Are you familiar with paragraphs?

And porous is too light of a word, the border is virtually nonexistent.

Ah, there we go. Now, please tell me why it would be such a bad thing to funnel truck traffic from Mexico through a single point in Laredo, Texas?

You see, it would make border control easier.

Or maybe you don't see. I don't think I should make assumptions in your case.

Why yes, I am. I use them when necessary. They weren't, in this instance.

It wouldn't be a bad thing to funnel truck traffic through a single point. You could monitor incoming vehicles much easier.
However, there are plans with more than one point of entry. You might want to take a look at the information in the NATIONAL HIGHWAY SYSTEM DESIGNATION ACT OF 1995 link in reply #155 as well.

You know what they say about assumptions...

This is true for the TTC-35 but, there is also a new road in W. Texas coming from Presidio. I-69 coming from the Valley and all other existing ports of entry. The completed TTC system will be more than 4000 miles of roadway. Want that in your state? BTW: if you think *border control* is part of this deal........forget it. Illegals swim across the river right under the International bridges.
