North American Union to Replace USA?

by Jerome R. Corsi
Human Events
May 19, 2006

President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy.

Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA politically, setting the stage for a North American Union designed to encompass the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. What the Bush administration truly wants is the free, unimpeded movement of people across open borders with Mexico and Canada.

President Bush intends to abrogate U.S. sovereignty to the North American Union, a new economic and political entity which the President is quietly forming, much as the European Union has formed.

The blueprint President Bush is following was laid out in a 2005 report entitled "Building a North American Community" published by the left-of-center Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The CFR report connects the dots between the Bush administration's actual policy on illegal immigration and the drive to create the North American Union:

Quote:


Building a North American Community

At their meeting in Waco, Texas, at the end of March 2005, U.S. President George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin committed their governments to a path of cooperation and joint action. We welcome this important development and offer this report to add urgency and specific recommendations to strengthen their efforts.

www.cfr.org/content/publications/attachments/NorthAmerica_TF_final.pdf



What is the plan? Simple, erase the borders. The plan is contained in a "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" little noticed when President Bush and President Fox created it in March 2005:

Quote:

In March 2005, the leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States adopted a Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), establishing ministerial-level working groups to address key security and economic issues facing North America and setting a short deadline for reporting progress back to their governments. President Bush described the significance of the SPP as putting forward a common commitment "to markets and democracy, freedom and trade, and mutual prosperity and security." The policy framework articulated by the three leaders is a significant commitment that will benefit from broad discussion and advice. The Task Force is pleased to provide specific advice on how the partnership can be pursued and realized.

To that end, the Task Force proposes the creation by 2010 of a North American community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity. We propose a community based on the principle affirmed in the March 2005 Joint Statement of the three leaders that "our security and prosperity are mutually dependent and complementary." Its boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within which the movement of people, products, and capital will be legal, orderly and safe. Its goal will be to guarantee a free, secure, just, and prosperous North America.



The perspective of the CFR report allows us to see President Bush's speech to the nation as nothing more than public relations posturing and window dressing. No wonder President Vincente Fox called President Bush in a panic after the speech. How could the President go back on his word to Mexico by actually securing our border? Not to worry, President Bush reassured President Fox. The National Guard on the border were only temporary, meant to last only as long until the public forgets about the issue, as has always been the case in the past.

The North American Union plan, which Vincente Fox has every reason to presume President Bush is still following, calls for the only border to be around the North American Union -- not between any of these countries. Or, as the CFR report stated:

Quote:

The three governments should commit themselves to the long-term goal of dramatically diminishing the need for the current intensity of the governments’ physical control of cross-border traffic, travel, and trade within North America. A long-term goal for a North American border action plan should be joint screening of travelers from third countries at their first point of entry into North America and the elimination of most controls over the temporary movement of these travelers within North America.


Discovering connections like this between the CFR recommendations and Bush administration policy gives credence to the argument that President Bush favors amnesty and open borders, as he originally said. Moreover, President Bush most likely continues to consider groups such as the Minuteman Project to be "vigilantes," as he has also said in response to a reporter's question during the March 2005 meeting with President Fox.

Why doesn’t President Bush just tell the truth? His secret agenda is to dissolve the United States of America into the North American Union. The administration has no intent to secure the border, or to enforce rigorously existing immigration laws. Securing our border with Mexico is evidently one of the jobs President Bush just won't do. If a fence is going to be built on our border with Mexico, evidently the Minuteman Project is going to have to build the fence themselves. Will President Bush protect America's sovereignty, or is this too a job the Minuteman Project will have to do for him?

Senate Immigration Bill Would Allow 193-Million New Legal Immigrants over the Next Twenty Years

by Robert Rector
Heritage Foundation
May 15, 2006

If enacted, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (CIRA, S.2611) would be the most dramatic change in immigration law in 80 years, allowing an estimated 103 million persons to legally immigrate to the U.S. over the next 20 years—fully one-third of the current population of the United States.

The maximum number that could legally enter would be almost 200 million over twenty years—over 180 million more legal immigrants than current law permits.

Much attention has been given to the fact that the bill grants amnesty to some 10 million illegal immigrants. Little or no attention has been given to the fact that the bill would quintuple the rate of legal immigration into the United States, raising, over time, the inflow of legal immigrants from around one million per year to over five million per year. The impact of this increase in legal immigration dwarfs the magnitude of the amnesty provisions.

In contrast to the 103 million immigrants permitted under CIRA, current law allows 19 million legal immigrants over the next twenty years. Relative to current law, then, CIRA would add an extra 84 million legal immigrants to the nation’s population.

CIRA offers amnesty and citizenship to 85 percent of the nation’s current 11.9 million illegal immigrants. (sic)

Hopefuls chided by party

By Mike Linn
Montgomery Advertiser


Alabama's Democratic Party is distancing itself from two Democratic candidates for state office who think all illegal immigrants must leave or be killed.

Party officials described the platforms of candidates Larry Darby and Harry Lyon as ridiculous, unconstitutional and offensive. Darby is running for attorney general, and Lyon is a gubernatorial candidate.

Both agree the influx of illegal immigration into Alabama must be stopped, either through public hangings or martial law.

The party didn't know the men's views before they qualified, said Jim Spearman, the party's executive director. Spearman learned of Lyon's views from the Montgomery Advertiser.

In a statement Friday, the party said Darby would remain on the ballot as a Democrat because there was no formal challenge against him within the timeframe set by its bylaws. Spearman declined to speculate about Lyon.

"His views ... were offensive to many people, across the board," Spearman said of Darby. "It's an embarrassment to the party."

Lyon said if elected, he would sponsor a law to get all illegal immigrants out of the state within 90 days, or be hanged in public.

"It would only take five or 10 getting killed and broadcast on CNN for it to send a clear message to not set foot in Alabama," said Lyon, a Pelham lawyer. "Anybody that breaks into my home is a threat to my life. I remember the Alamo."

"If he's willing to have public hangings of Mexicans, that sounds like he's the right man for the job," Darby said.

Darby said if elected he would ask the governor to institute martial law to stop the influx of illegal immigrants into Alabama. If illegal immigrants attempt to evade law enforcement, they "should be shot on sight," he said.

He said the number of Jews killed in World War II has been grossly exaggerated, and Jews must leave if the United States is to save itself.

"It would be good for Iran to blow Israel off the map," he said.

Why does that sound infinitely more sane than anything Jr Bush has ever said or did? I guess he wants the Bushes and all neoCons to flee or be hanged. That's the only way to save both the DemoRatic and RepubliCon parties IN TIME OF INVASION AND CIVIL WAR.

Bill permits 193 million more aliens by 2026

By Charles Hurt
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
May 16, 2006

The Senate immigration reform bill would allow for up to 193 million new legal immigrants -- a number greater than 60 percent of the current U.S. population -- in the next 20 years, according to a study released yesterday.

"The magnitude of changes that are entailed in this bill -- and are largely unknown -- rival the impact of the creation of Social Security or the creation of the Medicare program," said Robert Rector, senior policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation who conducted the study.

Although the legislation would permit 193 million new immigrants in the next two decades, Mr. Rector estimated that it is more likely that about 103 million new immigrants actually would arrive in the next 20 years.

Sen. Jeff Sessions, Alabama Republican who conducted a separate analysis that reached similar results, said Congress is "blissfully ignorant of the scope and impact" of the bill, which has bipartisan support in the Senate and has been praised by President Bush.

The 614-page "compromise" bill -- hastily cobbled together last month by Republican Sens. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Mel Martinez of Florida -- would give illegal aliens who have been in the U.S. two years or longer a right to citizenship. Illegals who have been here less than two years would have to return to their home countries to apply for citizenship.

Although that "amnesty" would be granted to about 10 million illegals, the real growth in the immigrant population would come later.

As part of the bill, the annual flow of legal immigrants allowed into the U.S. would more than double to more than 2 million annually. In addition, the guest-worker program in the bill would bring in 325,000 new workers annually who could later apply for citizenship.

That population would grow exponentially from there because the millions of new citizens would be permitted to bring along their extended families. Also, Mr. Sessions said, the bill includes "escalating caps," which would raise the number of immigrants allowed in as more people seek to enter the U.S.

The 614-page "compromise" bill -- hastily cobbled together last month by Republican Sens. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Mel Martinez of Florida -- would give illegal aliens who have been in the U.S. two years or longer a right to citizenship. Illegals who have been here less than two years would have to return to their home countries to apply for citizenship.

Mr. Rector estimated that the eventual cost of the bill to the American taxpayer would be about $50 billion per year. Mr. Sessions said he hopes to educate his colleagues about what's in the bill before they vote on it, but there's little evidence that they're interested.

Last month, he asked the Senate Judiciary Committee to conduct an in-depth study and hold hearings into the fiscal impact of the bill as well as the impact the bill would have on future immigration. The committee produced no study and held one hearing strictly on the fiscal aspects of the bill. Only three of his fellow panel members showed up, he said.

Senate Immigration Bill Would Allow 193-Million New Legal Immigrants over the Next Twenty Years

by Robert Rector
Heritage Foundation
May 15, 2006

If enacted, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (CIRA, S.2611) would be the most dramatic change in immigration law in 80 years, allowing an estimated 103 million persons to legally immigrate to the U.S. over the next 20 years—fully one-third of the current population of the United States.

The maximum number that could legally enter would be almost 200 million over twenty years—over 180 million more legal immigrants than current law permits.

Much attention has been given to the fact that the bill grants amnesty to some 10 million illegal immigrants. Little or no attention has been given to the fact that the bill would quintuple the rate of legal immigration into the United States, raising, over time, the inflow of legal immigrants from around one million per year to over five million per year. The impact of this increase in legal immigration dwarfs the magnitude of the amnesty provisions.

In contrast to the 103 million immigrants permitted under CIRA, current law allows 19 million legal immigrants over the next twenty years. Relative to current law, then, CIRA would add an extra 84 million legal immigrants to the nation’s population.

CIRA offers amnesty and citizenship to 85 percent of the nation’s current 11.9 million illegal immigrants. (sic)

How about the Afgan thing? He's going to have a vote but it's non-binding and he's already stated that no matter what the outcome is, he's going to do what he wants anyway. Or how about that he may even bring it to a referendum that'll as well be non-binding and again he'll do whatever he wants. So, big waste of money plus does whatever he wants.

How about that he has basically removed Canada from Kyoto?

etc

There is loads of things that I can say about the current administration. I just didn't say it in the above post. To assume that that is the only thing that I got against the current administration is such a large fallacy it isn't funny.

And by the way, every government has there hands it everyones pockets. The only difference is if they get caught.

There was a vote, and Harper "won" because the Liberals could not vote against extending their original mission. Let's not forget that the Conservatives hold a minority Government so Harper cannot do whatever he wants. An election can be triggered at any time by a vote of non confidence on any issue. Harper realizes the opportunity of a leaderless official opposition and has the acumen to exploit it.

The only difference between over there and over here is that over here it's more along the lines of the poor get taxed more than the rich. That's probably due to our close proximity to the US.

Actually, extending the Afgan this is _not_ the original mission. Part of what is going on is adding a distinct offensive military component. Something which was _not_ discussed in the house, but Harper is just running with.

The Conservatives may have a minority government right now, BUT, they also have the support of the Bloc. He's promising everything they want for there support and is getting it. But, I imagine that he will pull the rug from underneath them when the time is right. Anyone remember Mulroney? He did the exact same thing.

Where are you? In Alberta? Tell me how reducing greenhouse emittions won't help the environment. Perhaps you should look into Germany and how it's imporved there environment. Forests are getting heathier, etc. And this is all after they reduced there emissions.

Basically, this isn't just a global issue, it is a local one too. And the benefits have already been proven at least on the local scale.

The problem with Afghanistan is that at this point, the mission almost has to be offensive to be successful. This isn't a case where peacekeepers can just stand between two sides and keep them from fighting. That said, command needs to go back to NATO.

There may not need to be any rug pulling. Conservative support is increasing in Quebec, and Harper's best PM-Premier relationship appears to be with Charest (despite his being Liberal). At a certain point the Bloc may decide it's simply not worth it to cooperate - there getting what they want, but losing their base, the reward isn't worth the risk.

Of course, this will likely happen after the Liberals choose a new leader and an election is approaching.

I remember Mulroney. Wasn't he one of the author's of the Meech Lake Accord which failed due in large part because of Trudeau. Regardless, Harper and Mulroney are both Conservatives so that means they both follow the same secret agenda and will do the exact same thing.

I am all for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Cleaner burning fuels, tax rebates for purchases of low emission vehicles and transit passes. Subsidies for producers and users of alternative power sources such as wind and solar. The Kyoto targets are not attainable which means buying credits from Chad to continue going along our merry instead of working on sensible at-home solutions.

It is fun hijacking threads. Alberta as the Texas of Canada is a sweeping but well founded generalization. I listened to every single minute of the constitutional convention. Alberta - 'tar sands Alberta' - considered itself better off unattached and owning 'its' resources. Anything business is good, anything national government is bad.

Barenaked Ladies are indeed Canadian - but we would have to update the song to "If I had a Trillion Dollars" in order to pay off the American national debt.

Or maybe you can enlighten me, rather than saying I should make your point for you, since what I said is exactly how it works.

You’re the ignorant one, since you ignore reality because it doesn't fit your world view.

So Wayward99,

I read The Road to Serfdom. Did you? If not, it's here: http://www.mises.org/TRTS.htm

Some of the more interesting quotes are:
Quote:


To permit mobilization of your country's economy, you gladly surrender many freedoms. You know regimentation was forced by your country's enemies.

Hmmm ...... sounds like Bush's kleptocracy to me. Could BUSH be putting the US on the road to serfdom? Just a thought.
Quote:

In an unsuccessful plan to educate people to uniform views, "planners" establish a giant propaganda machine -which the coming dictator will find handy
Well, certainly the PNAC established 'think' tanks, honed their word-smithing, and framed the debate for roughly the past three decades. Not sayin' that they consider themselves the 'planners' or anything, just sayin' it looks like it.
Quote:

The gullible do find agreement ....
Just a thought, there.
Quote:

A negative aim welds party unity.
As does an unofficial but never ending 'war on terror' and a bogeyman like ObL allowed to escape for all these five years.
Quote:

No one opposes the plan ... It would be suicide; new secret police are ruthless

Hayden is confirmed, it's OK to spy on 1 in every 10 Americans, secretly wiretap without ever getting a court order, police which books are checked out of libraries.

After all, if you have nothing to hide, why should you be worried, right?

Taxation policy is extremely simple. The government needs money to fund its programs and it can get this money one of three ways.

1) It can raise it with taxation.
2) It can borrow it
3) It can print it.

Generally most people agree that 3) is a bad option since you risk inflation, destruction of wealth and other nastiness. So in the end you have two finacing choices and the decision is which to use to finance government spending.

1) If you tax more then people have less money to spend on investment and purchase less goods. This has a bad knock on effect to the real economy and can cause an economic slowdown.

2) Borrowing money locally reduces the amout of free capital in your system. Laws of supply and demand operate and the result is that within your local capital markets interest rates rise as private concerns vie to access the reduced amount of free capital. This effects local investment, morgage rates etc and ultimately has bad knock on effects to the real economy. What the US has been doing is borrowing heavily from abroad which mean that government needs have been satisfied while keeping enough free capital in the US system to keep low interest rates. This is great if you can do it. The problem is that these loans will be repariated sooner or later and the people that hold them will probably try to convert them into US currency hard assets -- like oil or US companies.

Now if you decide to raise taxes to fund the government the only question becomes who do you take it from? Do you flat tax and charge the guy that sweeps the floor the same rate as the CEO of the company? Do you have a sliding scale that lets the little guy keep comparatively more than the big guy? Do you do away with taxes on income all together and tax only consumption?

You'll find advocates for all of these solutions but in the end it comes down to which system benefits THEM. Of course the rich want a flat tax or a comsumption tax it moves the burden from them to someone else. Of course the little guy thinks taxing the rich is fair, why wouldnt he? So for all the tooing and froing about tax it comes down to this, we all want some form of government and we all want someone else to pay for most of it.

Of course there is another solution which is to reduce the government budget to a more acceptable level. This is what should have been done after the Bush "tax cut" but they didn't. Instead spending actually went up and was only offset by extra borrowing. The reason that government tends to grow rather than shrink is that once a government is involved in something cutting funding will hurt someone and come with a political cost. Politicians don't like paying the piper so bridges to nowhere and other weirdness tends to continue until the government simply cannot afford to keep feeding itself and fails.

And yet - when Clinton raised tax on the relatively wealthy, the economy soared and the budget became balanced. In fact it ran a surplus. All boats floated.

In your schema, these should never have happened. How do you account (literally) for this?

Government raised taxes both for income and capital gains. During Clintons era three things happened.

1) Government spending stagnated -- a byproduct of having Republicans in the Congress and a Democrat in the Whitehouse, in real terms Gov spending didn't rise.

2) The government got a cut of the increased market activity associated with the internet bubble. Taxation of capital gains and then the income those gains generated were both taxed and went into government funds.

3) There was really no international competition for the US. German was still in the doldrums paying for reunification and that kept most of Europe down, the Asian market collapse effected the pacific rim and China wasn't as big a player. It's easy to win the game if you are the only team playing.

Governments can create conditions that favour a strong economy but unless they own the industries they can't force the economy to work. That's why some of the claims about tax policy is so funny. Tax cut advocates like to think of tax cuts like a shot of addrenalin that can restart a dying economy. Nice medical metaphore but Adrenalin shots dont always revive patients, sometimes they just die. Borrowing money to finance a tax cut has the same impact as borrowing money and building a dam or other public works with it, it puts money to work in the economy and that muliplies out and creates demand. It's a question of political dogma to decide if that money has more effect being spent by tax payers or the government.

FLETCH:
If I may assume for a moment.

You’re saying that everyone wants a government but on the whole everyone wants someone else to pay for it.

This I agree with.

I'm someone who can be considered rich; I have a very high disposable income.

What I can't countenance is someone how wishes to live in society without paying for the responsibilities, i.e. defending and looking after those who are weaker than oneself.

If we were to live in a survival of the fittest world the human race would have died out by now. We are a species through our intelligence have circumnavigated survival of the fittest, so when someone wishes to return to survival of the fittest because they believe it will improve their position all I can say is “fine, we’ll drop you in the Amazon, see you again… if you survive…”
