Kansas City is now the Mexico/US border. Thanks, Jorge.
” “containers nonstop from the Far East by way of Mexico,” through “a ships-to-rail terminal at the port of Lazaro Cardenas in Mexico,” then up “the evolving trade corridor” to Kansas City, Missouri, where they would have their first inspection.
A Kansas City SmartPort brochure explains further: “Kansas City offers the opportunity for sealed cargo containers to travel to Mexican port cities with virtually no border delays.””
A new way for China to bomb the U.S. ‘What’s that ticking I hear, Miguel?”

North American Union.
An extension of the notorious Trans-Texas Corridor. Will this thing ever go away?
Welcome to Free Republic :)
I was watching CNN, and employers are practically dancing in the street over H1-B visas. Can't remember the exact amount, but someone with the same skills as an American/legal resident is quite a bit lower.
Now what does Uncle Sam plan on doing with all these displaced workers?
In all honesty who cares where Mexico decides to inspect cargo incoming to their Country?...... That is the purpose of the Mexican Customs in KC is to inspect cargo entering Mexico from the US. If inspected in KC then it doesn’t have to stop and wait customs clearance at the border...

No wonder, when a longshoreman earns $140k!
The *Powers that be* realize the opposition to the TTC and will use the influx of 1000s of nasty Mexican trucks to *persuade* people otherwise.
If you can’t beat them, beat them some more.
Our nation is being run by corrupt people who don’t care what we think.
I think it might be impossible to save America Inc. from being irreversibly damaged.
“I was watching CNN, and employers are practically dancing in the street over H1-B visas. “
Did they raise the caps on H1-Bs?
My tagline says it all.
This is why we NEED Duncan Hunter as President. These little deals will kill us all in the long term. He is the only candidate that sees the problem with unfair trade with China and giving Mexico the keys to the kingdom. He wants to keep American jobs here.

Are you serious?
This proposed customs house will only inspect cargo leaving the US and entering Mexico. Not the reverse of leaving Mexico and entering the US. Or that is what I’ve read thus I don’t really care if Mexico decides to clear it in KC, San Antonio, Alberta, NY, etc. It’s their problem.
JMO and yours may differ.
140k? Yikes!
Well the amount so far is 30,000 visas. They are trying to push for more. Bill Gates was shown at a hearing. I used to have some respect for him.
I’m glad the neo-con’s came along, it was sooo boring living in a sovereign nation without a global economy./sarc.
