CFR's Plan to Integrate the U.S., Mexico and Canada by Phyllis Schlafly, July 13, 2005
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has just let the cat out of the bag about what's really behind our trade agreements and security partnerships with the other North American countries. A 59-page CFR document spells out a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community" with a common "outer security perimeter."
"Community" means integrating the United States with the corruption, socialism, poverty and population of Mexico and Canada. "Common perimeter" means wide-open U.S. borders between the U.S., Mexico and Canada. "Community" is sometimes called "space" but the CFR goal is clear: "a common economic space ... for all people in the region, a space in which trade, capital, and people flow freely." The CFR's "integrated" strategy calls for "a more open border for the movement of goods and people."
The CFR document lays "the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America." The "common security perimeter" will require us to "harmonize visa and asylum regulations" with Mexico and Canada, "harmonize entry screening," and "fully share data about the exit and entry of foreign nationals."
This CFR document, called "Building a North American Community," asserts that George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin "committed their governments" to this goal when they met at Bush's ranch and at Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005. The three adopted the "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" and assigned "working groups" to fill in the details. It was at this same meeting, grandly called the North American summit, that President Bush pinned the epithet "vigilantes" on the volunteers guarding our border in Arizona.
A follow-up meeting was held in Ottawa on June 27, where the U.S. representative, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, told a news conference that "we want to facilitate the flow of traffic across our borders." The White House issued a statement that the Ottawa report "represents an important first step in achieving the goals of the Security and Prosperity Partnership."
The CFR document calls for creating a "North American preference" so that employers can recruit low-paid workers from anywhere in North America. No longer will illegal aliens have to be smuggled across the border; employers can openly recruit foreigners willing to work for a fraction of U.S. wages.
Just to make sure that bringing cheap labor from Mexico is an essential part of the plan, the CFR document calls for "a seamless North American market" and for "the extension of full labor mobility to Mexico."
The document's frequent references to "security" are just a cover for the real objectives. The document's "security cooperation" includes the registration of ballistics and explosives, while Canada specifically refused to cooperate with our Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).
To no one's surprise, the CFR plan calls for massive U.S. foreign aid to the other countries. The burden on the U.S. taxpayers will include so-called "multilateral development" from the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, "long-term loans in pesos," and a North American Investment Fund to send U.S. private capital to Mexico.
The experience of the European Union and the World Trade Organization makes it clear that a common market requires a court system, so the CFR document calls for "a permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution." Get ready for decisions from non-American judges who make up their rules ad hoc and probably hate the United States anyway.
The CFR document calls for allowing Mexican trucks "unlimited access" to the United States, including the hauling of local loads between U.S. cities. The CFR document calls for adopting a "tested once" principle for pharmaceuticals, by which a product tested in Mexico will automatically be considered to have met U.S. standards.
The CFR document demands that we implement "the Social Security Totalization Agreement negotiated between the United States and Mexico." That's code language for putting illegal aliens into the U.S. Social Security system, which is bound to bankrupt the system.
Here's another handout included in the plan. U.S. taxpayers are supposed to create a major fund to finance 60,000 Mexican students to study in U.S. colleges.
To ensure that the U.S. government carries out this plan so that it is "achievable" within five years, the CFR calls for supervision by a North American Advisory Council of "eminent persons from outside government . . . along the lines of the Bilderberg" conferences.
The best known Americans who participated in the CFR Task Force that wrote this document are former Massachusetts Governor William Weld and Bill Clinton's immigration chief Doris Meissner. Another participant, American University Professor Robert Pastor, presented the CFR plan at a friendly hearing of Senator Richard Lugar's Foreign Relations Committee on June 9.
Ask your Senators and Representatives which side they are on: the CFR's integrated North American Community or U.S. sovereignty guarded by our own borders.

Already has. He signed it years ago.
Don't be dumb, boy. The Illuminati was many years ago.
There once was a time when I gave Phyllis Schlafly my full respect -- and money -- for the excellent work she did on the issues of national defense, education and women's rights.
But she seems to have turned into a union shill recently. Next thing you know, she's going to start a boycott of Wal-Mart for not paying their employees a "living wage."
This phrase could be repeated dozens, perhaps hundreds of times.
It would be difficult to list all of the ways U.S. taxpayers will be funding their own economic and social decline, but suffice it to say, that among other things, we help fund the International Monetary Fund, which is a major player in building infrastructure in Central and South America to make their countries more competitive with the U.S.
Building transportation infrastructure such as roads, railroads, and seaports will improve their ability to ship raw materials and finished product. Our own tax money (through the IMF) will help guarantee loans to their countries to build factories and assembly plants.
But apparently we don't care about any of that, based on the fact that we don't do anything about it.
We've done fine for a couple of centuries. The oceans have always helped.
The only reason Mexico is a vulnerability is because...it's Mexico, they hate us, and they want our country. Mexico is the problem, not the answer.
PS: it's truly nauseating to hear that Doris Meissner is still walking around free. If everyone recalls, she was the one who decided that illegal aliens had more rights than Americans, and basically dropped all immigration enforcement in the 1990's, leading to 9/11.
Maybe she's concerned with the livelihoods of Americans, not Mexicans, as the alleged leader of the Americans seems to be.
Yes that is true conventionally speaking, though I don't see many conventional wars in the future. If there is I also don't see the Mexican megaforce coming to our rescue or the Canadians building up enough military to matter. I see US being stretched even thinner. Now your point is well taken, about a potential land attack thru Mexico and is something to consider but at this time with the second amendment still in tact (this will amended out of the constitution within a decade of these agreements being implemneted) I think we certainly could lend a hand to our military if such a thing occurred. But its not just about a Military perimeter, its about an economic one first and foremost.
The document is public. Read it yourself. Show us somewhere where she lied.
Good ole john birch society tin foilhatter propaganda
Oh yeah, the Birch society is just totally crazy...right...why, back in 1965, they used to say just crazy things like, "The United Nations is a front for world socialism...". You know, crazy things like that. Or, that the government had hundreds of Communists and Soviet sympathizers in it, which we all knew were just the mad ravings of nutcases like Tailgunner Joe. Why, we had the good authority of men like Lyndon Johnson and Ted Kennedy to tell us it just wasn't true, that all our Public Servants were good and honest men, tried and true Patriots, dedicated to running our lives...er...serving us in only the most selfless manner possible. So it must have been true...a Kennedy said it!
The Party is over. We're too late.
Lou Dobbs wears a tin foil hat? :

Old News, But then no one has been listening for along time now. Do ya really thick anyone will listen now.
If MSM doesn't tell them, then it's not happening.
The timing of all these things is just ....so.... special!
"its not just about a Military perimeter, its about an economic one first and foremost."
You were never more correct in your life. It does cost a lot of money to support the world with just our budget.
Saving the world from terrorists will be even more expensive if we keep f'ing around.
How many 911's do you think we can afford every year the way this adminstration gives out foreign aid. Closing military bases is a sure sign that this adminstration isn't planning on expanding our military forces anytime soon.
Keeping the Border Patrol under funded is a sure sign that securing our borders isn't on the table for discussion either.
NAFTA sure worked out fine ........ for about 40 other countries. CAFTA will be great for Canada, Mexico and the ones South of it. Vaseline will be available at the voting booths for anyone foolish enough to think their vote counts.
Just what is left in the Communist Manifesto that we haven't done yet? Property rights are gone, the queers are living high, guns are going, we are sharing all the latest hi-tech designs with our enemies, the Constitution is a wet rag today, we are supporting the Muslims as best we can, we're supporting everything the UN Charter says to. What more can us infidels do to kill freedom and individual liberty?

Keep looking with your eyes closed and the fall of America will be a real surprise to you.
The only thing this does is lower the standard of living of the American working class and raise the wealth of the investment class, the "elites", the One World Order people, those whom would like to confiscate our guns, now for good reason.
