CITY OF LONDON, United Kingdom – General David Petraeus, the former CIA director and head of the international forces in Afghanistan (ISAF), has today said that the United States is suffering deeply because of partisanship, and said that the country needs immigration reform.
Gen. Petraeus was speaking on the "After America, What?" panel at the Centre for Policy Studies’ Margaret Thatcher Liberty Conference at the Guildhall in the City of London.
"After America comes North America," he said, discussing how Canada, the United States and Mexico are set to be a formidable force together, "notwithstanding Mexico’s rule of law issues".
"Clearly China is gong to continue to grow and develop, he said, but the former CIA chief was optimistic about America’s future.
"The United States does faces challenges, we do have to get immigration reform… our debt-to-GDP ratio… the deadlock in Washington, etcetera etcetera."
Petraeus, who now works for the KKR Global Institute, spent much of his time discussing how America’s Shale Gas revolution was the most positive thing to happen to the country in a long time. But he noted of the challenges that face America:
"Gerrymandering in the House of Representatives… has [made it] less bipartisan because of the policy divide… what has happened because of the redrawing of districts... there has become a tendency for the red districts to be bright red and the blue districts to be bright blue. This is a real problem.
"The primaries are more important and the general elections are a foregone conclusion. That’s a concern because it does make it more difficult to do what Ronald Reagan cold do with Tip O'Neill… reach across the aisle. It was ultimately what led to the closing of government… to the implementing of sequestration."

Petraeus is right about the NWO North American Union, it is why the borders are not going to be closed....there is already the European Union...African Union...then after this is done with American, it will be on to Central America and South America.
The Army calls this a conspiracy because until it happens, they don’t want any more opposition with the illegals.
Cloward-Piven strategy is to destroy America’s independence by destroying the system with overload in entitlements, debt, and stress enough to implement gun control.
The Canadian border crossings became tougher after 9/11.
“This man has obviously read very little political history and should shut up. “
I rest my case.
Yes but that won’t stop the NWO.
Care to elaborate?
I assume not all of Petraeus’s dastardly deeds have been exposed.
David Petraeus sent weapons to terrorists and left American men to die and participated in the coverup.
North American Union? Betrayus must be one of them tinfoil hat wearing kooks to believe that conspiracy theory nonsense. I bet he is afraid those black UN helicopters are going to carry him away or that the governments reads his email!
Those One World Order folks certainly have deep pockets.
Not really. It would be a waste of time.
