could yesterdays hoopla in Miami be a distraction from the Super

[donsu]

Highway info? smirk, Howard, Fox get together and make plans without any of the citizens of the 3 countries knowing. with work on the highway to start in Tx next yr.

they planned to skirt US unions by using Mex. ports.

all of this done without any input from the citizens of the 3 countries.

we start talking about it at DU, TV picks it up and talks about it and boom Miami catches terrorists and the media talks of nothing else.

1. This worries me

With the borders open there would be a LOW standard wage shared by all three countries. The unions would be phased out. This is why Bush cares nothing for border control other than making a good show.

US divided by superhighway plan
CRAIG HOWIE

A MASSIVE road four football fields wide and running from Mexico to Canada through the heartland of the United States is being proposed amid controversy over security and the damage to the environment.

The "nation's most modern roadway", proposed between Laredo in Texas and Duluth, Minnesota, along Interstate 35, would allow the US to bypass the west coast ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to import goods from China and the Far East into the heart of middle America via Mexico, saving both cost and time.

However, critics argue that the ten-lane road would lay a swathe of concrete on top of an already over-developed transport infrastructure and further open the border with Mexico to illegal immigrants or terrorists.

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.

9. No, it's pretty clear to me...

The story was meant to create a counterpoint to the bank records snooping story.

It's meant to manufacture consent for govt invasion of our privacy.
