NAFTA Superhighway Likely to Be Extended

By Anonymous

Columnist Jerome Corsi has reported on World Net Daily that a superhighway – a train-truck-car-pipeline corridor – created under the auspices of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and actually in the beginning stages of construction in Texas, will likely soon be extended to Oklahoma and Colorado, stretching the immediate building prospects of the highway from the Mexican border at Laredo, Texas, to Denver. The plan is for the states of Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado to apply a private/public toll-road concept, first developed by the Texas Department of Transportation (DOT), to largely rural areas along a so-called Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor.

The Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor will expedite the shipment of millions of cargo containers from China that enter North America through Mexican ports, bypassing American workers in favor of cheaper Mexican labor, foreshadowing a deeper integration of Mexico, Canada, and the United States called the North American Union.

To advance this plan, the Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor Coalition, sponsored by the consulates of Mexico and Canada, along with the Texas and Colorado transportation departments, is cosponsoring a “Great Plains 2007″ international conference September 19-21 at the Adam’s Mark Hotel in Denver.
