Bush Administration Quietly Plans NAFTA Super Highway

Jerome R. Corsi / Human Events | June 14 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.

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 Longshoremanâ??s Union in the process. The Mexican trucks, without the involvement of the Teamsters Union, will drive on what will be the nationâ??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 â??SENTRIâ?� 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 â??North American Unionâ?� that government planners in the new trilateral region of United States, Canada and Mexico are about to drive into reality.

Just examine the following websites to get a feel for the magnitude of NAFTA Super Highway planning that has been going on without any new congressional legislation directly authorizing the construction of the planned international corridor through the center of the country.

NASCO, the North America SuperCorridor Coalition Inc., is a â??non-profit organization dedicated to developing the worldâ??s first international, integrated and secure, multi-modal transportation system along the International Mid-Continent Trade and Transportation Corridor to improve both the trade competitiveness and quality of life in North America.â?�

Where does that sentence say anything about the USA? Still, NASCO has received $2.5 million in earmarks from the U.S. Department of Transportation to plan the NAFTA Super Highway as a 10-lane limited-access road (five lanes in each direction) plus passenger and freight rail lines running alongside pipelines laid for oil and natural gas. One glance at the map of the NAFTA Super Highway on the front page of the NASCO website will make clear that the design is to connect Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. into one transportation system.

Kansas City SmartPort Inc. is an â??investor based organization supported by the public and private sectorâ?� to create the key hub on the NAFTA Super Highway. At the Kansas City SmartPort, the containers from the Far East can be transferred to trucks going east and west, dramatically reducing the ground transportation time dropping the containers off in Los Angeles or Long Beach involves for most of the country. A brochure on the SmartPort website describes the plan in glowing terms: â??For those who live in Kansas City, the idea of receiving containers nonstop from the Far East by way of Mexico may sound unlikely, but later this month that seemingly far-fetched notion will become a reality.â?�

The U.S. government has housed within the Department of Commerce (DOC) an â??SPP officeâ?� that is dedicated to organizing the many working groups laboring within the executive branches of the U.S., Mexico and Canada to create the regulatory reality for the Security and Prosperity Partnership. The SPP agreement was signed by Bush, President Vicente Fox, and then-Prime Minister Paul Martin in Waco, Tex., on March 23, 2005. According to the DOC website, a U.S.-Mexico Joint Working Committee on Transportation Planning has finalized a plan such that â??(m)ethods for detecting bottlenecks on the U.S.-Mexico border will be developed and low cost/high impact projects identified in bottleneck studies will be constructed or implemented.â?� The report notes that new SENTRI travel lanes on the Mexican border will be constructed this year.

The border at Laredo should be reduced to an electronic speed bump for the Mexican trucks containing goods from the Far East to enter the U.S. on their way to the Kansas City SmartPort.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is overseeing the Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) as the first leg of the NAFTA Super Highway. A 4,000-page environmental impact statement has already been completed and public hearings are scheduled for five weeks, beginning next month, in July 2006. The billions involved will be provided by a foreign company, Cintra Concessions de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A. of Spain. As a consequence, the TTC will be privately operated, leased to the Cintra consortium to be operated as a toll-road.

The details of the NAFTA Super Highway are hidden in plan view. Still, Bush has not given speeches to bring the NAFTA Super Highway plans to the full attention of the American public. Missing in the move toward creating a North American Union is the robust public debate that preceded the decision to form the European Union. All this may be for calculated political reasons on the part of the Bush Administration.

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.

i'll read the rest later.

Can someone summerize this. Pisshead?

DOT has allowed long distance drivers that can't even speak english to drive our highways for years..knew this was coming.

and we're going to pay for it with toll roads on roads we've already paid for...the equivalent of another $3/gallon on top of what we're paying now...every major road and highway, in texas at least, will be a toll road, and you'll pay it automatically with rfid transponders that are going in the new inspection stickers...

the roads are owned by some spanish company. i'm going to pay a spanish company to drive on roads we've already paid for. this is the selling out of america in the name of globalism...it's global tyranny.

the vast majority of people are against it...but we've got the electronic voting machines that's going to say we voted for it...that's tyranny.

it's the economic rape of everyone...it's going to cost me over $100 one way, just to drive to see my parents in the same state.

Think about Independent Truck Drivers being putting out of business because of Fuel costs..and tolls...and people are shocked about shipping costs these days.

exactly, that's what it's about...it's about destroying the economy and getting us all in debt or on government welfare...

there'll be plenty of jobs for homeland security though while our kids are in school all day getting drugged to protect their freedom.

this is just the beginning, i wish the neo-cons and liberals would wake the fuck up and realize what they're supporting, cause they're making it bad for the rest of us.

The way we transport people and goods in the U.S. is all fucked up. We spent 58.7 billion on U.S. highways in 2005. I think cars should be automatic using GPS and video recognition and goods should be moved by rail. U.S. hwy deaths in 2005 was 43,200.

And how do the 'goods" get from rail to stores and consumers...you can believe if DOT could figure a way to suck more money out of Drivers..they already would have...

I don't know, hanggliders? My ideas are out there. It bugs me that we spend so much on the roads. There are so many trucks hauling goods for Wal-Mart and other corporations. I'm sure most of the wear is due to these trucks yet we have to pay for the upkeep. And the truck drivers live on and believe they own the road. Haha :mad:

Your very misinformed..you and other taxpayers enjoy the roads that Professional Drivers and Shipping Companies pay the big money on..next time you pay a toll check out the difference in price of cars vs trucks and the axles..Ohio Tolls alone cost most Drivers over a hundred bucks one way..the cars pay a penance compared. It bugs Drivers when they are forced to get the goods to consumers that wouldn't know how to function one day in this Country if Drivers didn't deliver..next time you make your purchase in any store..thank a Driver..thats how it made it to you...and think about how heavy machinery makes it to where it needs to be after a hurricane,tornadoes..etc..there will always be a need for Professional Drivers.

Too fuct to reply but great info. Thank you. You're right, I don't know but I learn.

THE NEW WORLD DISORDER
Mexican customs to be stationed in Kansas City
New 'inland port' in heartland part of international plan that bypasses unions

A Mexican customs office is being built in the U.S. heartland as part of a newly designed "inland port" facility that links with a Mexican seaport, an official in Kansas City confirms.

Tasha Hammes of the Kansas City Area Development Council wrote to author and WND columnist Jerome Corsi to correct some details of a column on the subject, but she affirmed that a key purpose of the Kansas City Inland Port, or SmartPort, will be to facilitate the movement of containers from the Far East through the Mexican port at Lazaro Cardenas rather than the West Coast ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

Corsi also had written that Kansas City Southern had acquired Mexican railroads to create a "NAFTA Railroad" that would link Lazaro Cardenas to the U.S. for container transport.
