This is Part II of a three-part series. Read Part I, North American Union: Deconstructing the U.S. By 2010, the integration of Mexico, Canada and the U.S. will be almost complete. Congress and the media will not know what happened. Americans will be as clueless as ever; thanks to the complicity of the brain-dead media, the triumph of a bloodless bureaucratic elitist coup will become a reality, or close to it. Jerome Corsi writes in Human Events: "Without announcing his intentions to do so, President Bush has decided to support the creation of a North American Union through a process...

1. Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R.I.) Once approached by Democratic Leader Harry Reid to switch parties, Chafee has long supported liberal policies. He backs legal abortion, gay rights, federal-funded health care, strict environmental protections and a higher minimum wage. Opposes ANWR drilling. Also was the only Republican in Congress not to endorse the President's reelection and one of three who tried to gut Bush's tax cuts. 2. Sen. Olympia Snowe (Maine) A self-described "centrist," Snowe scored a 100% pro-choice voting record as scored by NARAL and consistently votes with Democrats on social issues. 3. Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.) "Snarlin' Arlen" warned...

Have you heard the one about the U.S. government and transportation agencies secretly trying to lay the groundwork for a "NAFTA Superhighway," and a North American Union with no borders between Canada, the United States and Mexico and one currency for everyone? You may have heard that an organization called NASCO -- North America's SuperCorridor Coalition -- has allegedly been working secretly to construct a "NAFTA Superhighway" from Mexico through the United States to Canada, erase our borders and freely allow illegal immigrants and terrorists into our country. Plus, the group is allegedly working to get a Mexican customs facility...

If you were keeping a file folder with newspaper clippings about how the migration of poor people from south of the border is holding down wages in United States, your folder wouldn’t have much in it. While most people who favor enforcement of immigration laws have made this claim for years, the mainstream media just hasn’t been interested. At last, a front-page article in the Dallas Morning News has provided some real numbers for at least one of the nation’s top five metropolitan areas. The story, based on U.S. Census Bureau data from 1999 to 2005 shows the median household...

When the Census Bureau released its American Community Survey analyzing demographic trends among U.S. households last week, the Washington Post and the New York Times, the flagship newspapers of the Eastern liberal establishment, celebrated the news with front-page stories. The Census Bureau’s data confirmed that the U.S. continues to be inundated by a flood of immigrants both legal and illegal (a distinction the bureau does not even make). One Nation The top-of-the-page headline in the Post said: “Area Immigrants Top 1 Million.” The Times’ front-page headline read: “New Data Shows Immigrants’ Growth and Reach.” “Last year, one in five people...

Well, it is a very pleasant time to be in Washington. Senators and representatives alike have vacated the premises. Most have headed off to ply their trade on their constituents. The off-year elections are approaching, and most of our federal legislators want another stint at what the Democrats call "public service." That is a euphemism for what all reasonable observers call the "public trough." The Democrats are in a sunny mood. As they see it, we are losing in Iraq. We are losing the war on terror. And Wal-Mart just posted a quarterly loss. All of this means, so the...

With Fidel Out, Cuba Is a Powder Keg by Humberto Fontova Posted Aug 01, 2006 Knowing the succession was imminent-- and as a clear warning to the Cuban people -- Cuba's Armed forces recently held massive maneuvers. While giving a speech hailing the maneuvers, Raul wore a bulletproof vest under his uniform (Fidel has never worn one.) Raul knows he's unpopular. His first official act in Jan. 8 1959, was lining up 150 potential regime opponents in front of a ditch and having them machine gunned and bulldozed into a mass grave. Most long-time observers doubt he can hold things...

ANGELES (Reuters) - Karl Rove, U.S. President George W. Bush's senior political advisor, on Tuesday took the administration's message on immigration reform to Latino leaders, saying the country was approaching a "critical moment" in the debate. >br> Speaking at the annual convention of leading Latino civic group the National Council of La Raza, Rove said Bush would work with Republicans and Democrats in coming weeks to push through reform legislation that has bitterly divided Congress, the Republican Party and the nation. "We face a critical moment in our immigration debate, a moment when our nation will make an important decision...

White House adviser Karl Rove is scheduled to speak tomorrow at the annual conference of the federally funded, left-wing, open-borders-advocacy group, the National Council of La Raza. If he does not want his speech to look like an act of appeasement, he should confront La Raza on its opposition to commonsense policies designed to secure both U.S. borders and U.S. pocketbooks. La Raza, which means “The Race” in Spanish, has denounced as “horrendous” and “appalling” the House immigration bill passed in December, which was sponsored by Judiciary Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R.-Wis.) and supported by the overwhelming majority of House Republicans....

the People’s Republic of China won’t help the U.S. rein in the rogue regime of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il -- which this week conducted a failed test of a missile designed to reach American cities -- then the U.S. should stop helping China with its own economic and technological development. China must support the U.S. position on North Korea in the U.N. Security Council or pay a price for not doing so. In response to North Korea’s missile tests, Japan has sponsored a resolution in the Security Council that would bar nations from giving North Korea money, material...

The long-anticipated book Godless: The Church of Liberalism was finally released this week. If the New York Times reviews it at all, they'll only talk about the Ann Coulter action-figure doll, so I think I'll write my own review. Get Yours FREE! Godless begins with a murder at the Louvre and then takes readers on a roller-coaster ride through the Church of Liberalism in a desperate game of cat and mouse in which the hunter becomes the hunted -- with a twist at the end you simply won't believe! It's a real page-turner -- even the book-on-tape version and large-print...

How are the Democrats ever going to gain any traction with their “culture of corruption” message if they’re unable to keep from embarrassing themselves? Up until now, the Democrats’ problems were limited to a few rotten apples in the House. Representatives William Jefferson (D.-La.), Cynthia McKinney (D.-Ga.) and Alan Mollohan (D.-W.Va.) all had their share of problems, but none rose to the level of being a household name. That’s about to change. With the news that Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) was bought off with front-row boxing tickets by the gaming industry, Democrats are left with no choice but...

No conservative could vote for the immigration bill expected to come up in the U.S. Senate today. It is the worst bill ever considered by the Republican majority Congress. President Bush’s Medicare prescription drug entitlement, which added $8 trillion in unfunded liabilities to the long-term national debt, was outrageously bad legislation. This bill is more outrageous. It carries not only great fiscal costs, but social and cultural ones as well. And it will not secure the border. First, this bill may cause the Balkanization of America. Last week HUMAN EVENTS published an analysis by Heritage Foundation’s Robert Rector, who determined...

Our View: Keep the House Republican Posted Apr 21, 2006In Frank Capra’s oft-watched movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” the character George Bailey is given a chance to see what his hometown would be like had he never lived. He quickly learns it’s an ugly place. Lucky for Bailey, the transformation of his fictional town was just a trick played on him by an angel. Conservatives cannot count on a similar twist in this year’s elections, which will take place in the real world. If they succumb to the temptation to write off the Republican Congress, sitting on their hands this...

Hillary Courts Donor with Favored Legislation, Earmarks, Highways by Amanda B. CarpenterPosted Apr 12, 2006 [Developing]The New York Times story today, “Company Finds Clinton Useful and Vice-Versa.” doesn’t give you the full story how Sen. Hillary Clinton has worked legislation and earmarks to favor Corning, Inc.Clinton, a member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee has taken hefty campaign contributions from Corning’s political action committee while pushing legislation requiring automobiles to have an emissions reducing catalytic converter that, in 2004, Corning supplied 95% of the world’s market for.

"We don't have anyone who speaks for the Constitution." That is what a refreshingly candid spokesman for the office in the Department of Labor that oversees the affirmative action program for federal contractors told us last week when we asked to be directed to the language in the Constitution that authorizes his program. It was a better answer than the one the Medicaid people gave us. When asked which words in the Constitution authorized Medicaid, a spokesman said, "Title 19 of the Social Security Act." Speaking of which, the Social Security Administration did not respond when we asked where the...

One 'Apprentice' Is Running for Office; Could There Be Another? By: Robert B. BlueyPosted 03/09/0602:20 PM Raj Bhakta, who was “fired” by Donald Trump on the second season of “The Apprentice,” will run on the Republican ticket this November against Democratic Rep. Allyson Schwartz in the suburban Philadelphia district, reports the Associated Press. “We offer voters legitimate change,” Bhakta told the AP. “I am not a politician. I am someone from a business background who wants to make a change.” Who knew Trump would breed an aspiring Republican lawmaker? The truth is, however, Bhakta isn’t the only cast member from...

A College Republican protest of The Vagina Monologues is scrubbed-off by the university. Earlier this week, the Network of College Conservatives (N.C.C.) reported that Boise State University downplayed a death threat made against an outspoken conservative student. Now, the N.C.C. has learned that Boise State University removed written messages by the College Republicans who were protesting the controversial feminist play.
