[cacklinggrackle] Bush's secret union-busting highway

grackle <cacklinggrackle >

 

" Quietly but systematically, the Bush Administration is advancing the

plan to build a huge NAFTA Super Highway, four football-fields-wide,

through the heart of the U.S. along Interstate 35, from the Mexican

border at Laredo, Tex., to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minn.

 

" 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. "
