Mexico wants a North American EU

Mexico Wants a North American EU

“I would like to see a border similar to the one that Europe has right now … where they have common, very common objectives,” stated Mexican Foreign Ministry official Arturo Gonzalez Cruz in a recent Tijuana interview. Mexico’s “border Czar” pointed out that members of the European Union “have a common economy. They have policies that transcend their borders....” In a report describing Gonzalez’s remarks, the Washington Times noted: “Travel across national borders in the European Union is unregulated, and citizens of EU member nations traverse borders as freely and easily as Americans cross state lines.”

Mexican President Vicente Fox, continued the Times, “has said he favors open borders across North America and has proposed removing all immigration barriers between Mexico, the United States and Canada, allowing the three nations’ citizens to live and work in the country of their choosing. At a rally in California after his surprise 2000 election, Mr. Fox said his government would ‘use all our persuasion and all our talent to bring together the U.S., Canadian and Mexican governments so that in five or ten years, the border is totally open to the free movement of -workers.’”

As we have previously noted in these pages, Fox used a May 2002 address in Madrid, Spain, to urge the expansion of NAFTA into “an ensemble of connections and institutions similar to those created by the European Union.” The proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) would broaden and deepen that three-nation economic and political bloc, eventually encompassing a total of 34 nations — every Western Hemisphere country with the exception, for now, of Communist Cuba.

Developing that EU-style “ensemble of connections” between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada was the theme of the September international conference of the Border Trade Alliance in Mexico City. The BTA describes itself as a “network of public and private sector representatives” organized to act as “a voice before our NAFTA governments.” In his keynote address, Angel Villalobos Rodriguez, Mexico’s under-secretary for international trade negotiations, pointed out that “NAFTA launched an era of political, economic and social intimacy between the U.S. and Mexico that had not existed before.”

This is what illegal immigration is leading us to. I wonder if Americans will be welcome to retire in Mexico or will it be like a white person walking through the bad part of a American city.

Brilliant idea... Maybe we should all adopt the peso as well.

about the article: Mr. Cruz's claim on the bounty of America will be denied.

what do you mean about "a white person walking in the bad part of an American city," exactly?

Mexico is a total basket case...no sense of liberty, justice, law or decency. Maybe after a few hundred years they may learn these traits

Hey, Mexican Foreign Ministry official Arturo Gonzalez Cruz, STFU. Thanks.

Mexico doesn't want a "North American EU".

They just simply want North America.

If we had a border like the EU does there wouldn't be in Mexicans in Mexico...

I don't want anything to do with that sewer to the south.

NO doubt that this is the plan and in a book that I read a few years ago called "When the world will be one". Showed a map of a United Europe, A United America's, A United Asia. Consolidation of Power, take away patriotism and the national spirit away and the recipe is for a United "global" village.

The very same reason God scatterd them at the tower of Babel. They became "one" which is happening today.

Take away the boarders and the constitution after that ,adopt the United Nations Constitution for your own self. Removing the boundry lines is when this ship will sink faster than anything you have ever seen. NAFTA is the frame work of something bigger.

American EU? Sounds like treason to me. The US Constitution would have to be suspended for such a thing to happen.

doesn't sound like you've ever been a white man walking in a bad part of an American city. the feel exactly is that of being way out of place at best and at worst--the feeling is that of being hunted. prey to be precise.

Just what it says. There are many places a white man cannot go in america and I bet that much of Mexico is off limits to gringos too. Which is the only good thing that open borders would cause for americans and thats the chance to retire somewhere cheap and a slow and easy pace to life. Many americans already do this but I imagine you have to be careful about the community you pick to live in. You cant just go anywhere.

I have read stuff like that and many call it tinfoil conspiricy but all that old stuff is slowly coming together.

Mr. Fox said his government would ‘use all our persuasion and all our talent..'

There a lot of the problem right there. Mexico's political parties are nothing but Communists and Socialists --- we should not merge our country with people whose unionization rate is 70%, the Mexican economy is constantly threated with huge strikes.

I think he probably means exactly what he said. Wasn't it PC enough for you?

For Mexico, the next five hundred years will be pretty much like the last five hundred.
