Along with the Mexican trucker pilot program, seems to me the majority of goods brought into the U.S. would begin being trucked in from Mexico.

Overseas goods on cargo ships would be diverted to Mexican ports then loaded onto Mexican trucks and carried across the border into the U.S. via these “new superhighways”.

Circumventing higher cost of American merchant mariners, dock worker, truckers. This is the globalist plan.

I truly believe this. When you back away from the picture, your able to see all the puzzle pieces coming together.

Keep the border open for cheaper labor, Nafta, Cafta, Trans-Texas corridor, Mexican trucks carrying goods deep into America to name a few.

Wake up Americans!

But how?
Well, there's this thing called an a-t-l-a-s. You go to the bookstore and you buy one. That takes m-o-n-e-y.
Then once you've bought your atlas you sit down and trace out a route. I recommend a pencil rather than crayons.
So which highway do you take to Churchill?

I think this is the passage that is driving the argument:

The argument about why a wide road is scarier than a narrow road?

He’ll try diversion and childish retorts at every instance.

Why did you avoid my question?

The answer to your question is yes. If Mexican trucking firms paid the same wages as American trucking firms, had the same safety inspections and licensing, and paid the same fuel costs as American truckers, I'd have no problem with letting them on our highways.

But if they paid lower wages and bought cheaper fuel they'd be a problem. That doesn't make any sense.

Pretty much, and possibly the other stuff as well. The author claims that the TTC will stretch all the way to Canada, and it starts to sound like a Jerome Corsi piece.

Is a 6 lane road okay but a 10 lane road is too scary to allow?

I don't know out of what orifice the Canada part was pulled.
See #83...
The Central North American Trade Corridor extends from Alaska and the Port of Churchill in Canada through the Canadian provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, then through North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma panhandle, and Texas in the USA and south to Mexico City.

Makes plenty of sense. American truckers can’t compete with slave waged, poorly licensed truckers who have access to $1.94 per gallon fuel.

See #73/74. I keep hearing something, but it’s just a squeak.

So we need to pay higher prices, because Mexicans earn less?

truckers who have access to $1.94 per gallon fuel.

Charge a big fat toll. Would that make you feel better?
