Mythic

"Let’s be clear – the Trans-Texas Corridor is the NAFTA superhighway.

No one who supports the Trans-Texas Corridor likes to say the words 'NAFTA
superhighway.' They call it an 'urban myth.'

If the NAFTA superhighway is such a myth, why is the Bush administration work-
ing so hard to let Mexican trucks use our highways?

If the NAFTA superhighway is such a myth, why is corporate America holding
summits on the need for a huge network of freight corridors from Mexico to Canada?

If the NAFTA superhighway is such a myth, why is Mexico working with giant cor-
porations to expand its ports and its road and rail connections to the U.S. border?

The reason they say the NAFTA superhighway is a myth is because they know that
the vast majority of Americans don’t want it."
