Referred to the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit.
This resolution is a nonbinding statement passed by Congress expressing the view that the United States should not build a NAFTA Superhighway or enter a North American Union. It asks the President to indicate strong opposition to those projects and to further regulatory steps that the resolution says would threaten U.S. sovereignty. The text does not change law, create enforceable obligations, or direct agencies to take specific legal actions. In practice it records and publicizes Congresss position but does not itself block construction or regulations.
A concurrent resolution is adopted by both the House and the Senate but is not sent to the President and does not become law. It is used to state Congresss collective opinion or coordinate internal congressional actions rather than to impose binding legal requirements.
This concurrent resolution expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should not build a proposed NAFTA “Superhighway” nor enter a North American Union with Mexico and Canada.
It criticizes the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) and SPP-related regulatory coordination as threats to U.S. sovereignty, border security, and economic interests.
It cites concerns about trade deficits, cross-border trucking safety, insurance, smuggling, and foreign control of infrastructure.
As a non-binding concurrent resolution it cannot create law; adoption by both chambers is possible but uncertain given partisan/ideological framing.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward, non‑binding expression of congressional sense that clearly states its concerns and desired outcomes but provides minimal operational detail, no fiscal analysis, and no accountability mechanisms, which is consistent with the character and expectations of a symbolic concurrent resolution.
