05/27/2008: A caller to the Mike Haymes show asked about a rumor of a super city being contemplated on the El Paso/Juarez border. I did some research and found the 'super city' already exists. The following information seems to indicate that international interests are in play to create the world's largest urban labor center. Organizations like the WORLD TRADE CENTER EL PASO/JUAREZ, THE WORLD BANK, THE PAN-AMERICAN HEALTH ORGANIZATION, CARIBBEAN EPIDEMIOLOGY CENTER, and others all have agendas on creating a manufacturing base larger than any other in the United States, immigration and communicable disease concerns and of course, selling the idea to the world. Check out the Youtube video: CIUDAD JUAREZ MEXICO THE BIG BORDERLAND CITY.EL PASO JUAREZ
From Guestlife: Guide to El Paso/Juarez:
"The City of El Paso is the fifth largest city in Texas and the 23rd largest city in the United States.
The city of Juárez is the fifth largest city in Mexico.
El Paso/Juárez/Las Cruces is the largest International Metroplex in the world with a combined population of about 2.3 million.
White Sands Missile Range covers about 4,000 square miles of Southern New Mexico desert. The southernmost edge of this test range is about 20 miles north of El Paso. The world’s first atomic device was tested there at Trinity site. The Space Shuttle has landed at the range, which is an alternate Shuttle landing site.
Fort Bliss, established in 1848, is the duty station for approximately 12,500 active duty military personnel, while employing over 7,000 civilians, and has a land mass of over 1.1 million acres. The economic impact of Fort Bliss on El Paso is more than $1 billion, making it the largest single industry in El Paso.
Being in the westernmost tip of Texas, and due to the huge size of the state, El Paso is closer to five other state capitals than it is to its own capital of Austin, Texas. "
From the WORLD TRADE CENTER OF EL PASO/JUAREZ
"The El Paso - Juarez region is situated midway along the 2,000 miles of the United States and the Republic of Mexico international border, where the boundaries of Mexico, Texas, and New Mexico intersect. El Paso and Ciudad Juarez form the largest community on the U.S./Mexico border, and possibly on any border. El Paso is the 22nd largest city in the U.S. and Juarez is the 4th largest in Mexico. This major metropolitan area has a combined population of more than 2 million people and enjoys a bi-cultural atmosphere unique to any other areas.
The economies of El Paso and Juárez have been and continue to be interdependent and interlocked. The two economies depend on each other and rely heavily on trade and customers from the other side of the border. The advent of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) of 1994 has opened a window of opportunity for this community. One of our main goals is to assist local businesses in gathering maximum benefits from this legislation and to realize the benefit of offering goods and services on a world market.
Many major industries are located in the El Paso/Juarez region, with around 320 manufacturing plants or "maquiladoras" operating in Cd. Juarez.
The El Paso/Cd. Juarez region is the second most important border for US-Mexican trade - more than 33 billion dollars were traded through this port of entry in 2000. Trade activity between Texas and Mexico has mainly been dominated by automotive vehicles and their components, as well as electronic equipment and components.
Why Santa Teresa?
Santa Teresa is the new gateway into Juarez or Chihuahua Mexico. Northbound, it is a simple access to adjoining Interstates, I-10 and I -25.
Strategic location:
Santa Teresa Port of Entry is a simple gate way to Interstate 10 and Interstate 25. It is located 12 miles from El Paso, TX. Traveling north from Mexico, it is the hub to the New Mexico industrial park and a less congested route to the El Paso industrial parks via the interstate connections.
Infrastructure:
Santa Teresa Port Of Entry is the only port in the Paso del Norte region authorized for vehicle exports and/or oversized cargo shipments. The largest livestock crossing facilities are located at Santa Teresa. It is located 25 minutes from the El Paso International Airport and the Juarez International Airport. A cargo airport is located at Santa Teresa as well.
State Government Investment Incentives:
New Mexico government has many incentives for companies locating in Santa Teresa or anywhere in the state. For example, equipment and manufacturing salaries are considered for tax initiatives.
New Mexico Amenities:
Traveling northbound through the Santa Teresa POE, you may stop in Sunland Park Casino and Racetrack only 8 miles east. There are many quaint restaurants with the ambiance of varied foods. You may also visit the Stateline Bar-B-Q Steak House which is literally on the state line of New Mexico and Texas. Further north, approximately 50 miles, is Las Cruces, the second largest city in New Mexico. There are many sites to visit in Las Cruces, beginning with the Old Towne Mesilla, which houses many specialty shops from jewelry to art work. Interstate 25 will connect you to Interstate 70 which leads you to the beautiful resort town of Ruidoso with horseracing, gambling and skiing. "
Since Alamogordo is so close to the world's largest metro-plex, wouldn't it make sense to try to lure some of those metroplexinites to town with some sort of tourism event. White Sands National Monument does not seem to be filling that need.

The information on this website appears to focus on the health of Caribbean nations and communicable disease.
Continuing with a Google search of the El Paso/Juarez metroplex, I found this site:
“SECURITY SOLUTIONS FOR SECURITY MANAGERS”

I found a link to a site named Hyperborder on the World Trade Center El Paso/Juarez site.
Hperborder.com (website no longer exists, but I found a pdf file on rejuvenation of the European Union came up on a google search of the website). Read this document. I posted it in the comments section of this post. It covers a plan to deal with graying populations, migration to replace lack of labor and illegal immigration in Europe. Interesting find for a link on the World Trade Center El Paso/Juarez website.

This was a brief search for the super city on the border. In the global pitch video there are three dynamics to this region that are purposely omitted.
1. Water for the future
2. Illegal immigration
3. The SECURITY AND PROSPERITY PARTNERSHIP highway.
And finally this. I thought the readers would get a chuckle out of this picture.
