One of the problems with this guy (and no wonder why RINO Hagel likes him) is that he fails to admit that the increased "social integration" in "North America" (read increased latino migration north) is a result not of popular will and popular choice on the part of U.S. and Canadian citizens but is due to immigration policy failure in the U.S.; failure to stop illegal immigration at the border.
The main problem remains with his presumption that "integration" is (1)warranted, (2)desireable, and (3)necessary; all of which are not true.
He fails to acknowledge that neighbors with borders can remain peaceful, expansive and beneficial trading partners without "integration" of their peoples. Europeans have been doing it, hear and there around Europe with off and on success for quite a while now.
The myth of the political elites, both here and in Europe, is that "national" identities must somehow give way. It is a major myth because the foundation of constitutional law and government is a social contract between "we the people" which presupposes a national identity of who "we" are.
It is a myth put forth by people like those at the Council and Foreign Relations because that is what they want, to strip people of "national identity" and of constitutional government; replacing both with vague references to "common values" and "common rights" enforced by an elitist, and dictatorial judiciary.
