The purpose of the TransTexas corridor is to secure the supply chain, from a former 'trading partner', now supplier, China. Secure supply chains require corporate ownership of the system, in that, they can scrutinize every user of the chain, and control who can access it. This concept is alien to the American system where roads are paid for by everyone and used by everyone to facilitate free movement of individuals and goods. The supply chain trade corridor highways will facilitate movement of goods, but restrict movement of people, but because they use state powers for eminent domain and state funds to purchase the land, these roads are paid for by everyone but used by few.

Scheme’s ringleader betrays Wal-Mart

By Peter Shinkle

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

A local businessman masterminded a scheme in the late 1990s to bring illegal immigrants to clean floors at Wal-Mart stores across the country.

Wal-Mart paid at least $82.2 million over three years to shell companies set up by businessman Christopher Walters, federal agents discovered. Walters' companies in turn paid subcontractors who hired illegal immigrants from countries stretching from Poland to Mongolia.

When investigators dug into the scheme, Walters cut a deal and became a star cooperating witness in a criminal probe targeting Wal-Mart. He told investigators that a Wal-Mart executive told him to set up the shell companies, and he recorded conversations with scores of Wal-Mart employees.

"Walters created these dummy corporations, but he did so at the direction of Wal-Mart," said Jeff Demerath, Walters' attorney.
