"One of the Japanese steel company executives described Arkansas as being the navel of NAFTA," Launius said, referring to the North American Free Trade Agreement.

I might call it something else, since Arkansas gave us Bill Clinton who enacted NAFTA in the first place.

FYI

[Paleo Conservative]

I think it’s some other orifice than the navel.

"Aeromexico and Mexicana, two of Mexico's largest airlines, are in discussions to fly in and out of Little Rock National Airport, said airport spokesman Philip Launius. The hope, Launius said, is that the airport would be the central hub for travel to Mexico from Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri and Tennessee."

How totally cool. Not only do we get poorly maintained Mexican trucks on our highways, but now we get their aircraft too.

NAFTA was a Done Deal by either Clinton or Bush 41.

[VeniVidiVici]

How do they fly with fake IDs?

I think Air Mexico uses DC-10's at least they did back in the 1970's, I remember seeing them as one of trhe featured prizes on "Let's Make a Deal" when I was a kid. When I think of this, I thought, "great, their planes are probably older than me." (I'll be 41 in July) B-P

Just a little dinero baksheesh my FRiend

It's so nice to know that illegal aliens will be able to fly instead of walking the Sonora Desert in their chain migrations.

"Louisiana Air-space Is Closed!!No-Fly Zone"GRRRRRRRRR!!

Stray dogs looking for more table scraps.

The world leaders see a hobo mark at Arkansas and like bums know a free meal awaits them there.

[CAWats]

Certainly not the mouth.

When I lived in El Paso, INS could easily pick out illegals at the airport because they could never get on the escalator.

I’m surprised the Mex and Arkansas officials did not opt for improvements at Mena. Mex pilots probably have that flight plan down pat. Grease one in blindfolded.

...and Texas gave us George Bush Sr., who would have passed NAFTA without any of Clinton’s requirements tagged on.

You're behind the times. Arkansas' orifices moved first to Dee Cee and then to New York years ago.

[Gondring]

Aeromexico flies Boeing 737-700 to Austin.

[Gondring]

In fact, every US route of theirs that I have checked is using 737-700s.
