It blows my mind how amazingly stupid some people can be on these threads. They ask if she floats, then decides she is a witch. Art Bell conspiracy theories swallowed hook, line, and sinker. The biggest kooks at DU are no more gullible than some of the tinfoilers here. You see the sun rise in the east and set in the west and immediate conclude that the sun rotates around the earth (and that this will cause us to speak Spanish and then die.) Goodness gracious.

Nothing is "being built as we speak." The TTC-35 from Laredo to the Oklahoma border is in the planning process, with San Antonio-Dallas to be built by 2015 and the San Antonio-Laredo around 2025. The company awarded the operating concession (NOT ownership, and TXDOT can cancel the concession at will at any time) is the Cintry-Zachry consortium, with Cintry based out of Spain and Zachry based out of San Antonio, TEXAS. Nothing anywhere near that far along north of the Texas border.

Yes Kansas City is creating an inland port, which will open long before 2015 and utilize EXISTING road and rail during that time. So are Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, South Florida, Ohio, and a myriad of other places seeking to expand their port operations and capture more of the warehousing, repackaging, distribution and other jobs and economic development that comes with increased trade. Virginia has had an inland port for years at Front Royal. Was that inland port created years ago to smuggle in illegal aliens, create a 1-gov't North America, and take away your pistols? Or was it simply an economic development project to bring jobs to that area?

Ships are waiting days to get into the ports of LA and Long Beach, with all the west coast ports reaching buildout and there isn't any other place to build another without a decade or more of red tape, enviro lawsuits, NIMBY lawsuits, etc. So using Mexican ports become an obvious answer in the face of continued trade growth.

This website is being overrun by the crackpots, kooks, and vandals.

Operated by US Customs authority. There is no sovereign territory established for a foreign government to operate a customs house there and that is a very big difference.

It's amazing that the President actually took time off from his busy schedule of creating the North American super-state to go visit the troops.

I almost wish we were back at the silly Denver Airport BS conspiracy that predated this silly secret Highway of Tyranny.

And it's also populated by those useful idiots who swallow every bit of politically correct rhetoric and propaganda hook, line and enchilada. I'm sure you probably believe the crap about Mexicans just wanting to come here and work (when they cost us tens of billions in welfare expenses), that Fox just wants an "orderly movement of people" (when we see the borders overrun with any # of rapists, murderers and drug dealers) and businesses need to hire Mexicans to do the "jobs Americans won't do" (the perfect cover story for American businessmen who want to evade payroll taxes as well as pay minimal wages to Mexican workers because they know taxpayers will be stuck with other employee living expenses.

The point is a small % of those shipments coming in from Mexico and overseas will even be checked by customs and what better way to distribute drugs and other contraband across the whole country than by having an inland port right in middle America.
