NAFTA Super Highway
 Wayne Weisser - truckingblog.net
I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but this one is already underway. This sounds complicated, but it's not. A super highway from deep in Mexico so the cheap crap from China bypasses Unions in Long Beach USA ports. Container get dropped on cheap Mexican trucks and trains bypassing US drivers and train operators. A customs stop in Kansas City where things get offloaded and head east and west or continue to Canada.
HUMAN EVENTS ONLINE - Bush Administration Quietly Plans NAFTA Super Highway by Jerome R. Corsi.
by Jerome R. Corsi Posted Jun 12, 2006
Quietly but systematically, the Bush Administration is advancing the plan to build a huge NAFTA Super Highway, four football-fields-wide, through the heart of the U.S. along Interstate 35, from the Mexican border at Laredo, Tex., to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minn.
The article goes on and is definitely worth a read.
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.
I used to like GW, but between this, immigration and spending the list keeps getting longer. I still think the other guy would have been a lot worse.
A good reason Bush does not want to secure the border with Mexico may be that the administration is trying to create express lanes for Mexican trucks to bring containers with cheap Far East goods into the heart of the U.S., all without the involvement of any U.S. union workers on the docks or in the trucks.
This is only the beginning in more ways than one. |
