This project is not meant to increase the mobility of Texans. It is part of the Nafta Super Highway to transport Chinese junk from Mexican ports to Kansas City where it will then be inspected by Mexican "Customs" Agents and then distributed throughout the country.
Just another step in the direction of the so-called North American Union. This will be an open sewer of illegal immigration and all sorts of smuggling. Our Soveriegnty is being eroded in front of our eyes while the Sheeple's attention is rivited on Proffesional Football and other Circuses.

The Kansas City facility is a port of entry to Mexico where goods from the US bound for Mexico can go trough customs. There are customs facilities like this all over the world. Several international airport have customs preclearance facilities that allow clearing of US customs before boarding so airplanes can fly to domestic US airports that lack customs facilities.

BnBlFlag I don't share your alarmist mercantilist views about trade. Sure the TTC improves the transport of goods. That's why it was designed with truck lanes separated from passenger vehicle lanes. That's also why there will be double tracked freight rail lines built parallel to the highway lanes. It will be possible to ship goods by rail through the state non-stop at 85 mph, because there will be no grade level crossings. It will probably upset you that the improved saftey will unemploy lots of trial lawyers who file multimillion dollar lawsuits every time 18 wheelers crash and maim or kill people driving cars. You'll also miss the insurance company payouts when rail roads no longer have trains traveling on tracks with grade level crossings.

There are two types Texas toll road threads at FR.

Those like this one have been going on for several years and many different issues are cussed and discussed.

More recently, the second type of thread has begun to show up and it is based on the concept that these Texas toll roads are part of the conspiracy to destroy America.

We try to keep these two types of threads separate. Otherwise, everyone is talking about different things.

I bet you a $25 donation to the fund raiser that you can't find proof that the Mexican Customs office in KC will be inspecting imports into the US. I don't think that is the job of the Mexican customs but rather it's the job of the US customs. Now the Mexican Customs in KC will be inspecting items leaving [being exported] from the US into Mexico. That will be their job, don'tcha see.

Misinformation doesn't help your cause......

While the SPP working groups on transportation is considering multimodal corridors, there is no real evidence that the TTC is part of a NAFTA superhighway that will be built through the midwest. And the Mexican customs office in Kansas City will only be handling shipments leaving the U.S. for Mexico.
