You got it.
He wanted to build a super duper corridor with highway, railway links etc.
It was to run north from the Mexican border.
Lots of land would have to have been seized to build it.
A great conservative who wanted to open up a corrdidor from the Mexican border for all things Mexican to enter the United States.
Way to go, Rick........
Thats what I am worried about. I lived in Texas for 7 years and I didn’t see anything that caused me to think he was enforcing the border either. The longer that I lived near Houston the worse it got.
And wouldn't that also allow "all things Texan" to go far more easily to the Northern U.S. markets to the Canadian markets and to the Mexican markets?
I hate to break the news to you but a system of "super highways" going North-South has been around since the 1950's. It's called the Interstate Highway System.
On the Florida Atlantic Coast, we have both I-95 and the Florida Turnpike serving North-South traffic and on the Florida Gulf Coast we have I-75 serving North-South traffic. Those three separate North-South super-highways, in relatively narrow Florida, are crucial to the Florida economy.
Looking at the Texas highway system, it looks like most of Texas is in the "You can't get there from here" category.
In the 1800's, America used to build "Eire Canals" and "Chesapeake and Ohio Canals" and "Trans-Continental Railroads" to stimulate trade and to grow the American economy.
In 2011, some people are frightened of some Mexican goods traveling north while the large majority of manufactured goods in their house and the keyboard they type on has a label that says "MADE IN CHINA" on it.
Go figure.
