In five years you will have neither a country nor a currency.

Canada, US, and Mexico will become one, sharing one border and one currency, know as "The North American Union". Think I'm wrong? Investigate it. There is already a 12 lane highway being constructed from Mexico to Canada. Texas alone will lose a million acres of farmland for this highway. It is known as the NAFTA Super Highway, or the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC). 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. This is all being planned by the Department of Commerce (DOC) "SPP office".

Like I said earlier, investigate this yourself.

 

It's going to take five years alone for them to decide where the TTC is going to through Texas.

Already looking forward to sharing the roads with trucks from Mexico that will not meet the safety standards they are supposed to.

 

Wow!

 

I saw a super I70 being constructed as I crossed the country..... What road would you be talking about???

 

I70 runs east/west, this would be north/south.

 

This is the TXDOT info on the TTC

It says it would be completed, in phases, over the next 50 years.

I figure we'd all be flyin' around like the Jetson's by then.

 

The system has been criticized for a number of reasons. Among the most significant is the fact that the TTC will be extremely expensive. Additionally the system will require about 9,000 square miles (23,300 km?) of land to be purchased or acquired through the state's assertion of eminent domain. Environmentalists are concerned about the effects of such wide corridors, and private land owners have expressed disgust at the idea that their land may be seized and in turn be sold in exclusive agreements to other developers in order to help pay for the transit links.[2][3]

Ironically, while Governor Rick Perry is supportive of the plan, the Republican Party of Texas 2006 platform opposes the Corridor. [4]


found info.

If you could see the trucks they drive in Mexico, that alone would be enough reason to oppose this. My mom lives close to the border, and we go accross quite a bit.

I don't care what kind of promises they make about safety, they aren't going to be able to check them all.

 

I guess its time to pack up the family and go live in a hole...
lol

The land will actually be turned over to a foreign entity - a Spanish owned corporation.
