What we will see, if this Immigration Superhighway is built, is the same side effect that accompanied much of the Interstate Highway construction in the last century, i.e., many MANY businesses are going to go belly up as commercial traffic is diverted from the existing routes to the BAAE (Big Amigo/Auvoir Expressway).

Oh why yes that evil globalist and athiest's Eisenhower's Interstate system.

The system no American ever uses.

Do you actually read what you post, mk.

The NAFTA SuperHighway is a toll road, not a freeway.

The NAFTA SuperHighway will be operated by a multinational consortium. Portions of the NAFTA SuperHighway will take existing highways which we have already paid for, and transfer them to the multinational consortium for profit.

The only businesses on the highway's right-of-way will be those approved by the consortium, i.e. no Mom-&-Pop restaurants.

Private property in Texas has already been taken by "emminent domain" for transfer to the private parties who will build that portion of the highway to produce their profit. It's a land grab.

Eisenhower's Interstate System is paid for and, with the exception of maintenance funding, is free to use.

Do you mean it wasn't built so the Soviets could easily take over the US? WOW! And I believed those anti-interstate people and have (due to principle) been driving on horrid little two lane highways, infested with an endless number of slow moving farm trucks and traffic lights, ever since... :)

I think I'll take a pass on all of the moonbat rantings this time.

I never said that Americans don't use the Interstate Highway System, so don't even try putting words in my mouth. I said that the system had a commerial impact upon the businesses that were bypassed as the System was expanded and completed. (The old U.S. 301 is a great example of this, let's see if you can figure out which Interstate put the businesses along that highway out to pasture?)

Now try to wrap your mind around this concept:

The U.S. Interstate Highway System, despite the financial costs to the business community DID enhance American economic AND national security due to the improved transport of cargo goods AND due to the potential of using the IHS for emergency SAC landing strips had we ended up in a shooting war with the Soviets.

But this proposed Immigration Superhighway is NOT going to improve our national or economic security because it will make it easier for illegals to enter and transit our Nation more efficiently, and the resources we're going to need to patrol and enforce the laws (hopefully U.S. laws) along this new hyper-slab are not available. Hell man, we can't even deploy sufficient forces to defend our southern border, you think we're going to rely on local and state police to maintain order on this international highway?

Who's going to pay for it?
