Interesting thread.

I don't fear highways. I think this is needed. There are some aspects of how it's being done that are troubling but I don't see any cause for hysteria.

Those of us who have driven portions of the new Texas 130 freeway, which is an integral part of the "NAFTA Freeway", can attest to the fact that it's simply a good road that helps you bypass the mess of congestion on I-35. Land speculators are gobbling up property all along the route where this road is completed, planned, or under construction. So what?

We already buy tons of stuff from Mexico, so why should it upset people that there is a massive construction process under way to help get goods in and out of that country? I really don't get why people are so freaked out about it, unless they're listening to Alex Jones all day. And if you're doing that, then you've already tossed reason out the window. Buena suerte, amigos.
