Anti-immigrant sentiment appears to be growing in the United States, Mexican President Vicente Fox said Wednesday, and he urged U.S. officials to act quickly to control movements such as the 950-member-strong Minuteman Project on the Mexico-Arizona border. "We will use the law, international law and even U.S. law to make sure that these types of groups, which are a minority ... will not have any opportunity to progress."
Fox said he plans to push for U.S. immigration reform during a meeting with President Bush in Texas next week. He also said the two leaders, along with Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin, likely will announce a plan to expand the scope of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
In the spring of 1950, the foreign minister of France, Robert Schuman, proposed that France and Germany collectivize their coal and steel resources. On June 3 of that year, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Italy the Netherlands and Germany subscribed to what became known as the Schuman Declaration, which in 1951 led to the Treaty of Paris establishing the European Coal and Steel Community.
Fifty-one years later, the sale of national sovereignty was completed when most of the governments across Europe abandoned their national currencies in favor of the euro and accepted that the dictates of the unelected 17-man European Commission would thenceforth supersede national legislatures.
Two score and 11 years was all it took to transform a diverse community of sovereign nations into a single oligarchic dictatorship, beginning with nothing more than the humble coordination of mining activities. The European Union is far more civilized than its Soviet namesake, for it uses banks instead of tanks to enforce its will, but the absence of a body count does not mean that the institution respects individual liberties or suffers any limits upon its power. Still, if the Europeans are shortsighted enough to allow their governments to sign them up for the de facto Fourth Reich, it's hard to find much sympathy for them – particularly when the same process has already begun here at home.
Like the European Common Market, NAFTA was billed to an unsuspecting public in 1992 as a free-trade agreement, when in fact it was simply the first step toward the supra-national pan-American political entity that will be called the American Union. Or perhaps, as the current parlance has it, the Union of the Americas.
This is why George Bush and the Republican leadership so freely – and otherwise inexplicably – ignore the will of the Republican Party membership, which is strongly in favor of enforcing the immigration laws, if not tightening them. There is no point in attempting to prevent Mexican citizens from entering the United States when citizens of Mexico, the USA and Canada will soon enjoy a shared national identity.
This is also why grass-roots efforts to change the status quo of de facto open borders are doomed to failure, as any attempt by state and local politicians to enforce the law in border states will be quickly shut down by federal organizations and the judiciary, and as President Fox helpfully points out, private attempts will be prosecuted in any court likely to find them illegal.
Since the U.S. Constitution no longer exists as a definitive legal document, but has instead been transformed into an occasional inspiration for the pronouncements of the unelected nine-man American Commission (also known as the Supreme Court), there is no longer anything to prevent the delivery of the rough hydra-headed beast slouching toward Washington, waiting to be born. Voters can't prevent it, since both the present administration and its Democratic opposition support pan-American amalgamation, nor can state or local officials since the concept of a right to secession was settled by military force in 1865.
The patterns of history are clear. The political pendulum is swinging heavily toward increased centralization, and in American terms, that spells the end of the nation as a unique proposition dedicated to individual freedom, unalienable rights derived from God and limited government. The only question that remains is if the nation's weakening economic foundation will speed or slow this process, or if it will end the project altogether.
So, my fellow Americans, enjoy your national sovereignty while it lasts. I estimate you've got about 38 more years to do so.
good article ping
We understand senor Fox.
If worse comes to worse and we can't get enough of our citizens over the border, we may even have to hit you vapid yankees over the head with your own law!
Close the borders, close our embassy, break off diplomatic relations with this poor excuse for a nation now!
In time we'll be dragged down to third world nation status ourselves.
This is exactly what I'm talking about here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1366636/posts?page=120#120
I am generally not an alarmist. But it is time to shut down our borders! Controlled immigration is fine, but it is clear the Mexican government is actively engaging in destabilizing activities.
Good article that is on the money. If we analyze what has already happened with this legalized-illegal invasion of our country, combined with Washington's deliberate avoidance of it, we ARE the frogs being boiled. It still amazes me how many people are just sticking their heads in the sand and playing like this is not happening...America had better wake up soon, otherwise America will not be America anymore, and we are half way there already...
I wonder what will happen when a Judge does decree it illegal for U.S. citizens to protect the border.
agreed
It is time Americans demand U.S. law and immigration code be reinforced and enforced. Those who will object will reveal who and what they are.
If President Bush and other U.S. politicians can't see the Mexican governments' attempt to destabilize our nation by undermining our code of law, ours' certainly have a questionable capacity as "leaders".
In collaboration with the current administration, and Canada. There's not a snowball's chance in hell of a shutdown of the flood of illegals, when you have a "sea change" movement of globalization in process.
Anyone? Feel free to convince me that I'm wrong: I'm starting to believe that what I once thought were unfounded legends about the Council for Foreign Relations and other "secret" groups have at least a kernel of truth.
Bush is a liberal plain and simple - he cares more about Fox's concerns than the average American. The dems can win if they would put up politicians who would enforce the constitution - impossible. So we are left with Republicans who are selling us down stream for the interests of business and world politics. Where are you Bush brown nosers???
I agree with this, but it appears that the AU/FTAA has stalled, perhaps permanently. Other articles indicate that the nations of south and central America have turned their backs on FTAA, because they are afraid of DC. Instead, they are turning to free trade pacts with each other (mercusor, sp?) and with the EU (both Mexico and Brazil have done this) or with strengthening ties with China (Venezuala).
I believe the traitors in DC thought it was a done deal, the destruction of the Coonstitution and US sovereignty, but both might yet be preserved because of antiamerican sentiment south of the Mexican border. Nafta might morph into an officially open-borders monstrosity, but I think the AU/FTAA is dead.
Yes, I know all about the frog/boiling water analogy. But one of things that is so striking about America in the last two centuries, has been our ability to absorb even catastrophic damage before we "see the light", so to speak.
However, once that "Rubicon" is crossed, the world has indeed, and, will again, tremble.
After the lifting of the seige of Bastogne, a wounded German colonel remarked that there is nothing more savage than an American fighting man because he is fighting for a deep seated, national cause; slow to anger, but terrifying to behold.
Those who believe otherwise should study history; lest the events of 1776-1789 repeat themselves.
By the way, this shouldn't be construed as any sort of warning; just friendly advice....for the moment.

Nope, not wrong at all. Why do you think the Bilderberg groups have meetings every year in secret with total media blackout. You think they are just having a cup of tea and biscuits? One world government may be achievable within our lifetime. There is no one to stop this "Beast" if the sheeple keep voting Republocrat. Third parties have no chance because of the media bias. You just paint somebody threatening the status quo racist or some ---ist. I heard of a rumor of a common currency with Canada and Mexico by 2004/2005. We still have 9 months left. I think the Union of the Americas will happen faster than in 38 years. It could happen in 5 years.

It gets worse than this -- just wait (mark my words) until some FOOL stands up and says that it is time for ILLEGALS TO VOTE IN OUR ELECTIONS!! When that happens, Fox will have sucseeded in putting his Manchurian, er, Mexican Candidate in the White House...sound fictional? Not at all -- Fox would love to be in a position of control over American policy and politics. And guess who is playing right into his hands...and not a peep from the Congress.
It's as good as done - the wac-os just have to get it on the desk of the right judge.

And our beloved GW is feeding the problem.
Already got one. His name is Jorge El Busto who once proclaimed that family values do not stop at the Rio Grande when trying to sell his amnesty/guest worker program.
