Professor Pastor's remarks before the Foreign Relations Committee are also interesting. This is an eight page .pdf document.
IMHO, if we allow the government to implement this plan, our precious country is doomed. We'll never get it back.
Hit your ping lists please.
I've been saying it for a while now.
"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."
That's strange; I don't require Bush requesting Senate approval for this 'agreement'.
Both parties are working toward the same goal here. Fighting between the parties is smoke and mirrors to keep we the people pointing fingers at the other side as they both work toward the greatest screw job of all time.
"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.'"
Eliminating tariffs on the movement of goods across borders is one thing. Eliminating borders is something completely outside of the concept of free trade.
Americans don't have a social contract with Americans and Mexicans, so it makes no sense to give up sovereignty. Canada is moving towards EU in all but name, and the Mexican government wishes to subvert America, and export poverty.
A better idea would be to roll back the security perimeter, and withdraw from NORAD and NATO. Then, and only then, would these sovereignty challenges stop.
If anyone thought NAFTA and the First Bush administration was anything but Step One of this plan, they are free-trade delusionaries. And the reluctance to close our borders is nothing but Bush Two's contribution.
Do you seriously think there can be any legitimate criticism of our right to control entry to our own country? This is nothing but bureaucratic obfuscation designed to undermine sovereignty. And our "leaders" are complicit.
The weasels have been doing this all along. Once NAFTA proved to be a bust, CFR participants, including the World Bank, realized more had to be done and in such a way as to deceive the American voter. They had the best intentions...rising tide lifts all boats, Third World countries enjoying brighter future, capitalism solves all problems. Unfortunately, the road to you know where is paved with good intentions, and the big brains in the CFR and World Bank never considered the possibility of everybody heading for the US by hook or by crook. Talk about stupid.
Yes, isn't that odd? Nobody asked the American people if they liked this idea. No votes. No open discussion. Not a peep.

A new name and a new flag. (No stars and stripes, no red, white, and blue.) That wouldn't be PC. We'll need to grovel.

The new flag would have to bee all white, as in TOTAL SURRENDER!!!!!!!
How is Canada moving toward the EU? Our economies are tied at the hip there is no way you are right on this one.
We are fortunate in one way. The underside of integration has shown its head already. I don't see how the parties or the media can keep a lid on how, say, La Raza and their people wish to TAKE OVER parts of the U.S.
People still do have the recourse of voting out the bums in time, and going down a different road on North American foreign policy.
The more ugly the illegal demonstrations become in the future, the more groundswell there will be to do something in response.
Too bad, I say, that the imperialism sentiment of 100 years ago isn't around now. If it were, I think a lot of us would be thinking that annexing Northern Mexico would be Step One.

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.The politicos are on a two week break. Supposedly, they will be coming "home" which is supposed to make them more accessible. I'm all for letting them know, in person, exactly how we feel about this.
How about...

You're right. Free trade wherein we are the only ones playing by the "free" rule is nothing more than the redistribution of wealth on an international scale, something some of the same republicans who support this deride when it applies to our own citizens.
Stupid, or intentional, is debatable. But, what they're working toward is a system of elites and servent underclass. With only allegiances to capitalism and not our nation, guess where the majority of Americans lie on their scale of importance.
