What exactly they expect to gain out of destroying the greatest nation in the world I haven't figured out. Maybe both parties are getting some short-term monetary benefits out of the cheap labor, but their kids, and ours are going to pay big-time for the selfish greed.

At first, I thought it was all for money. For some politicians, I think it still is. I mean they are so addicted to the money or they are bought and paid for and go along. Sadly for many, it is power. I think they see themselves as world movers and shakers and possible world leaders and that is their agenda. Some will be fooled and are being used but for some, it will happen.

It would be hard for America to be brought into a borderless world without destroying so much of the country first. The middle class will have to go. The wealthy, for the most part, can and will survive. It makes little difference to the poor - they life won't chang that much. The middle class, have had to work and sometimes fight for what they have. They are a cocky bunch of people and they need to be brought down to where just providing necessities is the most important thing on their minds. You do that by taxing them to the point they cannot even maintain their lifestyle, let along improve it. You also make sure the jobs are either shipped out or taken by illegals. That way they can be handled.

The government has pitted Americans against each other - either by race, income, work (blue collar vs white collar - dockers and tasselled loafers), age, etc. A country divided can be controlled and they are busy keeping us divided and so many are falling for it and actually helping to further their cause. .

A Western Hemisphere union similar to the one in Europe will fail, NAFTA is proof of that. There are simply too many cultural differences between the US and Latin America. The only ones benefiting off of NAFTA are large corporations who move down to Mexico for the cheap labor, but quickly relocate elsewhere when they can find a better labor deal, like in China. That's the main reason it's done nothing to stop illegals from pouring in here, Mexicans' living standards haven't improved in the least as predicted.

Here's my prediction for what it's worth... if that sort of union future is currently in process of becoming reality, and I don't doubt it is, in the end it will have to be accomplished by force. The way it's being foisted upon us, the frog in the pot analogy, a little at a time, even that will eventually backfire when Americans find their living standards so eroded they can't live a middle-class life anymore. A Pat Buchanan style politician will emerge to stop and reverse it, at which the point the establishment will do everything they can to keep him out of power. Just look at what what they're trying to do to Tom Tancredo, who only suggests we should control the borders.

At present course, the future of the US has the potential to get very ugly.
