true

well. probably true. I hope not, but hope is a cruddy foundation for international politics.

I cannot help but think that apublic and civilian delegation to the Israelis on such an errand as I propose (stole from another acerbic FReeper) would EMBARRASS THE HELL out of some folks, and perhaps make them break cover.

beating the grasses sometimes works. so does setting them alight.

Canada lets everyone in; I'd be concerned about terrorists coming in on that border, also.

Yeah, what I like about this (not) is that these same bastards don't see anything wrong with open borders. If it's a good idea, then it's a good idea to slam down on our own borders NOW, without other nations userping our sovereignty. Who'd a thunk it?

California was also a Republic that "joined". While it was only a stand alone republic for some 24 or so hours, it was still a nation before it joined.

Will Los Angeles be the capital of the "Aztlan Autonomous Region of North America?"

He was the president of the UCLA chapter of MEChA, which calls for the Southwest to become "Aztlan."

Note that the MEChA eagle is holding a lit bundle of dynamite. I guess that's a "peaceful" bundle of lit dynamite it's ready to drop on....somebody.

Frankly, I think we have Quislings at many levels molding our national policy.

Quisling: a synonym for "traitor", someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country.

The North American Security Perimeter was the subject discussed by Bush, Fox, and Martin in March at Crawford. It was also discussed by Condi in her trip to Mexico, prior to that.

"This free movement of all citizens within North America would amount to a merger of the labor markets in the three countries, thus driving down wages and salaries in the US and Canada while raising personal income in Mexico. "

Yup! Sounds exactly like a section of my International Economics textbook.

"Equalization of factor prices."

Was that supposed to have been "spanning" or "spanking". ;-)

S/b "spanning"; thanks for the correction.

Discussing security for the three countries and the ways we can cooperate to do that is a good thing to discuss. What this taskforce is suggesting is something else, a relaxation of national borders between the countries. Quite different.

Read this.

http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200203/ldselect/ldeucom/133/13305.htm

It sounds like our border problems. (It's the EU proposed solution) It obvious we've been set up, when you read it.

In another report I read where some govts. in the EU don't like the idea of joint BP, because foreign police would be able to arrest or detain citizens on their own soil.

No question, joint borders means no borders. Whether it's the EU or the "NAU."

One of the main reasons for establishing perimeter security is to allow a relaxation on national border security so that the freight will move quicker.

It should be noted that Lugar has introduced a bill to include Central America in the perimeter security.

Another of the main reasons behind this is to allow US interdiction forces to operate in Mexico. This has always been the key for intervention of terrorists, drugs, and illegals. Mexico has resisted this because of sovereignty reasons but said that they would go along if the US would reform immigration policies.

I don't have any problem with wanting to move freight more quickly. We want to make sure it's legitimate and not a threat of course, but speeding the process up is desirable.

I'd prefer better relations with our border neighbors, but Mexico is full of corruption at all levels of the government, and Canada is run by Ted Kennedy-type liberals.

You can't trust either one.

Screw what Mexico wants.

How's that sound?

If your next door neighbor was constantly breaking into your yard and home stealing your stuff would you elect to tear down your fence, share your home and start paying for theirs?

You might.

I would build a better fence and kill trespassers. This activity would only last until they quit trespassing or ran out of people to trespass.

I do see one positive. Mexico has their military on their southern border with orders to shoot to kill. Maybe they can impress this philosophy on our government.
