Oklahoma Recalls Bill That Would Have Facilitated NAFTA
Superhighway
The Oklahoma State Senate voted to recall a bill that would
have further facilitated plans for the NAFTA Superhighway to run
through the state. There were fears that parts of Bill 1507, which
dealt with Foreign Trade Zones, were tied to the superhighway which is
to extend from Mexico to Canada. There were also concerns that this
would lead to private property seizures through eminent domain. This
is already taking place in parts of rural Texas with the construction
of the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC), which is to be the first leg of
this superhighway infrastructure.
Some have argued that Bill 1507 would have allowed for the
creation of foreign owned smart ports. This would have allowed for
imported goods to pass through the U.S./Mexican border without going
through customs until Oklahoma . This follows in the same line as
other proposed inland ports, such as the one in Kansas City. The NAFTA
Superhighway will be a borderless open transportation system that will
further facilitate the flow of cheap goods from China. Oklahoma has
already passed legislation to stop the TTC from coming through the state.
The NAFTA Superhighway is the necessary infrastructure needed
for the creation of a North American Union. It will serve as a highway
for cheap Chinese goods and cheap labor from Mexico and Latin America.
It will untimely benefit multinational corporations, who view borders
as barriers to trade and greater profits. Last year, Rep. Virgil
Goode, R-Va., introduced a House resolution that stated congressional
opposition to the construction of a superhighway or entry into North
American Union.
The link from the Mexican border to Oklahoma is to be the
highest priority, and has been branded the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC).
If completed, it would encompass more than 4,000 miles. It is being
financed by the Spanish company Cintra, who will lease and operate it
as a toll road. It is set to have 1,200-foot corridors with separate
lanes for passenger vehicles and large trucks, and room for future
upgrades. Opposition to the TTC is growing, and for the second
straight year, ranchers and other opponents marched on the Texas state
capital in protest. Some might recall that in a blatant effort to try
and stifle opposition, a company with close ties to Cintra purchased
many local newspapers from towns that fall in the TTC's path. The TTC
is part of the NAFTA Superhighway, and is proof of further integration
into a North American Union.
In January of this year, Texas Congressman and Republican
Presidential candidate Ron Paul filed a bill in the House of
Representatives to prevent the TTC from receiving federal dollars. He
was also very concerned and wanted to prevent the loss of private land
through eminent domain. The TTC will see upwards of 584,000 acres of
prime farm and ranch land lost, with up to a million people displaced
through this practice.
The recalling of this bill by the Oklahoma State Senate is
another small and maybe even temporary victory in the struggle to stop
the NAFTA Superhighway and the North American Union. Nevertheless, it
is encouraging that citizens concerns in regards to this issue are
being echoed by more and more legislators. Many states have already
passed anti-North American Union and anti-NAFTA Superhighway
resolutions. The NAFTA Superhighway is a threat to private property,
our sovereignty, and security.
