Calls for speedier regional economic integration between U.S., Mexico
WASHINGTON – The controversial "Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007," which would grant millions of illegal aliens the right to stay in the U.S. under certain conditions, contains provisions for the acceleration of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, a plan for North American economic and defense integration, WND has learned.
The bill, as worked out by Senate and White House negotiators, cites the SPP agreement signed by President Bush and his counterparts in Mexico and Canada March 23, 2005 – an agreement that has been criticized as a blueprint for building a European Union-style merger of the three countries of North America.
"It is the sense of Congress that the United States and Mexico should accelerate the implementation of the Partnership for Prosperity to help generate economic growth and improve the standard of living in Mexico, which will lead to reduced migration," the draft legislation states on page 211 on the version time-stamped May 18, 2007 11:58 p.m.
Since agreement on the major provisions of the bill was announced late last week, a firestorm of opposition has ignited across the country. Senators and representatives are reporting heavy volumes of phone calls and emails expressing outrage with the legislation they believe represents the largest "amnesty" program ever contemplated by the federal government.
In its current form, the bill would offer probationary legal status to the estimated 15 million to 20 million illegal aliens who were in the U.S. before Jan. 1, 2007. Those who then met a series of requirements — including payment of a $5,000 fine and $2,000 in processing fees — could gain citizenship within an estimated 12 to 13 years.

you mean we are going to pre-emptive war with Mexico and S. America?
Are you sure they want to let downt their borders and let us buy property etc????
Oh, I forgot, this is a one way deal, we give everything up and they take it.
SPP Ping!
Some call it “the greater good.”
Of course, most of them are communists. ;-)
2010 is the date the NAU is supposed to become a done deal.
That is less than 3 years now.
a while back, Hitlery quoted Hitler, “ We are going to take things from you for the common good” and she means it. I don’t recall the liberal conspiracy press ever pressing this issue.
BTTT
Treason.
Hmmm....dovetails with this some how..?
ABOLITION OF BRITAIN SET FOR MAY 2009
The Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, has persuaded President
Barroso of Europe to present her “Declaration of Berlin” for all
European Union nations to sign on the 25th March 2007 (now past).
This declaration will commit all nations to sign the sixth and
final EU treaty. This sidesteps a vote of the people - the other
five treaties were signed by the Queen without the consent of the
people.
This final treaty will adopt the EU Constitution. Frau Merkel
wants this signed before the European elections in June 2009.
Britain will then be sealed inside the nation of the European
Union, a dictatorship with the laws of a police state, commanded
by 107,000 EU regulations.
The EU Regionalisation Plan will abolish England’s 48 counties
and replace them with 9 European regions, each with their own
Regional Capital, which reports directly to Brussels, not to
Westminster. The EU constitution will effectively obliterate the
country of England, the monarchy, common law, and the Conservative,
Labour and Lib Dem parties (clause I-46-4).
Britain’s 153 embassies around the world will be closed as the ink
from the Queen’s signature dries. (As Tony Blair refused to admit
this has been agreed to, Jose Zapatero, the Prime Minister of Spain,
confirmed it in a
February 2005 radio broadcast.)
The EU takes ownership and command of Britain’s Police, Army, Royal
Navy, RAF, nuclear weapons, currency reserves, North Sea Oil. (David
Noakes, The Westminster News)
Yeah, yeah, whatever! BUILD THE BORDER FENCE!! No amnesty, no citizenship, no Z Visas, no green cards, no nothing!!
Call your Senators, Congressman, the White House, talk radio, TV stations, newspaper, Aunt Minnie, your neighbors and friends!
WELLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
NOW
we see the reason for the delays and the closed door secrecy with La Raza having veto over any features in the bill.
The globalists/socialists/communists were determined to not do anything in legislation unless and until they could further their global government plans in the same stroke.
And these traitorous idiots still claim to be Americans. What hideousness.
GRRRRR.
Are you sure they want to let downt their borders and let us buy property etc????
Oh, I forgot, this is a one way deal, we give everything up and they take it.
= = =
INDEED.
Jimmuh Peanutbrain Catuh showed us the way by giving the Panama Canal to Panama and . . . China—now with bases on both ends.
Traitorous, duplicitous, globalist idiot.
“...which will lead to reduced migration,...”
Same old NAFTA selling-point lie, again and again!
That doesn't matter any more, because Bush is offering it all to Mexico.
bump
Scuba Teddy must be so proud of himself he could burst.
What a flood of alcohol that would be.
But at least the Senate would be rid of him.
Sadly, there must be legions of globalists all trained and primed to take any fallen idiots places.

YOU GOT THAT ABUNDANTLY RIGHT.
