I’m antagonizing the idiots who think a road somehow destroys our sovereignty.

I am not surprised, there have always been short sighted naive people , that is how the government has gotten away with so much this far.

But hopefully the sleeping giants is now awake

Thanks for the admission.
Perhaps you ought to go back in time and take a look at incrementalism...a for instance...

NATIONAL HIGHWAY SYSTEM DESIGNATION ACT OF 1995 Public Law 104-59, 109 STAT. 588
SECTION 332. HIGH PRIORITY CORRIDORS
Amends several parts of Section 1105 of the ISTEA. In Section 1105(c), three of the existing high priority corridors are extended or described in more detail as to location as follows: The East-West Transamerica Corridor (number 3) is described from Virginia through southern Kansas. Segments of the “I-73/I-74" North-South Corridor (number 5) are detailed from South Carolina to Ohio. The Indianapolis/Houston Corridor (number 18) is extended to the Mexico border. Further, an additional eight corridors are added to the listing as follows: Alameda Transportation corridor, California; I-35 from Texas to Minnesota; Dalton Highway, Alaska; Virginia Route 168 south of Norfolk; CANAMEX corridor from Arizona to Montana; Camino Real corridor from Texas to Colorado; Birmingham northern Beltline in Alabama; and the Coalfields Expressway in West Virginia and Virginia.
An additional provision is added to Section 1105(e) designating certain portions of selected high priority corridors as future additions to the Interstate System. These are Corridor 9 in Pennsylvania and New York, the portions of Corridor 5 described above, Corridor 18 from Texas to Indiana, and Corridor 20 in Texas. When the Secretary determines that any segment of these corridors has been brought up to Interstate standards and connects to the Interstate System, it shall become part of the Interstate System. Corridor 9 is designated I-99.

And yes, these are only US highways, but the question is...where do they connect? Do they connect to Mexico and Canada?

A pretty thorough description...High Priority Corridors
Corridors 18 and 20 combine to form the Interstate 69 Corridor from Texas to Michigan. Corridor 18 refers to the entire Interstate 69 corridor from Laredo to Port Huron, including branches to Brownsville via U.S. 77 and 281, Interstate 530 extenstion from Pine Bluff to Monticello, Interstate 94 from Chicago to Port Huron, and the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. Corridor 20 is almost entirely absorbed by Corridor 18, as it is the Interstate 69 corridor from Laredo to Texarkana. The only part of Corridor 20 that may be separate from Corridor 18 would be in and around Texarkana, which might be overtaken by Corridor 1/Interstate 49.

This has all been a long road coming. Why do you refuse to see?
