The GOP presidential candidate says U.S. sovereignty is at risk. Highway and trade officials and transportation consultants say there are no plans for such a project.

WASHINGTON -- The man from Arlington, Texas, could barely contain his smirk as he looked into a computer video camera to pose a question of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul.

“So, you really do want the Democrats to win. Call 99% of Americans obsolete”

“No,if I wanted Dims to win, I’d vote for Paul or Hunter”

Best way to get Democrats elected is to keep voting for traitor Globalists.

I would suppose the less monied land owners will have their property taken by eminent domain while the corporations

There's also the chance that eminent domain will be extended to the corporations involved, too. We had that one happen here about 8 years ago, but were able to successfully fight it thanks to overwhelming community outrage.

The interstate that has yet to be built in Kentucky that I spoke of is I-64. I'm told that I-75 was not originally supposed to pass through Knoxville, but persistent lobbying (and probably quite a few dead Presidents) got the route changed. Originally, I-75 was supposed to follow a path between US127 and US23 through that part of the coalfield in East Kentucky.

There was a long article on the NAU in the AustinAmericanStatesman Sunday. They went indepth on every aspect from the Bildeburgs to Bush to CFR, poo pooing the idea by saying only poor Dims and Repubs believe in such fantasies. (the folks who are most affected by outsourcing, trade agreements, globalization, etc)

At the end, they said it might become an issue in the presidential race.

[television is just wrong]

I agree with Ron Paul too many decades of our feds not caring about the future of this nation...

[wolfcreek]

Let me be the first (well, maybe not THE first) to say, “most of the money for these *corridors) is coming from........you guessed it........CHINA!”

The Spanish companies are laundering the money. (in a sense)

[Heartofsong83]

You mean I-66 (misnumbered IMO, should be I-60 or I-50), not I-64 which is pretty much down. Much of that corridor is already a freeway now...

Whose ox is gored by allowing Mexican truck drivers to deliver their goods? Is it the Teamsters Union or who?

Not knowing what you do to earn your denaros, I'll cover just a few of the items as I see them and you can tell me when to stop.

first off, congress de funded the cross border program so FMCSA has no way to enforce any compliance.

The Mexican government has no database to verify the validity of a Mexican license nor can the Mexican states report to each other when violations occur, to report to the operators home state to define a habitual offender.

Mexico has no hours of service regulations, thusly a Mexican driver can and does drive for up to 24 hours from areas like Mexico City to the US border, then with a swipe of the pen starts a log (required while running in the states) before crossing the border, amazingly just having come off a 10 hour break so he'll be good here for another 11 hours of driving.

I hope your family won't be there.

There are no drug testing facilities meeting our minimum standards, in Mexico so we are to believe that the sample is an honest clean sample, when they mail their drug tests to our labs, did you see the ABC sting about drug testing a few weeks ago? We've got issues with in person fraud, but mail in samples now too??!

All this is so an honest hard working Mexican can cross the border for 1/4th the money an American driver would do it for ...

Chapter Two - Equipment

Contrary to what Mary Peters would have you believe, not all the equipment coming from Mexico will be the 2007 quality that was the token truck shown on Labor Day when the cross border program was initiated. I've seen some of the trucks and they've ranges from stuff a couple of years old, to what would be retired in the US as vintage 80's farm trash cause we wouldn't in good conscience use it on the highways, that description includes trailers as well.

Have you looked at a Diesel pump lately?

We recently switched to a new formulation of diesel designated as ULSD - ultra low sulpher 15 ppm. down from the 500 ppm we started using in the early 90's

Mexico does not comply with our EPA standards so the cheaper fuel they'll be packing when they cross into the US will be over 5000 ppm, not very carbon friendly is it...

BTW for the US trucks that are going down there, with the new standards, our equipment has a DPF - diesel particulate filter, it will be good for about one tank of Mexigas before the emissions are fouled and the truck will literally have to be towed to a shop that can clean out the plumbing.

Chapter Three, Security

Here are some links you so you can figure out who's getting hosed and it seems to me we can deduce where the next 9-11 will be ...

So lets think about this, we've got imported drivers bringing imported goods across the least secure border in possibly unsafe trucks being operated by mostly unregulated drivers that possibly can't speak, read or intermingle with our citizens.

are you feeling just a little prick yet?

There's a lot more if you want it...

Oh, and since you obviously have a dislike for the Teamsters, here's a good one for ya, be sure and follow the links inside the story for a complete picture...

Reference bump, thanks!

[SouthTexas]

I think if anybody in Omaha wants cheap sh*t from China, they should pay for the plane and fly it in.

Not picking on just those in Nebraska.

[Brad’s Gramma]

BTTT FRiend...thank you for including me in the ping.

[glock rocks]

Great post Pete. Thanks.

[DaGman]

Anyone not from Texas and that does not have land that will be stolen for the Trans-Texas Corridor should really educate theirselves about the TTC before posting. The TTC must be stopped.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

I knew you had been interested in the nafta rail connection a while back...

[Brad’s Gramma]

[Pete-R-Bilt]
