LOL, not at all absurd, that is the current plan! please point out where I mischaracterized any of it.

(1) The Texas portion will be build in Texas ergo, Texas land will be (lawfully) taken. (2) The (toll) highway will be build by Spanish developers and will belong to them (in fact, not in name) for 75 years. (3) The purpose of the highway is to enable Chinese shippers to avoid US ports and use Mexican ports instead.

So my characterization is hardly absurd, not entirely accurate perhaps, maybe only 80% accurate. But I had to sum it all up in a couple of sentences.

Neither Texas, nor its citizens are giving-up their interest in the land. In fact, not only is their interest in the the land legally-protected, it is inviolable. As for Chinese shippers using the Mexican port in order to avoid U.S. ports, the same can be said of U.S. shippers. (Did you know that Texas is the largest exporter in the Union??

In any case, you should re-consider your position based on the following: you oppose the road because it will be built without your money, and you won't have to pay for it unless you use it. Unless you argue that the road is not needed at all, the counter-argument is that the road should be built with your money, and you should pay for it even if you do not use it.
