We're on the same page -- see my last post here.
Pardon my French, but HOW IN THE HELL does one prove that they are a child of an "undocumented immigrant"?
Yes. In Texas, it is being built by a private company, and will charge tolls. No one has to drive on it if they don't want to, as it will relieve congestion on I-35, which will still be maintained by Texas with federal highway money.
but this is one more move to bypass the unions by bringing cheap Chinese goods into the new port, they are building in Baja, and truck into middle America... by Mexican truckers vs. American Truckers...
As I understand it, American trucks will be able to go to Baja as well and pick up cargo. And Mexican trucks will have to have the same safety equipment and be inspected at the border as American trucks are now.
Sinkspur it's dangerous to make assumptions and take everything at just face value. We keep doing that to the detriment of our middle class and without a middle class this country is no better than Mexico.
Interesting that the Supremes made their imminent domain ruling around the same time this monstrosity of a highway came to light... because a whole lot of Texas ranches will meet their demise for this highway.
And you really expect that to happen and expect us to believe it will? How many Americans are going to lose their jobs over these Mexican rustbuckets that will come in and undercut them, or do you care? It's all about globalism and cheap labor isn't it and the heck with everything else. The Chris Cannon philosophy rules. Somehow I don't think that's what the Founders of this country had in mind for their posterity, do you?
They have said for several years the MExican trucks have to be inspected, yet all the trucks coming up into Arizona to deliver goods have brought with them a lot of fatal accidents due to poor equipment -- along with a whole lot of drugs.
You just have to trust them. Questioning could be considered hate speech.
What a biased poll question! The law states they would pay the same in-state tuition as any other Utahn.
I understand in state residents pay less than an out of state student would, but what a way to ask the question... to 625 Utahns!
That's all to be swept under the rug. It's the small price to be paid according to them for higher profits and stock dividends.
You're right.
I assume that the question is speaking in terms of the rate being discounted when compared to the out-of-state resident tuition rate. (Actually the in-state rate would be the base rate, and the higher out-of-state rate would be inflated off of it).
It may be a stupid question, but there aren't 2 levels of in-state tuition are there?
One for most residents and another for "special situations" as determined by some liberal quota. Since it's Utah, I'm going to assume that's not the case.
Our truckers will use the TransTexas Corridor as well, won't they? There will be more traffic, with rail alongside. I think it's smart to build many lanes. Cheaper to do it now than later.

Yeah. Let's instead build up all kinds of goofy conspiracies around a straightforward trade concept. Or, rather, let's let Jerome Corsi do it so we can all go out and buy his book and make him rich.
They will be handsomely rewarded by a private company.
Chris Cannon sued his own brother Joe Cannon, who is chairman of the State GOP, when he wanted to get out of Geneva Steel (the family owned business.)
It is my understanding he took over $60,000,000 out of the company and effectively put it into bankruptcy. He has since spent almost every last dime.
I also have been told that both Cannons dipped their fingers into the employee pension fund and left employees with nothing.
The only thing you will believe, apparently, is some wild tinfoil idea spun by a free lance writer with a lot of time on his hands.
How many Americans are going to lose their jobs over these Mexican rustbuckets that will come in and undercut them,
The Mexican trucks will not be hauling inter-US, but will only be able to haul loads across the border and to a port. (As I understand it). And the Mexican trucks will have to pass the same safety inspections as American trucks or they won't get in.
Since there are "a lot" of these fatal accidents, could you link to two or three of recent occurrence?
Nope, I've yet to make any comments anywhere on what Corsi has said. But when I see the borders not getting enforced or the laws being upheld and superhighways being built that links us with a third world basketcase, making it easier for them to import their drugs and illegal aliens then it becomes obvious that at least some of what he's saying is real and not tinfoil.
Nice people (not)...
We have most of these accidents in our area on the turn off from 93 through Laughlin due to having to bypass the Hoover Dam. It's a steeply-banked road and requires good breaks when carrying heavy loads and most of these accidents are due to faulty brakes/equipment. Our local papers and radio station report these accidents.
I hate to think what my ancestors -- who go back to Mayflower and 1700s on each side, would think of how they fought, and died, in the Revolution only to have our current leaders hand our country over without a whimper.. or what they would think of our citizens being complicit in this handover.
