Official Mexican government reports reveal Mexico has entered discussions with the state of Texas and top officials in the Bush administration to extend the Trans-Texas Corridor into Mexico, with a plan to connect through Monterrey to the deep-water Mexican ports on the Pacific, including Manzanillo and Lazaro Cardenas.
The official website of the Mexican northeastern state of Nuevo León contain multiple reports that José Natividad Gonzáles Parás, governor of the Mexican state of Nuevo León, has actively discussed with numerous U.S. government officials, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the extension of the Trans-Texas Corridor into Mexico to create what's called a "Trans North America Corridor."

In an August trip to Mexico, Perry made news in U.S. media by calling the idea of building a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border "idiocy."
Largely unreported in the American press were meetings Perry held in Mexico with Gonzáles Parás in which the two discussed extending the corridor into Mexico.
In their private meetings, the pair thoroughly discussed extending TTC-35 into Mexico, according to a report on the government's site.

... and this extention of the corridor into Mexico will be financed how? Will the USA be required to pay for this?
That’s so more poisoned/dangerous Chinese products can come through the Mexican ports to a store near you, accompanied by drug cartel imports and illegal aliens, of course. Thank you, US government.
That is because they use the words, "super corridor."
According to Dobbs report on information from Judicial Watch, obtained only through FOIA, it appears so...
Through the Freedom of Information Act, Judicial Watch recently obtained a 10-page document, "a financial work plan that describes how U.S. taxpayers would fund grants to Mexico. The work plan states:
'...the establishment of a grant fund for development with U.S. and Canadian resources to finance the development of physical infrastructure in Mexico.' Canadian funds would also be committed to the project. Judicial Watch is calling for complete disclosure...."
Don’t matter what we want, even if we are the VAST majority.
Big business wants this and it will happen.
Screw you.
Thanx for the ping nic.
ahh yes - the gutting of America continues.
Nope. Not real. There are at least 3-4 posters right here on FR that will tell you so. Pipe dream, they say. With references to tinfoil. Just ask them.
I’ve got photos of Typhoon Class subs, I’ve got photos of Taliban funerals, but I’ve yet to see a photo of a purported 400 yard wide super highway cutting through the south west. This is Black Helicopter material.
Only about 20% of Texans think that a fence will be effective.
If you think a fence is effective, build one around your state. You don't need to worry about how this might affect your onion exports, you still have an abundant supply of crackers to export.
I guess opinion polls should guide whether or not we build a fence. While were at it, lets put out the welcome mat.
PS: I’ve been to Texas quite a few times (Houston, Dallas/FW). You might look closer to home before throwing the word “cracker” around. Your state has more than its share of rednecks.
That it does...it most certainly does.
You are absolutely correct. There indeed are several planned; and included within those plans are rails, between them:
