My view — based on snippets that I have read here and there — is that the Powers That Be want to construct an Über-State over the next twenty years that will consist of Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
The Über-State must have, in order to really work, complete freedom of movement of its people across all of its internal borders; no internal trade barriers; a common currency; common commercial/civil laws and, eventually, in essence (at least) a common government

Interesting read: "...North American Trusted Traveler Program. All three countries have agreed to create a single, integrated program for North American trusted travelers by 2008."

However, a requirement of der Über-State is that all travel restrictions between Canada, the United States, and Mexico -- including passports etc -- will eventually be eliminated.
