remember the wild West and the great train robberies?? Think the drug cartels may add another lucrative endeavor to their quiver??

[Jim Robinson]

Just what we need. /sarc

[Nifster]

oh great a speedier way for the illegals to get here

[Georgia Girl 2]

Oh great speeding illegals into the US. :-)

[smokingfrog]

bad idea

[hosepipe]

Something for the Drug cartels to de-rail or hijack or Rob.. OR..
capture people for ransom..

Who was the genius that thunk his up.?..

[Jane Long]

So, Rep Cuellar (D-Mexico) gets to decide that this Fast and Furious *Bullet* train is a go, or not? Oh, okay.

The article says nothing about who's proposing it, who's proposed to fund it, whether or not Texas wants it, etc.

[llevrok]

Good idea. The tunnels are already built. /s

[NonValueAdded]

Let’s hear it for southbound trains

[arthurus]

Once it is in operation the fares will exceed air fare.

[ExCTCitizen]

A new way - FASTER - to get the following into the US: illegals, terrorists, drugs, WMDs, and other digusting things. Leaving for Mexico: jobs.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

One lawmaker says it would revolutionize trade and travel illegal immigration between the U.S. and Mexico...

Fixed it.

[Vince Ferrer]

Instead of paying for a round-trip airline ticket to Monterrey from San Antonio — which can cost at least $400 — Cuellar said a commuter could hop on a high-speed train and travel between the two cities in less than two hours.

Nice apples to oranges comparison. I'm sure the lieutenant governor will have the train go through Rock Ridge.

[La Lydia]

"…it would also allow the commuter to skip lengthy customs lines at the airport and crowded border patrol check points…"

"…opponents wonder who will foot the bill?"

"I think one of our challenges is where will we come up with the money," said Cuellar.

[PAR35]

Think of the money they can save. They’d only need to run the trains one way.

[MeshugeMikey]

How about High Speed Rafts.... From Cuba.. to Florida, WHILE WERE AT IT?

[logitech]

There must be some clinical name for the obsession communists have with trains.

[Irenic]

Terrible idea! That’s all I’m seeing lately.

SAN ANTONIO -

*Northside Independent School District Superintendent Brian Woods is proposing a $648.34 million bond for the district.

*They are tearing down a school that is less than 10 years old to build a new, larger one in the same spot. Wasted a few million there.

*San Antonio’s total debt tops $9.4 billion.

What in the Sam Hill are these jackazzes doing?! trying to be frickin’ LA? And I’m sure everybody remembers this :

San Antonio Christians to face the unseemly side of ‘nondiscrimination’

[upchuck]

This sounds like a great idea. Just so long as the Texans and Mexicans don’t expect me to pay for any of it.
