How did he miss covering this?
"What I'm saying is that a crisis is an event which can force democratic governments to make difficult decisions like those that will be required to create a North American Community," he said. "It's not that I want another 9/11 crisis, but having a crisis would force decisions that otherwise might not get made.".
Can you say Hegelian dialectic? I knew you could.

What is your opinion about importing cheap labor from Mexico?

Imported how?

Making fools of fools is something I take very seriously.
The only one looking the fool is you. Please, carry on, with my regards.

” the proposal might bring in cheap exports “

...which would hold down inflation and take some of the pressure off our extremely low unemployment. That’s why the unions and Pat Buchanan hate it.

He'll try diversion and childish retorts at every instance.
I get it, narrow roads are good, wide roads are evil.
You're out of the nut job club for sure.
Slave wages? Is that like jumbo shrimp?
Imported how?

Do you see what I was talking about SittinYonder? That's just since I got on this thread.

Imported in the form of “guest” workers and Mexican truckers used to transport goods. They work cheaper and all.

I don't trust the government to set up a guest worker program that would work.

and Mexican truckers used to transport goods.

As long as they know how to drive and drive safe trucks, I have no problem with them. I have no problem with Canadian truckers either.

Do you have a problem with German airlines flying into America with German pilots?

Tell me again why a wider road is worse than a narrower road.

If we bring a bunch of them into the country to fly for other airlines because they will work for a much smaller wage and the planes they fly are unsafe, yes.

Are we doing that with pilots or truckers?

Yes! No NAU thread is complete without a fancy color picture.

I’m not sure what the Yellow arrows are supposed to represent, but this is awesome.

And I’m really not sure what purpose it serve to have Churchill, Canada on the map, but it’s a nice touch.

I suppose it will be truckers in this scenario.

We need the rickity trucks from south of the border, though. American truckers make too high of a wage. Might get in the way of cheap stuff.

You’re right.

No more highways! No more roads!

Robert Pastor is a nobody.

I should know. I am the one in charge of the NAU conspiracy.

You may call me Emperor AmishDude.

The idea of the NAU is so manifestly stupid that arguing against it is like arguing against pixies in the garden. If someone is so delusional as to believe in pixies, nothing like evidence will convince him that it won’t happen.

That’s why, when this first came out, I decided the NAU would be a great idea and I got to the head of the conspiracy.

Mwahahahahaha (official evil laugh of the NAU conspiracy).
