why do tea baggers always blame everything on the blue collar workers that demand payment for work? the only blue collar workers that tea baggers and
GOP like are the ones that shut up and accept what they are offered w/o complaint, eh? it's always the union's fault!!
p.s. you forgot to get in a dig at jimmy carter for giving away the panama canal!

mtgoat666, I'll never forget Jimmy Carter. He was just a typical Dem president.

Don't knock the jobs! Feel fortunate!
Are they counting all the container drivers who are driving those dilapidated 20 year old truck hauling containers out of the port, at minimum wage?

well not directly, but when this first came about,, the rail
corridor was coming thru the Yuma area and it was ment with alot of push from the area residents at that time
I am just reading between to lines
“This is about our community driving our own destiny,” FitzGerald said. “If rail is going to happen, we want to dictate where. If global markets
continue to shift away from China and more toward Mexico, we want to be well positioned to take part. This is about jobs for our community.”

There is a more likely opportunity for a super terminal in Canada then Mexico.
Volume is not up , it's just been diverted from ports/terminals that have been eliminated.
I love how the press spins things....

The responses have been very interesting indeed! Will it ever happen? Who knows.

While I was in Tucson the past few days visiting my daughter and granddaughter, there was a running story on the local news on how the Tucson city
leaders are working with the Mexican government officials in Sonora to do whatever to turn Guaymas into the import port... There already is a railroad
line from Guaymas north to Tucson, Arizona (via Hermosillo and Nogales). No need to build a new port or a 200+ mile railroad line as in the case of
Colonet to Yuma. The ships would just sail the extra thousand-some miles into Guaymas.

How about a port in Ensenada- La Paz that ships all the goods that are able to go by boat/barge bypassing the truckers having to drive all the way to
La Paz-Cabo. It would save lives and reduce traffic on the Mex. #1.
Most of the traffic heading south from San Quitin is going all the way to La Paz and Cabo.
Turn that fish processing place(kiss me where it stinks) in Ensenada into a container shipping port.
That would be a win-win.

Ensenada allready has a container port that receives goods from the Orient. It
certainly could be expanded but a rail line to ? (TJ, Otay, Tecate or Mexicalli) is another story.

Being the owner of a small business that runs a half dozen diesel rigs every day for delivery I am sad to tell you that CARB (the Cal Air Resource
Bd) has put most of my much more modern rigs into mothballs.
The days of elderly rigs running on our roads in California are gone, or quickly disappearing.
These new regs have cost us a staggering amount of money to update our fleet- a fleet which we kept in excellent condition and which always passed all
the smog and air quality checks. But the bureaucrats just drew a line and said, "sorry boys, you need to go spend the last five year's profits on new
rigs, we don't give a rip if your old ones are in good shape or not. We are the government, we make the rules!"
And, what do you do with a perfectly good diesel that is out of date? I guess you just drive it down to Baja and give it to someone who will make it
work for another 20 years.
