The question of whether we need a new road is whether the current ones are getting overloaded. It’s not more complicated than that.
We’ve had roads going to the border since shortly after the first settlers arrived. This crazy notion that suddenly another one signals the end of our Republic is absurd.
How is the “NAFTA Highway” as the paranoids have been dubbing it, any different that Interstate 5? Why won’t anyone answer that question?
I left California because I got a job offer in Texas. It’s worked out well for me. Nothing sinister or political about it.
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.
The planned right of way is more than 8 times as wide, for starters.
