WASHINGTON – While several members of Congress have denied any knowledge of efforts to build "NAFTA superhighways" or move America closer to a union with Mexico and Canada, four members of the House have stepped up to sponsor a resolution opposing both initiatives.
Rep. Virgil Goode Jr., R-Va., has introduced a resolution – H.R. 487 – designed to express "the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union (NAU) with Mexico and Canada."
"Now that Congress is preparing to take up the issues of the North American Union and NAFTA superhighways, we are moving out of the realm where critics can attempt to disparage the discussion as 'Internet conspiracy theory,'" explained Jerome Corsi, author and WND columnist who has written extensively on the Security and Prosperity Partnership – the semisecret plan many suspect is behind the efforts to create a European Union-style North American confederation and link Mexico and Canada with more transcontinental highways and rail lines. "This bill represents a good first step."
Corsi explained to WND that the Bush administration is trying to create the North American Union incrementally, under the radar scope of public attention.
"Even today," said Corsi, SPP.gov has a 'Myths vs. Facts' section that denies the administration is changing laws or working to create a new regional government. Unfortunately, the many references on SPP.gov to Cabinet-level working groups creating new trilateral memoranda of understanding and other trilateral agreements makes these denials sound hollow."
The resolution introduced by Goode had three co-sponsors: Reps. Thomas Tancredo, R-Colo., Ron Paul, R-Texas, and Walter Jones, R-N.C.
The "whereas" clauses of the resolution lay out the case against the North American Union and NAFTA Superhighways as follows:
Whereas, according to the Department of Commerce, United States trade deficits with Mexico and Canada have significantly widened since the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA);
Whereas the economic and physical security of the United States is impaired by the potential loss of control of its borders attendant to the full operation of NAFTA;
Whereas a NAFTA Superhighway System from the west coast of Mexico through the United States and into Canada has been suggested as part of a North American Union;
Whereas it would be particularly difficult for Americans to collect insurance from Mexican companies which employ Mexican drivers involved in accidents in the United States, which would increase the insurance rates for American drivers;
Whereas future unrestricted foreign trucking into the United States can pose a safety hazard due to inadequate maintenance and inspection, and can act collaterally as a conduit for the entry into the United States of illegal drugs, illegal human smuggling, and terrorist activities;
Whereas a NAFTA Superhighway System would be funded by foreign consortiums and controlled by foreign management, which threatens the sovereignty of the United States. The resolution calls for the House of Representatives to agree on three issues of determination:
The United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System;
The United States should not enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada; and
The President should indicate strong opposition to these or any other proposals that threaten the sovereignty of the United States. "As important as this resolution is," Corsi said, "we need still more congressional attention. Where is congressional oversight of SPP? We need congressional hearings, not just congressional resolutions."
H.Con.Res.487 has been referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and to the Committee on Internal Relations for consideration prior to any debate that may be scheduled on the floor of the House of Representatives.
Now that the the new super duper highway is being built, and some see it as a conspiracy, it is only natural to combine and ridicule the two conspiricies and say that the chinese on the border will use the new highway to invade.
This article, which is only a couple of months old, also brings up the threat of the chinese troops in Mexico.
Darn, I thought my mocking was very stealthy but you picked up on it right away. Bravo!
That article, which is nothing more than ridiculous ramblings on a website, is not evidence of anything except that people can post ridiculous stuff on a website.
Yes, I'm proud to point out your stupidity.
For you or me, yes. But for some, it is proof that there are plans to destroy the nation.
My husband agreed that they had expired and that he had stopped in at the Jo. Co., KS DMV to give them the complete information required I.D. photo but that the wait was longer than he had at that time during business hours.
He asked whether or not he was getting a warning ticket but the officer told him that he had been writing tickets for the violation and that he couldn't give him just a warning.
My husband then pointed to all of the obvious illegal aliens gathering in the parking lot and inquired as to whether the officer was checking on their car tags and legal status.
The officer stated, and I now quote, "This Is America and we don't give tickets to immigrants and besides that, I'm not trained to do that."
Is this yet another job that ordinary Americans refuse to do, as politicians tell us?
As if that conversation wasn't bad enough, this afternoon I spent at least 45 minutes at the DMV in Mission, KS (Lamar at Martway). It was the most unsettling experience I have had since I got my driver's license renewed, this past June across the street at the Jo. Co. Driver's License office and observed one woman ushering 8 or 9 persons of questionable immigrant status, through the maze of applying for their driver's license. This woman translated each step for these people, helped during their filling out of paper work, etc.
This afternoon was much, much worse, however, probably due to the time and the conditions I experienced while I observed what was going on at the Jo. Co., KS DMV.
I shall attempt to make this somewhat short but as I am truly incensed at each and every elected official, regardless of party and regardless of City, County, State and most especially, U.S.
I was surrounded at the Jo. Co., KS DMV by hoards of illegal aliens speaking Spanish, many with a minimum of 4 children in tow. We "Anglos" were clearly out numbered by all of the non-English speaking people. They were all there to get their Jo. Co., KS license tags, car inspections, not to mention of in and out of WIC program office.
Certainly this is what our national leaders have done to us but this means that each illegal alien getting car tags, first got their driver's license (in Spanish good for 6 years) from the Jo. Co., KS License Office, their insurance from some (presumably from some "U. S. Insurance" Company), and now their car tags giving them driver's and tags on cars that they, presumably own.
In so doing, one can only assume they are also signing up for all things government, including the RIGHT TO VOTE (for which ever politician supports this taxpayer funded giveaway of not only our country but financial largess)!!!
I'm not going to give up until I find out exactly who, in our city, county, State and U.S. government has passed such unlawful acts in the dead of night. Party loyalty or no, I will not stop until I get that person or persons removed from the ballot.
great read #162 bump ping
