I-69 signs will be in every dormitory room in the Republic of Texas.

Can you ship one to the state of Ohio?

Yeah, lol. The Ranchers and farmers are thrilled and still fighting to keep their land in one piece.

“This is a great Christmas gift for Cameron County,” he said.”

Hell yeah! The illegals, drugs and cheap Chinese crap will flow like HoneyDew wine.

There is a much easier solution: simply upgrade the existing 4-lane highway corridor (US-59/77) to a freeway with interchanges and service roads...

Anything 'easy' would be too mind boggling for the politicians, lol. They want that TOLLROAD.

This shows the original concept, I haven't checked recently to see how it is planned now but it will cut through people's property in some areas.

The traffic counts don’t even come close to warranting such. Also, NAFTA trade is not the main reason that traffic counts will increase (it is internal growth in and around the metropolitan areas), since a study showed that the I-35 section south of San Antonio to Laredo will still only need 4 lanes in 2025...coupled with a somewhat-upgraded (to traditional Interstate standard) US-59/77, that should be more than adequate. The urban areas require their own solutions.

I have to admit that I haven’t studied up on it recently but I believe it is all part of a plan for a highway starting down in Mexico and ending up in Canada.

Connecting ports that I believe have already been bought by the Chinese. Used to think it was a conspiracy theory but now I’m not so sure.
