Joint security perimeter for North America by 2010: report

WASHINGTON - The leaders of Canada, Mexico and the United States will discuss a plan to beef up continental security and speed up movement across their borders when they meet next week.

A report calls for the creation of a common economic and security community by the end of the decade. The document's proposals would try to create a secure perimeter around the continent, while making it easier for people and goods to move across the shared borders.

The proposals contained in the report are expected to be a part of the discussions when Prime Minister Paul Martin and Mexican President Vicente Fox meet with U.S. President George W. Bush at his ranch in Crawford, Texas.

The report was jointly sponsored by the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations, the Canadian Council of Chief Executives and the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations.

Among its chief recommendations:

Unified visa and refugee regulations.

Joint inspection of container traffic at ports.

An integrated terror watch list.

Biometric border passes to allow freer movement at borders and customs sites.

Joint energy and natural resources strategies.

A strategy to stimulate Mexican economic development.

If the three leaders manage to agree in principle to some of the report's recommendations, further discussions would be required to hammer out the details.

Greater continental integration could be opposed in all three countries. A North American economic community could make some Canadians nervous about the country's sovereignty.

Mexicans could worry about a U.S. grab of natural resources.

Some Americans, on the other hand, could be concerned about their partners' commitment to continental security.

The task force that prepared the report was chaired by former deputy prime minister John Manley, former Mexican finance minister Pedro Aspe and former Massachusetts governor William Weld.

You've got that right!

I too, smell the stench of Bohemian Grove where politicians, businessmen, and foreign bigwigs meet and perform occult rituals to the granite owl of Molech while wearing black and red robes and God only knows what else they do.

Since the secretive, and I think conspiratorial, Council on Foreign Relations is holding the talks you can bet that its to further its aim of destroying the United States as a sovereign nation and forcing us into first a regional and ultimately a world government.

I think there is more in this story than you can eat in one setting. You will have to eat slow to relish every NEW WORLD ORDER morsel.

There's more than enough to go around.

[NRA2BFree]

We are so DOOMED!! Bush is one of
the BIGGEST globalists I've ever seen. I KNEW he was going to go for open borders when I saw that he was meeting with Martin and Fox.

[Ben Ficklin]

Wow, this is an impressive thread. With 123 replies, you know it is a major issue.

You deserve a lot of credit for bumping it 57 times, almost half the total.

Confidentially, I am concerned that the others are not pulling their weight.

Happy2BMe only bumped it 16 times; JanetGreen only bumped 10 times. Several others of the usual crowd only bumped 5 times each.

If these individuals had been doing their share, this thread could easily have gone to 300 replies.

We won't even defend our own borders - why waste time discussing defending the continent?

=======================

I see you are somewhat of an accountant - a mathmetician perhaps - good with numbers maybe.

Add this one up:

One America minus Both (2) of her borders equals One Third World Nation.

United States of the North America?

Late bump

[dljordan]

Don't care much for sovreignity then do you? I don't think it would be "interesting" at all to merge with Mexico. Corruption, crime, drugs, disease is not what we want more of. The only people to benefit are the financial and political elites and they really don't give a crap about the rest of us.

IMO, you all also consider the man below part of the evil cabal as well.

Proposed concept behind NAFTA in 1979 Reagan himself was a dreamer, capable of imagining a world without trade barriers. In announcing his presidential candidacy in Nov. 1979, he had proposed a “North American accord” in which commerce & people would move freely across the borders of Canada & Mexico. This idea, largely overlooked or dismissed as a campaign gimmick in the US, rankled nationalist sensibilities in the neighboring nations. But Reagan was serious in his proposal. Though he traveled only once outside the North American continent during his first 57 years, he was neither insular nor isolationist. California has windows to the world in Asia, and Reagan thought of the US as a Pacific power as well as an Atlantic one. He also had a Californian’s consciousness of Mexico and an actor’s appreciation of Canadians, who are well-represented in the film community. The dream of a North American accord would drive the successful pursuit of a US-Canadian free trade agreement and a future-oriented “framework” trade agreement with Mexico Source: [X-ref immigration] The Role of a Lifetime, p. 461 Jul 2, 1991

I don't deny President Reagan initiated the concept behind NAFTA but I do reject that he envisioned the United States to ever become one national entity with Mexico and Canada - especially one where the sovereignty of America would be overrun.

I pose this question to you then:

What will become of the Constitution of The United States of America once America merges into the new, bilateral nation you and other open-border lobbyists proponents are fighting for?

Where did I ever say it was to become a bi-lateral nation. I haven't.

JMO, I would rather follow the vision of Ronald Reagan, than Pat Buchanan.

Please pass that sentiment as convincingly as possible to President George W. Bush. A revisit to his roots would do him good.

George W. Bush is following in Ronald Reagan's footsteps.

[Happy2BMe]

Ronald Reagan would look the other way while America was being overrun by twenty million illegal migrants (at the acute expense of legal citizens)?

Oh, really.

He granted real amnesty to them in 1986. I'm not here to get in a shouting match with you, I will let Ronald Reagan's vision stand for itself.

[hedgetrimmer]

Yes you're right. Reagan had an amnesty plan that unleashed at least 20 million illegal aliens on our schools systems, health care systems, housing supply, infrastructure, tax liability and penal system. He also promised it was the last amnesty the American people would also suffer through. Its been just great for California and our schools are second to none now.

Bush has an amnesty plan too. Maybe those 70 million people the CFR says wants to come to the US from Mexico will take advantage of it. Yes, I would say Bush is following Reagans footsteps on this one.
