To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
What an incredibly stupid plan! Import through Mexico, expedite to Kansas City, and then ship back to Texas?!
Why not have the so-called "smart port" in Texas in the first place?

If you look at the map, freight can be offloaded in Texas.
The ports are in Mexico for several reasons: 1)Texas does not border the Pacific. 2) It is a lot more easy to build in Mexico than Texas. 3) It bypasses the unions. 4) It provides jobs for Mexicans. 5)It probably takes less time to ship from China to Mexico by ship, offload to trucks or trains, and ship to Texas, than go through the Panama Canal and offload in Texas.
