"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.

Trans-Texas Corridor PING!

It's just a road. Run it up to about 2 miles from the border then sidetrack it onto an existing highway that does go to Mexico.

That ought to give you as much security as we have now if not more, and certainly no Mexicans will be driving vehicles directly onto that road from Mexico.

In the meantime I suggest that all the funding that would otherwise be made available to Texas to build this monstrosity be transferred to Indiana for the completion of I-69. By diverting the money from Texas then the evil Mexicans will not get their hands on it Fur Shur.

The merits of the project aside, my objection is the anti-democratic nature of having something that affects the country so much not being the subject of congressional oversight, or even free and open discussion of the plans, goals, and participants in the plan. No matter what the project, we the people should have government in the sunshine, with a chance to see what it is we are paying for, and what will affect our lives.

We can afford to build these roads but can't afford to build a fence on our borders. Go figure!
