Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-Colorado) says the government of Mexico is building a massive port on its Pacific coast that appears to have one major purpose -- to bring in cheap Chinese goods destined for U.S. consumers.

Tancredo is concerned that the Bush administration is pushing forward with trade agreements that will effectively erase the borders separating Mexico, the U.S., and Canada. Recently the Colorado Republican criticized the administration's new policy that grants Mexican trucks broad access to U.S. roadways, rather than having to transfer cross-border shipments to American trucks. On top of that, Tancredo says Mexican officials want to apparently squeeze out U.S. ports from the lucrative Chinese shipping.
"Construction of the largest deep water port on the Pacific is being constructed near Sinaloa, Mexico -- and it will rival any port we have in the United States along the West Coast in California, for instance, in terms of its capacity," he states. "And what we're already seeing, by the way, is a significant increase in trade coming through there from China into Mexico."
And Tancredo says he is concerned about a perplexing photo he saw from the area. "I remember seeing a satellite photo of a train that was coming from that port, from Sinaloa actually, and coming north toward the United States and it had Chinese military on the train itself and it had tarps on top of whatever the cargo was," he says.
Tancredo maintains that the Democrat-controlled Congress will do nothing to stop the Bush administration's goal of creating a transportation corridor that stretches from the U.S.-Mexico border to the U.S.-Canada border -- or what critics refer to as a "NAFTA superhighway."

Wonder why we haven't heard more about this on the news.

I understand that the port is indeed being built to bring in chinese goods ment for the US.
The idea being is that they will circumvent the high dollar union long shore labor here in the US for cheep Mexican labor.

Also why governor good hair has been pushing the trans texas corridor land grab deal.

I dont know why we've not heard more either. I did a search on it and couldn't come up with much, but then again I'm on dial up.

"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government." ---George Washington, 1793

Seems like our leaders need to brush up on their history!
