Cemex, a huge Mexican owned company which manufactures, concrete, cement, asphalt, and concrete pipe, has bought out the Rinker Group and is now one of the largest suppliers in the world. The acquisition resulted from a hostile takeover and gives Cemex over 100 locations in Arizona alone.

A Mexican company is now the largest supplier of ready mix concrete and cement in the USA !! Our global economy at it's best. Thank you Global George and your CFR friends !!

See article: http://www.concreteconstruction.net/ind ... eID=512442

Now we find out, from a very reliable source who lives on the Arizona border and is employed in this industry, that

Cemex will not allow any of its locations to bid on any construction project which relates to border security on the Arizona/Mexico border !!

Could this practice be a result of pressure from a Mexican government doing its best to ensure the easiest possible access for millions of illegal aliens streaming across the border into Arizona?

Could it be the influence of the Gulf Drug Cartel, which is also based in Monterrey, Mexico? Certainly they have the money, power, and incentive to interfere with our efforts to secure the border.

Whatever the reason, it certainly will have the approval of John McCain. That lying worm.

This practice is wrong and needs to be exposed. Cemex belongs at the very top of all boycott lists.

Look at all their locations in Arizona alone: http://www.rinkermaterials.com/location ... T_AZ.shtml While you're there, take a look at Florida. The profit from every sale they make goes back to the elite in Mexico who could care less about their working class, and we keep hearing how poor Mexico is.

Please pass this on and encourage a boycott of these Reconquista invaders

Mexican cement giant CEMEX S.A.B. de CX, after five months of wrangling, has reached a tentative acquisition agreement with Sydney- based rival Rinker Group Ltd. for $15.3-billion. The hostile cash tender takeover creates one of the world's largest construction material suppliers with $23.2-billion in annual revenue, and over 67,000 employees in 50 countries.

On April 10, Rinker said that it would recommend accepting Monterrey-based CEMEX's latest offer of $15.85-per-share, giving it a 90% ownership stake. The bid marks a 22% premium over the CEMEX's original offer of $13-a-share made on Oct. 26, which Rinker's board rejected.

Rinker has had a presence in Southern Nevada for over 50 years, with eight aggregate and 12 concrete locations, plus a concrete block, pipe and storm water operation. Rinker provided 800,000 cu yards of concrete for Turnberry Place and 70,000 cu yards of precast concrete for the Spaghetti Bowl. Currently, the firm is working on MGM Mirage's $7-billion, 18-million-sq-ft Project CityCenter.

The Department of Justice, however, is requiring CEMEX to divest 39 ready mix concrete, concrete block, and aggregate facilities in Florida and Arizona as part of the deal. The assets are valued between $300-million to $500-million. The DOJ said the acquisition would result in increased prices for concrete block for customers in those areas since CEMEX and Rinker account for more than 60% of concrete block sales.

CEMEX (NYSE: CX) is already the largest US supplier of ready mix concrete and cement, And the seventh largest aggregate supplier. The company had $18.2-billion in global sales in 2006, of which 25% came from its Houston-based U.S. operations, CEMEX Inc. Rinker (RIN.AX, NYSE: RIN), meanwhile, is the second largest U.S. supplier of ready mix concrete, and the fifth largest Aggregate supplier. The company last year had about $4 billion in sales, of which 80% came from its West Palm Beach, Fla.-based U.S. subsidiary, Rinker Materials Corp.
