Wonder what else Fox won (demanded) at the meeting?
Mr Corsi continues his extremely well researched series of articles on the death of American sovereignty and constitutional government.
I wonder how much real estate Fox has purchased in Baja pending the construction of the port there. I wonder how much real estate our elected officials have bought down there?
FYI
I have a friend that works for Boeing, and spends a lot of time in SE Asia, Asia and in Africa. At $.10 an hour those goods manufactured overseas, still seem to cost about the same amount in the US as if they were being built in country. The prices are being set by whatever the area can support. A radio that costs $99 in America, will sell for $19 in Africa. The same holds true for many products. Since business does not like to lose money, I wonder what model they use to set pricing? Are first world consumers subsidizing the cost of products to the third world?
Trebuilt I-35 NAFTA super-corridor highway all the way from Laredo, Texas, to...
Good to know Laredo's the gateway. Jeez.
It sounds to me like our country doesn't want its own citizens to get decent wages and is doing everything it can to bypass them. Who's looking out for the average working U.S. Citizen?
Mostly sounds like a free market finding the lowest cost way to deliver goods to consumers. That benefits nearly everyone except union bosses.
Do you realize the maps have already been changed? Speaking with friends, I mentioned that Mexico was always part of "Latin America" or "Central America" as I remembered geography growing up. They disagreed, saying it was always part of North America.
I explained I tried computer searches and all maps showed the "new" North America; USA, Canada and Mexico. I commented that I wish I had not thrown out a set of really old encyclopedias. Sure enough, one of them had a set copyrighted in 1959.
Guess what? Not only did the old maps CLEARLY show Mexico as part of "Latin/Central America" it listed each country in the narrative. Does anyone know when the maps changed?
Is this what you are looking for?

Central American Federation
Central American Federation or Central American Union,political confederation (1825–38) of the republics of Central America—Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Salvador. United under a captaincy general in Spanish colonial times, they gained independence in 1821 and were briefly annexed to the Mexican empire formed by Agustín de Iturbide. The nations joined in a loose federal state, appointing (1825–29) as first president Manuel José Arce, who was succeeded (1830–38) by the liberal leader Francisco Morazán. Political and personal rivalries between liberals and conservatives, poor communication, and the fear of the hegemony of one state over another led to dissolution (1838) of the congress and the defeat (1839) of Morazán's forces by Rafael Carrera. In 1842, Morazán made an abortive attempt to reestablish the federation from Costa Rica. Later efforts by Nicaragua, Honduras, and Salvador failed, and the attempts of Justo Rufino Barrios (1885) and José Santos Zelaya (1895) only increased existing enmities. At the Central American conference of 1922–23, the U.S. recommendation of a union was not favorably received, partly because of earlier U.S. policies in Panama and Nicaragua. Nevertheless, geography, history, and practical expedience are factors that constantly encourage union. In 1951, the Organization of Central American States was formed to help solve common problems, and in 1960 the five nations established the Central American Common Market.

Heck I see different pricing between Wal-Marts all located within the same city. Not a big price variance mind you, but I've seen it enough to recognize that Wal-Marts located in lesser affluent urban areas have lower prices on some (not all) items, than another located in a new affluent area. (BTW, I'm not a Wal-Mart basher. I'm a heavy financial supporter of them.)...... ;-)
You are not even close...This affects everyone...When I (we) can no longer afford your services what ever they may be, you will be less valuable...
And what's the next step???We can't have this wide open system with three monetary structures in place...There will have to be one...
This is not about a few thousand union workers...
Indeed, this seems to be a big part of the seamy-underside of the whole agenda. It underpins a lot.
Of course, when the dollar collapses, Americans will be paying attention...and the people who made the collapse happen will not be popular with the electorate. And I fear they may have permanently scarred the Republican party reputation because of the doctrinnaire idealogues in the White House and RNC.
Mostly sounds like Wall Street big business trying to utterly Destroy Main Street. Class war, Wall Street style. Political insanity. Tone Deaf does not begin to describe anyone who subcribes to this treason.
We need to restore the reasons to be United as a Country, not Divided. United We Stand, Divided we Fall.
This attack by Wall Street megaliths upon the U.S. Main Street is precisely one of the "sectional" kinds of Divisiveness George Washington feared.
