Imaginary border = imaginary country = imaginary sovereignty = imaginary Constitutional law = real traitors within our government. Please excuse me if I sound too negative but the perceived reality here is a grand plan folks, a NEW WORLD ORDER at our door step. What the power elite want the power elite usually get because we the common people of the US continue to just verbalize our discontent as we watch it happen. I'm not being haughty, I'm just very sad that the United States once was a wonderful dream that many have sacrificed and died to keep it a reality.
I'm glad your keeping the powder dry..
If this behemoth is ever constructed, it would be far better for the US if it was done in tandem with two other massive engineering projects:
Re-creating our national rail and airport systems OUT of municipal areas, connected to them by high speed cargo and passenger rail. Then upgrading our national rail infrastructure to high speed, that while connecting with major cities, would bypass them for transshipment.
Great Idea! That's too common sense for the Gov't though.
" the 1,200 ft wide road would consume one million acres in Texas alone. Construction could take up to 50 years. "
And this is what Ron Paul thinks is a viable alternative? The North American Union? I can see it now...we'll have to change the flag...and the national anthem...
WTF? These people are selling our country out from under us!
Sounds like Jorge Bush has been at it again. If the stakes weren't so high, this would really be laughable. It doesn't matter who you vote for anymore, both of these political parties are nothing more than traitors. One sells you out for votes, the other for money. You figure out which is which, because it really doesn't matter.

'Jose, can you see . . . '
It's not even that they want to do away with the border, it's that we have a defacto "one-way" border that only poor mestizicans can afford to ignore. Ask a white middle-class mexican how easy it is to come to the United States.
National initiative to tackle highway, freight, and aviation congestion
The flag doesn't look right yet, but you nailed the anthem!
"And this is what Ron Paul thinks is a viable alternative? The North American Union?"
No, Ron Paul is opposed to it. He's one of the very few who have said a thing about it.
" But it set alarm bells ringing on the Right because it formed working parties that fall outside the control of Congress. "
Thank you for correcting me. I speedread right past the 'alarm bells' sentence and I'm obviously not in Paul's district so I've not been familiar with him.
Tell 'em, "Watch the mail for your Kelo notices."
20-mph. Road will be limited to electric cars.... Just watch. Go 1-mph over the limit, you will get all kinds of traffic tickets.
It's going to be a privately financed toll road. Noncommercial traffic won't be allowed, as far as I know.
You two may appreciate this article about property rights/trade.

Why do I have a funny feeling the U.S. taxpayers will be paying for it?
We obviously need to oppose the elimination of customs at the border. If we don't inspect vehicles until they are in the middle of the country, the highway effectively becomes an extension of the border.
I also see no need for a high speed railway bisecting the US, and find it pretty doubtful that much of congress is going to vote for a high speed rail that will take you to Fargo.
The highway that is proposed in this article is something I would definitely be against, but I'm extremely skeptical that this article really represents a genuine credible proposal.
Maybe we should close down interstate 10 because of the drug trafficking? Or I95 because of the mob hauling cigarettes back and forth? Or we could close a couple of east/west rail lines because - well just because.
I've got an idea - ban guns because by your reasoning they cause crime. The roads themselves are not the problem. The problem is who pays for them, if they are private toll roads then tolls need to be paid, and there should be no public monies funding their construction. If they are public roads then taxes (my monies) will cover it. The illegal immigration argument can cover any area you want to paint it with.
