Ron,
That's pretty much the truth. NAFTA popped up* in Bush Sr.'s administration, passed in Clinton's and is forging ahead in this one. So it's not a partisan shellacking that we're taking. So the majority of congress is to blame.
Then on the other hand there are those that would conserve the middleclass. My own state senator, Byron Dorgan, has tried his best according to his voting record. He may be a Democrat... but he's no far left liberal. He has to make sense to win election.
North Dakota has been a firm Republican state ever since the party was still actually conservatives. Dorgan has a book out called "Take This Job and Ship It" that details many of the latest scams by both major political parties. (

* The first roots of NAFTA are probably in the Great Game like Jamo says.

Luckily I live in another county about 35 miles south of there. I moved from Independence to the farmland as soon as I got home from the Army.

Bernie,
Then it's probably just as well they won't be using US citizens as train crew.
I understand it is scary enough in yards like L.A. etc. that nobody wants to ever stop moving... or, God forbid, check on condition of the train by walking back when it is stopped.
Then again armed KC Federales won't be hampered by US law during resource protection enforcement like they are in LA.
Don't know how safe 35 miles is. All these foreign citizens gotta live someplace with their newfound wages. Why live in a Cu Chi tunnel when there are great neighborhoods for sale above ground? Glad I live in ND sometimes. Forty below helps keep the riff-raff out. Except for coming global warming of course.
