Once complete, the new road will allow containers from the Far East to enter the United States through the Mexican port of Lazaro Cardenas, bypassing the Longshoreman�s Union in the process. The Mexican trucks, without the involvement of the Teamsters Union, will drive on what will be the nation�s most modern highway straight into the heart of America. The Mexican trucks will cross border in FAST lanes, checked only electronically by the new �SENTRI� system. The first customs stop will be a Mexican customs office in Kansas City, their new Smart Port complex, a facility being built for Mexico at a cost of $3 million to the U.S. taxpayers in Kansas City.

As incredible as this plan may seem to some readers, the first Trans-Texas Corridor segment of the NAFTA Super Highway is ready to begin construction next year. Various U.S. government agencies, dozens of state agencies, and scores of private NGOs (non-governmental organizations) have been working behind the scenes to create the NAFTA Super Highway, despite the lack of comment on the plan by President Bush. The American public is largely asleep to this key piece of the coming �North American Union� that government planners in the new trilateral region of United States, Canada and Mexico are about to drive into reality.

If this is true, I really don't like it...

Trying to seal up the borders while this is going on...sheesh. And as usual, Bush speaks out of both sides of his mouth, or says nothing at all.

What a craptacular plan.

This has been in the planning for awhile now. Something like 6-8 lanes per side so that semi's can have 2 lanes to themselves. And they want to run natural gas and other things through pipes in the divider of the freeway. I have to admit to not being a big fan of it. I dont like the idea of cheaper goods at the costs of letting who knows who in from open borders.
