Is the Bush Administration advancing the
plan to build a huge NAFTA Super Highway, 4 football-fields-wide, through the heart of the
U.S.
7-11-07 Warrior News
The highway will run along Interstate 35, from
the Mexican border at Laredo, Texas to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minn. The
NASCO Super Corridor has received $2.5 million in Congressional funding from the United
States Department of Transportation (USDOT)
NASCO presents their Myth versus Fact Version

If you read the NASCO web site they use
phrases like, "cross-border trade facilitation requirements" "a
network of contacts, as well as with regulatory and governmental entities from the local,
state, provincial and Federal governments of Mexico and Canada. Review

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.
The U.S. government has housed within the Department of Commerce (DOC) an “SPP
office” 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 “(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.” 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 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.
