Its the worst kind of bottom feeding troll that posts that crap.
Hmmmm, guilt by association.
Maybe this could be used as a strategy to delegitimatize an otherwise possibly strong adversary? Has nobody thought of using this approach before?
Since Heidi Cruz was in the same room with persons talking about the proposed “North American Union”, and it was found to be a blueprint for diminishing the sovereignty of the United States, why, then she had to be on board with the whole idea. And that makes Mrs. Cruz - un-American, and by association, Ted Cruz himself.
(Aw, man, do I HAVE to include the < /sarcasm > tag?
“Although the proposals in the paper are a mild call for general hemispheric economic cooperation with no formal structure”
Really no formal structure you say? On page 30 of the document titled “Building a North American Community” in the subsection titled “What should we do now” The document calls to “Establish a common security perimeter by 2010.The governments of Canada, Mexico, and the United States should articulate as their long-term goal a common security perimeter for North America.”
This is a declaration and call for a common border. I would call that a formal structure no matter how they try to disguise it through innocuous wording.
Also let us not forget that the release of this CFR document kicked off the then new Security and Prosperity Partnership dialogue between Canada, US, and Mexico which also initiates the views expressed in the document.
Heidi Cruz affirms her support for this North American Union declaring, “I support the Task Force report and its recommendations aimed at building a safer and more prosperous North America. Economic prosperity and a world safe from terrorism and other security threats are no doubt inextricably linked. While governments play an invaluable role in both regards, we must emphasize the imperative that economic investment be led and perpetuated by the private sector. There is no force proven like the market for aligning incentives, sourcing capital, and producing results like financial markets and profit-making businesses. This is simply necessary to sustain a higher living standard for the poorest among us—truly the measure of our success. As such, investment funds and financing mechanisms should be deemed attractive instruments by those committing the capital and should only be developed in conjunction with market participants.
It is fair in light of this to consider such influence regarding Cruz’ as President. Will he support the Constitution of the US or does he harbor affections for the regional union, will he trade it for a union of North America? It’s a fair question.
