The NAU is a win-lose-lose situation. The Mexican citizens win, and the US and Canadian citizens lose. It's that simple.
Don't worry about Russia. They will belong to China-Mart on that side of the world.
They'll be lining up fast for 3 squares a day,

I don't think that you've been following the Russian economy lately. It is the fastest growing economy in the world, due in part to its natural resources, but also in no small measure to opening the floodgates of capitalism.

What I'm going to do about it is march right down to my local NAU office and see if they're hiring anybody with my qualifications. I imagine there will be a lot of new government jobs open up when it happens, they'll probably good paying, and with good benefits, too.

Another country is going to own the superhighway? You know this how? Even if this is true, why would that be bad?
Cintra landed first concession Trans-Texas Corridor
Cintra lands the first concession for a toll road in the Trans-Texas Corridor project in the US.
Madrid, Spain - The project represents an investment of approximately 1.3 billion dollars in the construction phase and the concession will run for 50 years. Segments 5 and 6 of State Highway 130 (SH130), which have a total length of 40 miles (64 kilometres), represent an alternative to the highly-congested IH35 between San Antonio and north Austin.
The operation is coherent with Cintra's strategy: profitability, long-term concession, majority stake, and sizeable investment in the world's most developed economy.
Cintra continues to work under its 50-year strategic partnership for the design and planning of the 1,300 km Trans-Texas Corridor. With this project, Cintra will have a stake in companies managing 23 toll roads (3 pending final award) in Europe, North America and Chile; it is also Spain's leading car park operator, managing over 240,000 parking spaces.
