Answer 2

The alleged planned superhighway, the 10-lane, 400-yard wide, behemouth, is a hoax. But that doesn't stop certain groups (e.g. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=15497 ) from "reporting" it as if it is real.

The "Superhighway" is actually I-35. According to NASCO,

""NAFTA Superhighway" - As of late, there has been much media attention given to the "new, proposed NAFTA Superhighway". NASCO and the cities, counties, states and provinces along our existing Interstate Highways 35/29/94 (the NASCO Corridor) have been referring to I-35 as the 'NAFTA Superhighway' for many years, as I-35 already carries a substantial amount of international trade with Mexico, the United States and Canada. There are no plans to build a new NAFTA Superhighway - it exists today as I-35. "

What certain folks have done is take a real road that has a nickname and make it sound like it is a "new" planned road. The folks who would do such a thing are the same group who opposed NAFTA more than 14 years ago.

You can read a nearly 10-year old article on I-35 here: http://www.hoover.org/publications/policyreview/3572957.html

Excerpt from the old article:

"...In its first three years, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) slashed tariffs on U.S. goods entering Mexico by 7.1 percent, and on Mexican goods entering the United States by 1.4 percent. In spite of the peso devaluation that made U.S. exports there more expensive, sales to Mexico have grown by 37 percent. Total trade between the two nations increased by 61 percent, or nearly $50 billion. America’s combined commerce with Canada and Mexico, its NAFTA partners, rose in that time by $127 billion annually.

This windfall from trade would be impressive even if it were confined only to dusty border towns and coastal cities. But the real news is that there is a tremendous river of international commerce rushing right through America’s heartland. In Kansas City, a metroplex of 1.7 million people that straddles the Kansas–Missouri border, unemployment dipped to 3.2 percent in July 1997. This has made NAFTA believers of residents of the region.

[...]

U.S. Interstate Highway 35 defines this axis. It stretches 1,585 miles, starting at Laredo, Texas, on the Mexican border, then passing north through San Antonio, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Wichita, Kansas City, Des Moines, Minneapolis–Saint Paul, and the port of Duluth, on Lake Superior near the Canadian border. En route, it intersects interstates 30, 40, 29, 70, 80, and 94. Seventy-four percent of the trucking traffic between Mexico and the United States takes I-35 through Texas. By 2000, 5 million trucks a year will cross the border at Laredo."

Rather than accept defeat, the Pat Buchanans of the world decided that it would be in their best financial interest to spread fear among the American people, making folks believe that we are essentially underattacked -- that we are about to lose our country to a bunch of foreigners.

Mainstream media as well as left-wing and right-wing media are not buying the wacko conspiracy theory.

Answer 3

tremendous concept. enable's positioned it by ability of your outside. BTW, we already have a street connecting Mexico to Canada. it is said as the 5 restricted-access highway and it runs from South of the Mexico/California border, via California, Oregon, Washington and as a lot as B.C Canada.

Answer 4

Within 20 years, we are going to have somethin similar to the European Union. They will say it will beneficial for the economies of North America, but its really a consolidation of the soverign countries of the world into different economic and political blocks. Funny, cause that is exactly what was done in Orwell's 1984. We are heading to global government ruled by the elites. Read between the lines.

Answer 5

I already thought there was a one-way superhighway leading into the US from Mexico. Oh wait, that is illegal immigration. Such a highway would be interesting, in reality.

Answer 6

There is one being planed,with open borders .I read an answer earlier on Y answers which gave a web site where you can read the details; nascocorridor.com. And congress is giving them(nasco) millions to plan it.Why the media isn't reporting it a good question?

Answer 7

Good in theory, bad in practice because it is just a step further towards a North American Union, similar to the EU.

Scary stuff.

Answer 8

They will unload goods in Mexico by their longshoremen Every box car will have a few Mexicans-and tons of drugs so it will be good for the nasty scum we call a government yes but I never voted for it.no

Answer 9

The best tactical rule in warfare is to"divide the enemy into small sections then destroy him one section at a time."

It works everywhere, in sports like football and in business.


Building a highway that divides the country is something we should view with suspicion, for obvious reasons.

Answer 10

Its owned by a Spanish company. And what about Security, it's a sham.
