NOOOOO! It is about the only decent highway left in Kalifornia!
The NAFTA super highway and Interstate 5 are vastly different. It’s not a question no one will answer.
NAFTA’s super highway will consist of a 400 yard wide expanse that will carry motor vehicle traffic plus rail traffic.
Commercial traffic will be able to travel from Mexico without inspection until it reaches custom facilities, currently being built in Kansas City, Missouri. A portion of those facilities are considered a part of Mexico.
The company that has been chosen to build the highway is a Spanish firm represented by Rudy Guillian’s law firm.
It will also be a toll road operated by the Spanish firm under a 99 year lease.
Maybe because the powers that be won’t give us straight answers, leading to all sorts of what you would call *conspiracy theories*.
Have you researched all the info put forth on this site regarding the SPP, NAU, NASCO, NWO etc.? Or, did you just dismiss these tidbits as the lunatic fringe?
Why do you think members of state, local and federal govs want answers and have presented bills to thwart funding for any such endeavors? Why are folks in Canada and for that matter, Mexico expressing concerns? One obvious pressing concern: Why are our borders wide open in the wake of 9-11?
Bottom line; it’s not simply disagreeing with proposed roadways. It's about getting to the bottom of unanswered questions and opening the doors to our future as a country. BTW: I'm glad you found happiness in the Great State of Texas.
Just what we need, a 20 lane superhighway from the most corrupt country on the planet straight up into America's heartland.
No doubt a subway or train from downtown Mexico City to Kansas will eventually be built right up the middle of this thing.
Texas and Kansas will eventually resemble Mucho Nastito Mexico.
Nice legacy for this guy.
Wow, you even brought Jews into that diatribe.
except in Orange and LA County.

I'm guessing you're just misinformed instead of spreading falsehoods.
No firm has been chosen to build the highway. The concept hasn't even been approved. A Spanish firm, in partnership with a Texas firm, has been given the contract to design it.
The facilities in Kansas City that would be Mexican are not Mexican territory. It is office space and facilities to inspect Amercian exports leaving this country. We would have similar facilities in Mexico, but it wouldn't be part of America.
But carry on.
For Medved and the Kool-Aid drinkers, as long as its not actually named the “NAFTA Superhighway”, well then, it isn’t.
I admit to having my eyes roll backwards on the NWO stuff, so I haven't read too much of that.
It's a frickin' road.
His convoy made 6 mph in some stretches.
Okay I’m firing my Mexican gardener, can you get up here oh I’d say about the end of March and get the spring cleanup going?
Traffic will move much faster there when martial law closes the highways to civilians.
Or a trucker.
Those Mexican truckers may not read or speak English, but they'll drive 20 hours a day,
for a few McSkillet Burritos.
A lot of people see it as a rallying cry. The combination of recent and past events have made people mad as hell and they’re not going to be lied to anymore.
Hell, in this state, they say it would cost too much to widen existing roads and then turn around and let some foreign country build new roads that cut right across people’s valuable farm and ranch lands that they’ve held in their families for hundreds of years.
Doesn’t make a lot of sense, does it?
I wouldn’t have a problem with widening existing roadways or even adding toll lanes to said roads. I do have a problem with the direction state and national leaders have in mind.
Traffic will move much faster there when martial law closes the highways to civilians.
So, no new roads in this country ever again, right? We’ll just widen existing ones, and if that requires bulldozing profitable businesses and nice homes, then that’s just fine, because at least it won’t be a new road.
Yes, building new roads makes a lot of sense.
“if that requires bulldozing profitable businesses and nice home”
That happens all the time and is figured into the highway budget.
What price do you put on someone’s generational homestead?
Could you be a little less rigid and try to understand how Texans feel about their heritage? (and read up on some of this stuff as painful for you as it might be)
4000 miles of NEW roads isn’t for the citizens of Texas benefit just, the multinational corps and our so-called leaders who get the kickbacks.
Of course it’s figured into the budget and the decision where to build new roads. We want to expand highway capacity in the least costly and disruptive manner.
Bulldozing a Best Buy, as opposed to bulldozing a pasture, especially if the pasture is where you want to put the road is a no-brainer.
That pasture may have been owned for generations (not really that many in Texas) by one family, but sentimental reasons don’t really factor in. Frankly, many people do everything they can TO get a highway through their land in the hopes of selling the frontage property to developers.
You keep telling me I’m uninformed. I’m not. I’ve also lived here in Texas for nearly 30 years. I understand the culture and I understand the objections.
But I’m just not going to fall victim to the hysteria about a new highway being built. It’s not even the last one we’ll need to be built.
And if you have evidence that our politicians are getting kickbacks on this, please contact our Attorney General or the FBI. Or at least post the evidence here.
Hogwash. This is all conspiracy nutball stuff. George Bush said so.
