After we build the continuous Gulf-of-Mexico to Pacific border fence with Mexico, it would then be a piece of cake to build TWO more fences, one a bit to the east of the Northbound lanes, and one a bit to the west of the Southbound lanes. Its just another couple of thousand miles of fence, no?
...with border patrols at every exit.
Indiana is doing its part. Selling the I80-I90 toll road. The port to fort project, involving building a 4 lane US24 between Fort Wayne IN and Toledo OH. The idea of extending I69 farther south with a toll road around Naptowne. Those illegals can get through the state quickly and be on their way to Detroit and points north and east with rapid progress.
That would be to keep one group of people from running across the highway and getting run over?
LMAO! So, then the critics are correct--the superhighway IS a threat to national sovereignty? Because the black helicopters damned sure weren't myths.
There are fringe lunatics, but this guy should look in the mirror to find one.
We can't build a border fence/security zone but some want to build a 1/4 mile wide, fenced secured and patrolled concrete and asphalt corridor that divides the country in two.
Our leadership's priorities are screwed up and detrimental to the security of this country.
"I don't understand why the federal government isn't getting public input on this,"
Because we have elections and don't micromanage policy. If we did, the borders would be secure.
Why is everything always blamed on the fringe lunatics, why don't the mainstream lunatics have to answer for their foolishness?
It's far worse than anybody suspects.
I've heard rumors they're planning not just one road, but a thing called "The Interstate Highway System" that's supposed to be ALL OVER the country. Apparently this attack on our sovereignty dates all the way back to the *Eisenhower* administration. I'm shocked-- shocked! that even a war hero like him could imagine such a dastardly thing.

The general subject is transportation, yes? How many millions of people fly in commercial jets per year? How much traffic moves every day? How much marine traffic every month? It's a BUSY world.
Instead of arguing over a relatively small transport corridor, why not think BIG, like a world wide mag-lev train network? Big jets can carry only limited payloads and the energy cost per mile per pound is HIGH. Steel wheels on rails are much cheaper than rubber tires on pavement, and ships are cheaper still.
A mag-lev train has virtually no loss in lift and EM drag REDUCES with increasing velocity(the sheath effect). A mag-lev train can be MILES long vs the short jumbo jet. As they can travel at up to 300+mph they HAVE to be on raised pylons, like monorails.
Bullet trains have long been in operation in france and japan, and the europeans have an extensive railroad network that runs like clockwork. And yet out own amtrak is slowly going out of business. If there ever was a time to consider mag-lev trains as the future of ground transportation, now is the moment. Why not a mag-lev RR line from tierra del fuego to point barrow, to the chunnel? THINK BIG!
Black helicopter/tin foil hat alert!
