Pro-Immigration Forces Back North American Union

America is finished.

Mexico and Canada are gone too.

In their place: One massive country, the North American Union (NAU), bordered by the Bering Sea to the north and Guatemala to the south, the Atlantic to the east and the Pacific to the west.

NAU citizens no longer spend dollars or salute Old Glory. They spend "ameros," and the flag that waves over its capitals shows the entire Western Hemisphere.

The national borders of the United States have been forever erased. While that scenario may sound far-fetched, critics of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) warn that future could be here sooner than anyone realizes.

President Bush, Mexican President Vincente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin informally agreed to set up the SPP in 2005.

Not so well known is the fact that supporters of the NAU concept slipped an initiative into the recently defeated immigration reform act. Largely unnoticed amidst the amnesty furor that ultimately sunk the Immigration Bill was the statement, "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."

The bill called for measures to boost the economy of Mexico, including:

# U.S. support for Mexico, to strengthen its education and training programs.

# A call for better health care for "poor and underserved" people in Mexico.

# And U.S. assistance to "establish a program with the private sector to cover the health care needs of Mexican nationals temporarily employed in the United States."

# The bill also called for U.S. assistance to Mexican businesses and government to eliminate corruption, which it termed, "the single biggest obstacle to development."

"This was the first attempt by the SPP to go public, and it failed," says Dr. Jerome Corsi, author of The Late Great USA. They thought nobody would notice. They were wrong."

Corsi called the sPP "a coup d-etat by bureaucratic means," adding that it works underhandedly like a shadow government.

"It is an attempt to turn North America into something like the European Economic Community," he says, "which began with economic cooperation and expanded eventually to include a common market, and then a full-scale regional government replacing, in many ways, the governing powers of the member nations."

Documents recently obtained by public interest group Judicial Watch reveal that "working groups" of the SPP are developing plans for U.S. taxpayer-funded initiatives to improve Mexico's infrastructure, within just six to 18 months.

SSP plans include:

# Creating a North American Pandemic Influenza Plan;

# Facilitating cross-border travel;

# Establishing Social Security totalization for Mexican aliens working in the United States;

# Creating a Trans-Texas Corridor superhighway with truck, car, and train lanes running from Mexico to Canada.

Following the 2005 tri-lateral summit, the three leaders agreed, "We will establish ministerial-led working groups that will consult with stakeholders in our respective countries. These working groups will respond to the priorities of our people and our businesses and will set specific, measurable, and achievable goals."

The working groups include committees on "Manufactured Goods and Sectoral and Regional Competitiveness, Movement of Goods, Energy, Environment, E-Commerce and Information Communications Technologies, Financial Services, Business Facilitation, Food and Agriculture, Transportation and Health," according to the SPP Web, www.spp.gov.

"Basically, the SPP eliminates borders," Dr. Corsi tells NewsMax. "Just as in Europe, once free-flowing cross-border travel and full economic cooperation are established, the next step will be multi-national regulations and multi-national court systems to resolve disputes, with powers that supercede those of U.S. courts in many cases."

Opponents of the NAU slipping its provisions into a bill sold as way to strengthen the integrity of the nation's borders reflects the determination of those pushing a North American union.

The SPP has struck back with a FAQ section on their U.S. website, www.spp.gov, which attempts to counter "myths" of its ultimate aims, stressing that the SPP "does not change our courts or legislative processes and respects the sovereignty of the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The SPP in no way, shape or form considers the creation of a European Union-like structure or a common currency."

As to charges that the SPP is being undertaken without the knowledge of the Congress, the FAQs state, "US agencies involved with SPP regularly update and consult with members of Congress on our efforts and plans." SPP confirms that the SPP is a "White House-driven initiative. In the United States, the Department of Commerce coordinates the ‘Prosperity' component, while the Department of Homeland Security coordinates the ‘Security' component. The Department of State ensures the two components are coordinated and are consistent with U.S. foreign policy."

"They deny it – of course they do, but the ultimate direction of all these actions is driven by a one-world view," Dr. Corsi says. Corsi contends that President Bush has a secret agenda to dissolve the United States of America into the North American Union.

"However, as more people in the United States are becoming aware of the goals of the SPP, grassroots opposition to the SPP is growing very fast."

One example: 12 states are currently considering resolutions opposing the establishment of the NAU.

There is a federal effort to block the SPP as well.

It is spearheaded by a resolution, HCR 40, which states, "The United States should not allow the Security and Prosperity Partnership to implement further regulations that would create a North American Union with Mexico and Canada; and the President should indicate strong opposition to these acts or any other proposals that threaten the sovereignty of the United States." The resolution also calls for the U.S. to not "engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement Superhighway System."

The resolution notes that "reports issued by the SPP indicate that it has implemented regulatory changes among the three countries that circumvent U.S. trade, transportation, homeland security and border security functions and that the SPP will continue to do so in the future."

The bill is sponsored by Rep. Virgil Goode, R-Va., who tells NewsMax, "I hope that more Americans will become aware of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, which will lead to a North American union and the destruction of the sovereignty of the United States."

Cong. Goode, who opposed the Immigration Bill saying it would be "a disaster to our nation if it were to become law," says his resolution has attracted over two dozen co-sponsors so far.

"Defeat of the Immigration Bill was a setback for the supporters of the SPP, but they won't just give up and go away," Corsi warns. "There is a huge amount of international capital driving this. They will not give up easily."

Ben has been dead for more then a few years. I also don’t think he could have foreseen how things would have been a couple hundred years later.
One country poor and uneducated and another educated and rich.
As for Canada, a great place for natural resources but you have that french state there to deal with too.

[Halgr]

I hear ya...I’ve had confrontations with several “free traders” here....

NAFTA and CAFTA are not playing out as “advertised”

[processing please hold]

NAFTA and CAFTA are not playing out as “advertised”

Neither will the NAU, but we'll be stuck with it short of a civil war to take back our country.

[nicmarlo]

"People need to seriously ask all of the ‘08 GOP Presidential candidates about their take on the issue of the possible creation of the “North American Union”! Ask them now, and ask them often!"

Agreed.

Dittos on that! We can't afford another CFR member in the PEOPLE'S House.

[RockinRight]

Yeah? I see nothing wrong with that statement. I suppose you’d rather him say:

“I realize we can’t make DVD players without them costing $1200, but dammit, that’s what we “should” do, competitiveness be damned. Everyone, grab a tent, cuz’ that’s where we’re gonna be living if we suddenly put a halt to all trade percieved by someone or another as unfair.”

[RockinRight]

Yeah, and all of the information from reputable, non-fringe sources says the Amero doesn’t exist, and the SPP, while not a great group, and rather pointless, also isn’t the “dissolve the borders” group the alarmists claim it to be.

And the NAU doesn’t exist, that’s why Fred hasn’t replied to you.

[Halgr]

Google is your FRiend too....Please use it.

MSNBC even has an video interview discussing the “AMERO”

and there are lots of other interesting discussions IF YOU USE GOOGLE

Please also do a GOOGLE on the NORTH AMERICAN UNION....and “Read” a little.

[RockinRight]

I have used it. Nothing SERIOUS and PENDING has occurred.

You are free sir to not drink.

DING DING DING DING

I think we have a winner!!!

[Dante3]

Thanks for the links. NAU spells disaster for this country.

[GiovannaNicoletta]

They have to do this incrementally, don't you understand.

After everyone finally accepts the inevitable, and doesn't protest against the Mexican invasion anymore, and the NAU is up and running, then we can get everybody else in third-world Latin America in here.

[GiovannaNicoletta]

The country stolen, lock stock, and barrel, while we sleep.

That's exactly what's happening.

[GiovannaNicoletta]

The greatest lie Satan ever told was that he does not exist.

The greatest lie the globalists continue to tell is that they don't exist.

[GiovannaNicoletta]

I really think there is no way to avoid this fate unless people really are willing to fight it.

Nobody will ever believe this is happening until they wake up one day and it's too late. I try not to believe that America is so far gone that if most of us knew what was going on we wouldn't rise up against it.

People don't want to believe something like this, and so they won't.

[GiovannaNicoletta]

To be perfectly honest, I'm not surprised.

In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if any of the candidates had their hands in that till.

[GiovannaNicoletta]

It peaked and then nobody talked about it, that I recall.

I didn't hear of it until fairly recently and got really alarmed when the immigration bill came dangerously close to passing.

[dforest]

People don't want to believe something like this, and so they won't.

I totally agree *sigh*, that makes the outcome even more depressing. The best way to fight something is to see it coming. I guess we have succumbed to turning our backs on reality. I do admit, it is easier.

[Toddsterpatriot]

The problem is that there is no significantly large group of voters in ANY of the three countries that is in favor of this solution.

Your logic is not needed on this thread.

[Toddsterpatriot]

President Bush will travel to Montebello, Quebec, Canada to meet with Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada and President Felipe Calderon of Mexico

OMG! The President is meeting with foreign leaders? In Quebec!!! Well that's all the proof you need right there. Is Corsi aware of this?
