Can someone please explain how the Bush Admin is concurrently promoting both a new border fence to quell the influx of illegals from Mexic and is in the process of acquiring land from Mexico to Canada (some of it by threatened imminent domain) with the intended purpose of relinquishing ownership of said highway to foreign ownership

Yeah, and what's up that a foreign contractor got the job? I live in Texas and people are really upset about the land grab and the fact that a foreign company is building it! Then it is just salt in the wound that the US won't even retain ownership.
Is this a done deal?

When I am in the States, I live in Southern Texas. The state has cut a deal with a foreign business to build a super highway across the state, to build a high speed corridor from, tata, Canada to Mexico. Some Texans are in a rage over it.
It is as silly as most things anti-Mexicans say to claim it is supposed to be to help the illegals get in.

I vote 'no' on a Canada/Mexico highway. There's already enough roads to move stuff trans-nationally, and PLENTY of trucking companies already out there. What Mexico needs to work on is its' DOMESTIC commerce. For that matter, so do we. All this obsession with foreign trade has led people farther and farther from the basic concept of 'work'. Too much funny money, not enough honest dirt...as far as selling so much as 10ft. of road in the United States to ANY foreign country, PLEASE tell me that Congress is sufficiently conscious to jump up and down with great determination on any such crack-dreams...

yeah funny isnt it? ... lets build a fence to keep "terrorists" from crossing through the desert and build them a superhighway instead ... it really doesnt matter ... our rights and freedoms are being diminished and the lower and middle classes are being exstinguished by industy being moved out of the country along with good paying jobs ... when real-id is fully implemented it will most likely be impossible for non-citizens to function in society and eventually noone will be able to buy,sell,or travel without the card...
