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.
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.
