“The state of Texas should improve its existing north/south highways and forget about the rest. “
Yeah, but building a new highway is cheaper than buying all the land on I-35 in order to expand it. JMHO.
The TTC is way over-engineered and they ought to kick out the Cintra folks... but not all new highways are bad.

But if other ports are developed to handle more of the cargo, there might be no need for that new system. And, if it’s feasible to send more ships through the Panama Canal, there are Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic ports that can handle more, or expand, or possibly build new ports.
It’s absurd to plan huge amounts of cargo bound for the US to come through new Mexican ports and be delivered throughout the US by Mexican truckers.
Everyone doesn’t buy the lowest possible cost is the only value approach. If the American people become involved in this, they’ll want to see US ports handle the cargo and US truckers move it around the country.
