Trans-Texas Corridor, Wounded but not Dead - By HJS

The Trans-Texas Corridor Wounded
But it is not over

According to KWTX, on May 1, The bill which placed a two-year moratorium on contracts for private toll roads was approved by the Texas House by a whopping 139-1. The Texas Senate had already approved the same bill earlier. Thus, the showdown ended between the people of Texas and the governor, who had urged the moratorium be rejected. It also showed the Feds a thing or two about the American people; threaten them and they fight back.

It appears that this corridor was an important part of the Mexican-ports-to-Canada highway and rail system, which is planned to bring into the United States more cheap goods from foreign companies. Those foreign companies, with the collusion of some Americans, expect to dump their goods on our markets without paying our port fees, or our laborers or truckers. The Mexican portion of the system may still operate, getting these unwelcome imports to our border, but without the Trans Texas Corridor to speed up delivery of these goods beyond that to American markets whether we want them or not. Well, you know who wants them—and I for one don’t go there. I can understand why some people buy there; they can’t afford to go anywhere else. They can’t make ends meet because American jobs are stifled due to this unfair competition and because of greedy companies wanting masses of cheap, illegal labor.
It may also delay the rest of the vast project that would continue the corridor on through other states into Canada. According to World Net Daily, the Texas vote was notable in that “The Federal Highway Administration has threatened Texas with the loss of federal highway funds if the state continues with its legislative plan for a two-year funding moratorium on construction of the Trans-Texas Corridor.”
Now why would the Feds threaten Texans about Texan highway policies? Do you suppose they have better plans for Texas than the Texans? Perhaps the Feds just can’t get foreign goods to our markets quickly enough to ruin more American businesses through unfair competition, including avoiding the U.S. labor and transportation costs. You know, it appears to me that somebody in this government of ours is trying to destroy American businesses, with the exception of a few powerful global corporations.
It would seem that the people of Texas may also have an additional two years to fight the eminent-domain-land-confiscation planned by the foreign consortium on the thousands of acres needed from Texan homeowners to complete the Trans-Texas monster. Perhaps the legislature will consider bills to restrict such tyrannical eminent domain plans. It also gives other states time to go into their own “pre-vent de-fense” by securing their own laws to protect them from hostile takeovers of their sacred land. Remember, a second such corridor is scheduled to go through Arizona.

The bigger question is, will the two year moratorium impinge upon the implementation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership? It is clear that the Trans-Texas Corridor has been stopped by the people, at least temporarily, and at least 16 states so far have joined ranks to oppose this SPP or “North American Union.” Therefore, Congress now has to recognize the situation and do something about it. If they do not stand up and announce their position after this, what good are they?

The people made the difference in Texas. Last year it was a sure thing; this year, it is stopped. For more information and maps and photos, click here. It costs nothing to fight it at our level and to join the ranks of those who are also fighting it. Contact your local party office—it doesn’t matter which party; if one won’t, the other will—or even Corridor Watch (at the above link), and let them know you are interested. If you cannot find a political party office that cares in Arizona, let me know and I will post an email addresses of a central office in Glendale.

This is our country, let’s keep it!
