I would rather see this huge amount of money spent on a BORDER FENCE. We don't need no stinkin' road to Mexico.

Yes Ma'am! I say, build the fence, make it electric, and man it with gattlin guns.

"Stimulate and accelerate cross-border technology trade by preventing unnecessary barriers from being erected (e.g., agree on mutual recognition of technical requirements for telecommunications equipment, tests and certification; adopt a framework of common principles for e-commerce)."

The above quote is from the White House website. It seems to be a clear statement of the current Administration's intent on border issues.

You are correct that one wouldn't be needed if'n you and everyone else would stop buying the products [food, electronics, appliances, computers, toys, clothes, etc. etc,] that cross the border daily. If the merchants can't sell the wares to you then the highway traffic from the south will be reduced and the current roadways can take care of the transportation needs for a while longer. Maybe you could be the lead catalyst in getting the 'don't buy' group up and running. Reckon?

I agree that we need a strong fence (like the Minuteman design, not just some bollards), but that is a separate project that can be done concurrently with the TTC-35.

Since the first section of the TTC to open will be from San Antonio to Dallas in 2015, and there are no plans to build the Laredo-San Antonio portion until after 2025, why do so many call it a road to Mexico that is just about smuggling in illegal aliens and terrorists? If it isn't going to Mexico, how is it a road to Mexico? Can you at least support this road from San Antonio-Dallas?
