Law firm represents consortia funding NAFTA-related routes
Questions are being raised over Republican presidential candidate
Rudy Giuliani’s policy on terrorism, after a report revealed he has
strong ties to two foreign investment consortia working to own or
lease U.S. toll roads, including the Trans-Texas Corridor 35, which
is identified as part of the I-35 "NAFTA Superhighway."
Although he opposed NAFTA in 1993, Giuliani recently declined to
call for building a fence on the United States border with Mexico,
and he has supported a guest-worker program.
Columnist Michelle Malkin also has documented that while mayor of
New York City, Giuliani kept the municipality a sanctuary city for
illegal aliens, adhering to a policy first established by Mayor Ed
Koch in 1989.
Now comes a new report about Giuliani’s involvement with
public-private-partnership projects that include NAFTA Superhighway
funding and his open borders record on immigration questions, all of
which could undermine his otherwise tough policy on terrorism that
has resulted from the 9/11 role Giuliani played in managing New York
City’s response to the attacks on the World Trade Center.
Giuliani’s Houston-based law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, is
identified by the Texas Department of Transportation as the sole law
firm representing Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de
Transporte, S.A., the Spanish investment consortium that has joined
with Zachry Construction Company in San Antonio on the TTC project.
WND previously reported that TTC-35 is the new
four-football-fields-wide car-truck-train-pipeline corridor to be
built parallel to the existing I-35 as the Texas segment of the
emerging Mexico-to-Canada I-35 NAFTA Superhighway.
Bracewell & Giuliani also has advised Cintra on the
completion of the Comprehensive Development Agreement negotiated
with Texas to develop State Highway 121 into a toll road through
Collin and Denton counties.
The state highway department also gave Cintra a 50-year
concession to operate SH 121 as a toll road, with Cintra agreeing to
pay $2.1 billion upfront and annual lease payments totaling $700
million. read
