Harris County Commissioners Court voted in early May to pull out of the I-69 Alliance because the portion of the highway that was to be I-69 has become part of the Trans-Texas Corridor and no longer would go through Harris County, said Kathy Luhn, policy director for the Harris County judge's office. Also, the toll road bill would take away Harris County's right to build its own toll road, which the court didn't agree with while the I-69 Alliance supported the bill, Luhn said. A story on Page A1 on Monday, May 28, said the court withdrew from the project because too much was spent on membership fees. Luhn said that was a secondary reason for withdrawing.

But hold on, even that increased volume wouldn't require this Super Highway. Aaaah, I've got it. The volume of goods will not be of Mexican manufacture but Chinese goods flooding the US & Canada and bypassing US ports and trucking industry resulting in the loss of tens of thousands jobs for our citizens!!!
The REAL purpose for this is to bypass US Ports and well paid personal and by pass American truckers ,
They are building a huge port in Mexico, not the US .
Our imports will have even fewer inspections and some of those trucks will be holding drugs in their belly with the imports.
Then there is the cost.
Recent Congress voted to allow tolls on federal Highways (formerly forbidden by law). That opens the door for a foreign country to “buy” the rights to that highway ( like China and the panama canal).
Lets give away some more American jobs, lets allow a country that boos Miss USA to inspect our imports for us, lets farm out a major highway to a foreign power.
This is a large part of the “North American Union”

this super corridor was cooking in the u.s. congress for the better part of two decades.
but our media failed to inform us of the details.
How is this supposed to fix illegal immigration and prevent terrorists coming to the US? Do they think these people will have to use this corridor?
