NAFTA Highway – Conspiracy or Reality?

There are still some supporters of presidential candidates who claim that some in the GOP fell for the ‘conspiracy theory’ or ‘hoax’ of the NAFTA Superhighway that Rick Perry was promoting in Texas.. the highway that was being planned until it was stopped by the property owners who were about to have their land taken by eminent domain for the project.



Here is the relevant portion of a speech where Governor Perry was considering bi-national health insurance…

“Legislation authored by border legislators Pat Haggerty and Eddie Lucio establishes an important study that will look at the feasibility of bi-national health insurance. This study recognizes that the Mexican and U.S. sides of the border compose one region, and we must address health care problems throughout that region. That’s why I am also excited that Texas Secretary of State Henry Cuellar is working on an initiative that could extend the benefits of telemedicine to individuals living on the Mexican side of the border.”
