefore, the protection of our nation's independence should be a top priority of all true Americans, especially those who call themselves Christians! However, it seems that many of us are asleep at the wheel when it comes to this issue.
Many pro-lifers, pro-family groups, and outspoken conservative Christians are blind, mute, and dumb regarding the loss of our nation's independence and the merger of our country into a global New World Order (George Herbert Walker Bush's term)! Why is this? Are they really that naive, or do they deliberately choose to look the other way?
I personally believe that many of our conservative Christian leaders have become so entangled in GOP politics that they are willingly ignorant of anything that might put them at odds with the Republican establishment. They turn a blind eye for personal benefit.
Regardless of the motive, America is quickly losing its independence, because not enough conservative and Christian leaders are making an effort to stop it! And make no mistake about it, Republicans are every bit as culpable as Democrats in surrendering our national sovereignty!
Accordingly, let me list the issues that directly relate to America's loss of nationhood with the hope that each of us will recognize them to be as important as they truly are.
*President Bush's Current Attempt to Merge the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Jerome Corsi is doing yeoman's work in his attempts to alert the American people to this travesty. If only our national Christian leaders would do the same! (See his latest column on this subject at www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=50618)
As noted in the above-mentioned column, President Bush has already secretly committed the United States to a trilateral regional government with Mexico and Canada. This is being accomplished with the aid and encouragement of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
I have in my possession a copy of a document that was produced in May 2005 by the CFR entitled, "Building a North American Community." (See it at: (www.cfr.org/content/publications/attachments/NorthAmerica_TF_final.pdf) This document lays out the goals and objectives of globalists for creating a North American Union (NAU). These goals include the virtual erasure of our national border and the creation of a "perimeter" around the three countries, the free and unrestricted flow of people and goods between the three countries, and a mutual police and military security fence protecting the three countries. In other words, the merger of the U.S., Mexico, and Canada into one governmental body!
The seed for the NAU was planted by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and (then) Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin back in March 2005 when they created a trilateral commitment to regional government by signing a document known as the "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" (SPP). (View it online at: spp.gov) Remember that this was done without any oversight, or even knowledge, of any legislative body of our government.
*Illegal Immigration
President Bush's demand for a "guest worker" (translated: amnesty) program stems from his commitment to the SPP agreement referenced above. If America is to be merged into a regional government, it must lose its cultural, economic, religious, and yes, even racial distinctiveness. Massive Mexican immigration to the United States accomplishes all of this and more.
Please know, too, that my web site contains what is arguably one of the most complete compilations of illegal immigration information on the Internet. Check it out at www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/immigration.html
*The Patriot Act
There are not enough words to describe the dangers and problems associated with this Draconian piece of legislation! In a nutshell, the USA Patriot Act eviscerates many, if not most, of the guaranteed liberties codified in the Bill of Rights. It is no hyperbole to say that the Patriot Act could have been written by leaders of Germany's Third Reich. In fact, many of the elements of the Patriot Act are eerily similar to the old German regime. Obviously, freedom and independence cannot survive a police state, and that is exactly what the USA Patriot Act paves the way for!
Again, my web site contains copious information regarding the Patriot Act, including my attorney-son's legal thesis of the Act (www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/TimBaldwin.htm) and my radio interview with former congressman Bob Barr (www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/Interview_Barr.html).
We have also compiled a "ton" of insightful articles and compelling data explaining the dangers of the USA Patriot Act. See it at www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/patriotact.html
*Gun Control
America is the last major power in the world that holds to the doctrine of private ownership and possession of firearms. Without a doubt, the private possession of firearms is the main reason (humanly speaking) that America has been able to maintain a semblance of freedom for these two hundred-plus years! Any attempt to restrict the right of the citizenry to keep and bear arms must be viewed as tyrannical and vehemently resisted! Nothing serves the interests of globalism and harms the interests of independence more than gun control!
While I appreciate the efforts of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and am, myself, an Annual Member, the organization that is doing the best job defending our Second Amendment freedoms is Gun Owners of America (GOA). Under the able leadership of Larry Pratt, GOA is the most consistent and courageous defender of the right to keep and bear arms that I know of. I am proud to be a Life Member and urge all my readers to also join this fine organization. (See them on the web at www.gunowners.org/)
*Encroachment Upon Private Property Rights
Private ownership of property by the common man is a bane for globalists! If individuals are to be herded into regional communities, private ownership must be severely restricted. America's historic "castle" doctrine is another formidable obstacle to the dream of national interdependence. Attempts to reduce and even abolish private property have been ongoing for years. Therefore, Americans should vigorously oppose any and all attempts by governmental or even international entities to trample private property rights!
The leading organization for private property rights is the American Policy Center (APC), which is led by Tom DeWeese. (See them online at www.americanpolicy.org/)
*Adulterating The English Language
At no time in America's history did immigrants not understand that part of their assimilation into American society was the obligation to learn the English language-until now, that is. That Americans are now expected to underwrite the usage of foreign languages inside our own country and that foreigners have come to expect and even demand that America accommodate their languages is not only insulting to our people and heritage, it portends a serious threat to the national well being of our posterity!
*Mandatory Multiculturalism
America has its roots in Protestant Christianity! That fact is indisputable! That is not to so say that all of America's founders were born-again believers. Some were not. However, all of them, even Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, held the Christian faith to be superior to all other faith systems and understood that America was a distinctively Christian nation. In fact, Biblical law and principle form the cornerstone of our entire system of law and government! America can never lose its liberty and independence as long as it maintains an allegiance to Christian ideology. One does not have to be a practicing Christian to appreciate the primacy and importance of America's deeply rooted Christian heritage.
The current preoccupation with multiculturalism is anathema to America's future independence. While it is true that people of all faiths are afforded freedom and asylum here, America cannot lose its distinctively Christian faith system without sacrificing its very existence!
As stated earlier, both major parties are equally to blame for the erosion of our national sovereignty. With only few exceptions, Republicans and Democrats alike are facilitating America's demise.
Thankfully, the American people do have alternatives. There will be several independent candidates running for state and federal offices this year. I urge my readers to examine these candidates and support those that will stand for constitutional government and independence.
Leading the charge is the Constitution Party (CP). They will field scores, if not hundreds, of candidates this fall, and I predict that 2006 will be a banner year for them. I expect CP candidates to do very well in November.
The Constitution Party is the one national party that boasts a platform that is absolutely committed to the preservation of constitutional government and to national sovereignty. Please take a close look at the party and see if they will have any candidates in your state or community this fall. They are located online at www.constitutionparty.com/
Independence and national sovereignty form the brick and mortar in the wall that (under God) protects the liberties and future of the American people. The abovementioned issues form the cracks, which, if allowed to grow, will most certainly collapse the great wall of independence that keeps America free. We cannot allow this to happen!

Haverty said an initial $300 million development phase for Lazaro Cardenas planned with Wal-Mart and Hutchison participation, with more investment seen possible, has "the potential to transform our company."
In Hong Kong, Hutchison spokesman Anthony Tam said the company did not wish to disclose plans for Lazaro Cardenas.
But Haverty said most of the $200 million Kansas City Southern has earmarked for investment in Mexico in 2006-2007 will be for track from Lazaro Cardenas.
I found this comment on the forum you linked interesting:
For example, in a recent NORAD agreement that's posted on the US Embassy to Canada's website, Canada and the US have already agreed to develop shared foreign policies - not integrated, not separated but similar, but jointly developed. They've also agreed to combine military and civil (police) databases into a single integrated system. This process is in full gear, yet receives minimal or no media attention.
The reason that they're establishing the foundation prior to establishing the actual Union is simple. There's still enough Americans left who understand that the liberties and freedoms promised by the US Constitution will no longer be gaurunteed if we abandon it for a regional political system.
There are also enough of us who recognize the fact that this corporated driven exploit has nothing to do with government goodwill or the benign eventuality of a global economy. That ideology is part of the media campaign dedicted to subtly transform popular belief to move away from country and into the globe, with the focus on economy. It's a distraction that minimizes historic beliefs in self-government and self-determination, substituting them for a belief in increased bottom lines, even when that increase doesn't reach personal bank accounts.
The North American Union will take place, but not until those who stand strongly opposed to this unconstitutional and treasonous activity have been identified as criminals and/or terrorists and a significant amount of blood has been shed in an attemp to protect the rights of those who won't let our Constitutions be shredded by the globalists
