Whereas the economic and physical security of the United 
States is impaired by the potential loss of control of its 
borders attendant to the full operation of NAFTA; 
Whereas a NAFTA Superhighway System from the west 
coast of Mexico through the United States and into Can-
ada has been suggested as part of a North American 
Union; 
Whereas it would be particularly difficult for Americans to 
collect insurance from Mexican companies which employ 
Mexican drivers involved in accidents in the United 
States, which would increase the insurance rates for 
American drivers; 
Whereas future unrestricted foreign trucking into the United 
States can pose a safety hazard due to inadequate main-
tenance and inspection, and can act collaterally as a con-
duit for the entry into the United States of illegal drugs, 
illegal human smuggling, and terrorist activities; and 
Whereas a NAFTA Superhighway System would be funded 
by foreign consortiums and controlled by foreign manage-
ment, which threatens the sovereignty of the United 
States: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That— 
(1) the United States should not engage in the 
construction of a North American Free Trade 
Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System; 
(2) the United States should not enter into a 
North American Union with Mexico and Canada; 
and

the sovereignty of the United States.
