"The administration is rushing to open the border to Mexican-domiciled trucks without assuring their safety and enforcement of the law of the U.S.," said Joan Claybrook, president of Public Citizen. "They can't go rushing forward in opening the border without having explained what their pilot project is."

It is called the incremental method.

Toward a North American Union
By: Patrick Wood
Editor, The August Review

Good evening, everybody. Tonight, an astonishing proposal to expand our borders to incorporate Mexico and Canada and simultaneously further diminish U.S. sovereignty. Have our political elites gone mad?
Lou Dobbs on Lou Dobbs Tonight, June 9, 2005

Introduction

The global elite, through the direct operations of President George Bush and his Administration, are creating a North American Union that will combine Canada, Mexico and the U.S. into a superstate called the North American Union (NAU). The NAU is roughly patterned after the European Union (EU). There is no political or economic mandate for creating the NAU, and unofficial polls of a cross-section of Americans indicate that they are overwhelmingly against this end-run around national sovereignty.

To answer Lou Dobbs, "No, the political elites have not gone mad", they just want you to think that they have.

The reality over appearance is easily cleared up with a proper historical perspective of the last 35 years of political and economic manipulation by the same elite who now bring us the NAU.

This paper will explore this history in order to give the reader a complete picture of the NAU, how it is made possible, who are the instigators of it, and where it is headed.

It is important to first understand that the impending birth of the NAU is a gestation of the Executive Branch of the U.S. government, not the Congress. This is the topic of the first discussion below........snipped

There already Mexican trucks crossing the border each day within the border region. Someone has to transport the goods we buy from Mexico.

Hmmmmm.....I doubt that this will slow down any of the corridors planned in this country for all those trucks from Mexico carrying containers filled with Asian goods.

It's good to hear there's going to be a snag. We just need lots more snags.

SNAG, for lack of a better word, is good. SNAG is right. SNAG works.

But a Senate panel on Thursday voted to delay the plan by requiring the administration to publish details about it and giving the public time to comment on it.

Our "all-American president" is deeply saddened at this news. He knows what Americans think of this outrage upon America, but he doesn't want to hear it, he doesn't care.

I'm first off am going to have to admit that I'm in disagreement which about everyone on the forum on this issue. I think there are some underlining concepts behind this. One is to let the Mexican trucks from only 100 controlled companies into the country, it's not like a 1000 privately owned broken down trucks coming into the country all at once. By allowing the trucks to come further into our country we can move the shipments further to points where the shipment can be broken down in those big warehouses where the US truckers take over. At the current situation what is probably happening is that the trucks are being unloaded from one Mexican truck to a United States truck at an unrighteous cost by the mostly teamster control system. Then the US trucks go down the road a hundred miles or so and then they unload the cargo at the big warehouses and reload the cargo back onto other trucks with other cargo. With the new laws these Mexican trucks are allowed to proceed down the road to the real distribution centers cutting out the middle man just across the boarder.

Another issue, the dollar has been slowly slipping against the Euro. The European countries are working together thus creating a greater economic system then we have. If we don't change our way of doing things and change our way of seeing the situation of the dollar will keep falling and if that keeps happen things will cost more. I think in the long run if we don't create the same system within North America we will end in a lot worse situation economically then we are right now.

It's early in the morning and I might of spelled some stuff wrong. Also I've got to run so any response or flames won't get responded to to the next day or whenever or never.

We don't have enough bad truck drivers here already. Let's add a bunch from a 3rd world country.

You know there is something terribly wrong with a Republican President when the International Brotherhood of Teamsters are the ones on the correct side of an issue!

The EU was formed from developed countries with a common history and no peasant class.

Mexico isn't Germany or Italy for that matter.

It is a hugely corrupt, economically strangled country with terrible law enforcement, huge drug cartels, a vast underclass of illiterates, and so many other factors that make a comparison between the EU and NAU false.

We open ourselves to the NAU, and I predict we will be overwhelmed within a decade.

It isn't about people, it is about the structure of the countries involved. The structures are not the same will not assimilate.
