"The NAFTA Superhighway stops here, at the border with Oklahoma," Randy Brogdon, a Republican state senator who has championed the fight to keep the Trans-Texas Corridor out of Oklahoma, told a packed 300-person audience at the first public meeting of OK-SAFE in Tulsa on Saturday.
Oklahomans for Sovereignty and Free Enterprise, Inc. is a non-profit, Oklahoma corporation set up to oppose the NAFTA Superhighway and the North American Union, as threats to the sovereignty of the United States.
Brogdon objected to the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America www.spp.gov, arguing that President Bush had entered the agreement after secret discussions with Mexico's then-president Vicente Fox and Canada's then-prime minister Paul Martin in Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005.
"President Bush has proven that he is more than willing to over-step his executive authority when it came to trade policy," Brogdon told the group.
"Ariticle 1 Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution says, 'Congress shall have the Power to Regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States,' not the president," Brogdon pointed out. "Yet President Bush has entered into an agreement with Mexico and Canada called SPP that seeks to eliminate our trade and security borders and he has failed to get the explicit approval of Congress

Once complete, the new road will allow containers from the Far East to enter the United States through the Mexican port of Lazaro Cardenas, bypassing the Longshoremans Union in the process. The Mexican trucks, without the involvement of the Teamsters Union, will drive on what will be the nations most modern highway straight into the heart of America. The Mexican trucks will cross border in FAST lanes, checked only electronically by the new SENTRI system. The first customs stop will be a Mexican customs office in Kansas City, their new Smart Port complex, a facility being built for Mexico at a cost of $3 million to the U.S. taxpayers in Kansas City.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
You've seen my posts with the url's, you can read, but I now see that you have no intention of reading anything that will upset your world view.
Good luck with that!
I haven’t read this thread...who are you guys irritating today :)
Aw, who really cares anyway?
I mean; what difference does it make whether the goods are inspected in KC or wherever, or even if they are at all for that matter?
Why do you want to make such a big deal out of whether they are or are not inspected until KCMO anyway?
The goods that enter our country could come from anywhere, and go anywhere, and in the great scheme of things, it won't matter, so why do you insist on persuing the exact point of inspection?
I say it won't matter in the long run.
That is such a small part of it, especially compared to everything else.
I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill.
You believe that the imports will not be inspected by US Customs until KC? Why would US Customs inspect goods for the first time at a facility being built for Mexico? LOL!
Still waiting for you to post your proof, from their own website, so I can read it.
You made the claim. You were making the big deal. I just asked you to prove it. We can all see how well you've done that. LOL!
I say it won't matter in the long run.
Are you retracting your original claim?

Just some folks who cannot be bothered to back up their assertions. The usual. :)
When you get a handle on where this argument is shifting, let me know.
lol...tell todd to stop shootin’ if it’s dead (lol)
Gutierrez stresses the Kansas City customs port would process only U.S. exports headed out of this country, not imports or immigrants coming in. This hasn't kept media outlets such as CNN and Human Events Online from suggesting that goods from the Far East would move through Mexican ports and then on to Kansas City for their U.S. customs inspections.
Public confusion also stems from the city's long-range hope to add a second Mexican customs clearinghouse at the former Richards-Gebaur airfield to inspect outbound U.S. rail cargo headed to Mexico.
From your 4th link. Thanks. LOL!
I think we should keep on trying, don't you?
Perhaps there is something wrong with his computer.
Stop the presses!!! Kansas City will not be processing immigrants coming in! Hallelujah!
Toddster— Does this include illegal immigrants?
Keep trying to prove your assertion by posting info that refutes your assertion. It's funny.
They keep posting info that disproves their claim. I wonder if they ate lead paint as children?
