Uh no, I've posted many times before here that I want a wall along the entire Southern border (Israeli-style preferable, but the Minuteman pattern would probably be a good compromise.)
Guess again. Better yet, actually educate yourself instead of reading a couple of tinfoil websites and being whipped into hysteria. With a huge infrastructure of parallel free roads, why would smugglers use a new tollway with cameras (and at some, booth operators) at pay plazas all along the route? Do you understand what an inland port really is? It is about shifting taxing from arrival ports to after the goods leave the inland port's warehouses, thus removing a financial incentive to warehouse and repack at the port where the ship is unloaded. Lots of jobs in that warehousing and redistribution, that will be done in America instead of the Mexican port city.
It is also about measures to speed the movement of goods so they aren't delayed for days at the border crossings. Some of it is paperwork efficiency, some of it involves sealing methods. Not foolproof, but not as scary as the tinfoils assume. GPS can track the movement of every truck, and while a vandal might be able to occasionally break into a train container, it can't happen systematically because the railroads (which have their own police force in addition to the local, state, and fed agencies) concentrate forces wherever problems start to occur. So then drug cartels have to pull inside jobs at the unloading facilities. Which is easier for them to pull that off at, in a border community or a GOP-voting suburb of Kansas City? And again, Kansas City isn't unique, there are many other municipalities that are or are setting up to function as inland ports.
You guys see one map on a website marketing a single proposal and assume there aren't dozens (actually hundreds) more proposals, with some already built and functioning for years. Are you aware that we have been bringing in containers from Canadian ports for years? Vancouver, Halifax, Montreal, and now Prince Rupert, shipped to the Midwest and Northeast for years now. The only reason more hasn't come in from Mexico was we used to have the capacity at closer west coast US ports with better rail and highway infrastructure. Now that those are reaching capacity, the overflow will go to further out ports, with Mexico being next in line. These (and other projects) are just improving the linking infrastructure, like we did years earlier to the US and Canadian ports.
Nice rant...Sure, the super highway and inland customs office has some appeal to some...
Business people in Europe love the E.U. but the general population doesn't care much for it...And the 'American Union' may appeal to you but I'll guarantee most U.S. Americans won't be too imressed once they figure it out...
This is only one phase of the sellout of America...The plan also includes the free movement of 'labor'...
And the same people are proposing elimination of the dollar, peso and the Canadian funny money to be replaced by a single currency...
But this plan is out...It's no longer a secret...You call us kooks when the whole thing is staring you in the face...I don't believe you are calling us kooks for believing in the NWO, you're calling us kooks for not going along with it...
You know......everything you've said might very well be true or that may be the 'stated' purpose of this new highway system and inland port but, the inescapable fact is that we're still dealing with the most corrupt, narco driven gov't in this hemisphere by far and for anyone looking at this relationship objectively the facts prove that Mexico has latched onto our body politic like some kind of parasite and the results have been disastrous.
We've heard so much crap over the years from the media and politicians about how positive it would be to have open borders and a free flow of people (+ all the other BS) and now we see hospitals being bankrupted, billions of our tax $ going to people who would just as soon spit on you and me if given the chance, a varied assortment of IMPORTED criminals in our jails, increased cases of TB and other diseases that were almost eradicated in the US, fake ID's being used to scam even more welfare $and services, etc........all this so a number businesses can have cheap, untaxable labor?......if this isn't the true definition of NATIONAL SUICIDE I don't know what is!
Now, you and others can try as hard as desperately possible to dress up this pig of a country but there's no way many of us will ever believe that any dealings we have with Mexico in giving them access to the interior of this country for anything will result in anything very postive for our country. Sure, it'll line the pockets of the same connected families in both countries but if you're naive to think this new arrangement will much of a benefit to us you're dreaming......what this new port will be is a beachead for further Mexican expansion into our interior.
Nice try but idiotic
the big thing is that roads that lead to mexico are a bad deal. if you were a globalist you might even swing a deal glombing together the usa and canada but mixing in mexico is a 100% bad deal for the USA.
what makes any country worth anything is the middle class.
the billionaires have become nomads.
