Rep. Tancredo: Bush Wants To Merge U.S. With Mexico and Canada
Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO), one of the leading voices on immigration for the right, claims President George W. Bush is plotting to merge the U.S. with Mexico and Canada. An excerpt from WorldNetDaily:

Tancredo lashed out at the White House’s lack of action in securing U.S. borders, and said efforts to merge the U.S. with both Mexico and Canada is not a fantasy.

“I know this is dramatic — or maybe somebody would say overly dramatic — but I’m telling you, that everything I see leads me to believe that this whole idea of the North American Union, it’s not something that just is written about by right-wing fringe kooks. It is something in the head of the president of the United States, the president of Mexico, I think the prime minister of Canada buys into it. …

1. One big "Duh"
W has never chosen to represent the U.S. or it's citizens. He wishes to be corporate global king giving maximum profits to corporate globalists. He could care less about the working class. He's never been one and has zero identification with them.

15. Only If We Live Like Canadians Would It Be Tolerable
Surpluses paying off national debt, Parlimentary system can throw out government early if necessary, multiple official languages, taxation to support social services, etc.

With Bush in charge, we'd all live like the poorest Mexican peasant. That's what's wrong with it.

7. America finally seems like it's on the right track again
But as a Canadian, I feel America's got quite a bit more work to do before they feel they should be trying to turn the entirety of the North American continent into their own kingdom. Georgie has his head way too far up his behind and should be reminded what happened the last time America tried to forcibly take our country. (Yeahyeah, I know we were still just the British Colonies back then, but if not for the actions of our ancestors then, we would already be Americans, instead of Canadians.)

And our current Schmuck in office seems almost as disconnected from reality as your own. One more pawn in the corporate cabal.

A fully unified North America is a noble goal, but in the current state of things I can see it acting as nothing more than a consolidation of power into the hands of the rich few that really do not deserve any more.

12. Are the Royal Mounties ready to defend the border?
If I lived in Canada I would be LIVID over even the suggestion of annexation! That country is so far ahead of the US morally and socially it would be a step back in time to "join" the US.

14. Agree....
Why do people assume that everyone wants to become part of the U.S.? If I were a Canadian, quite frankly, I'd want no part of it.
Perhaps there can be some kind of North American version of the E.U., but there's no need to eliminate national identities. As a resident of a border state, I think Canada is fine the way it is.

13. Actually, in terms of border security, merger would make
sense. But economically and lots of other factors, this would make no sense. Even for the corporatist. But if Bush wants to have Mexico and Canada sign some sort of North American Border Security Treaty, I think it would be just fine. Far easier to worry about a relatively small border with Belize and Guatemala plus the international airports and shipping ports... than to spend billions on a virtual fence or even more billions on a real fence between Mexico and the US.

17. this whole plan
probably has major backing of the pharma industry.

that way they could ALSO control the drug prices in canada.

major big bucks in play, there. not to mention all the other "issues".

ok, it's silly. but the corporations with the money call the shots.

and i seriously wouldn't doubt it.

North American Union to Replace USA?


by Jerome R. Corsi
Posted May 19, 2006

.... 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: ....

Bush Administration Quietly Plans NAFTA Super Highway


by Jerome R. Corsi
Posted Jun 12, 2006

.... A good reason Bush does not want to secure the border with Mexico may be that the administration is trying to create express lanes for Mexican trucks to bring containers with cheap Far East goods into the heart of the U.S., all without the involvement of any U.S. union workers on the docks or in the trucks.

Mr. Corsi is the author of several books, including "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry" (along with John O'Neill), "Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil" (along with Craig R. Smith), and "Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians." He is a frequent guest on the G. Gordon Liddy radio show. He will soon co-author a new book with Jim Gilchrist on the Minuteman Project.

North American Union Would Trump U.S. Supreme Court


by Jerome R. Corsi
Posted Jun 19, 2006

The Bush Administration is pushing to create a North American Union out of the work on-going in the Department of Commerce under the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America in the NAFTA office headed by Geri Word. A key part of the plan is to expand the NAFTA tribunals into a North American Union court system that would have supremacy over all U.S. law, even over the U.S. Supreme Court, in any matter related to the trilateral political and economic integration of the United States, Canada and Mexico. ....
