Mexico president urges North American integration after Brexit

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on Monday called for greater integration with Canada and the United States in the wake of Britain's vote to split with the European Union.

Nieto, who spoke during a stopover in Quebec City, is scheduled to attend a North American leaders summit in Ottawa on Wednesday with his US and Canadian counterparts.

The three countries are economic partners in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and work closely on security matters.

At Wednesday's summit, the leaders are expected to announce joint energy and environmental strategies, including matching renewable energy targets.

"The purpose of this visit is to renew our bilateral relationship, to give it new life, to find ways to advance the prosperity and competitiveness of North America," Pena Nieto said.

"I think what is happening elsewhere in the world invites us to strengthen our strategic alliance and especially to be much more inclusive," he said in response to questions about the so-called Brexit decision.

Britain's shocking vote to quit the European Union has abruptly shoved itself onto the summit agenda.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and US President Barack Obama had both called on Britain to stay in the EU.

The Brexit decision has roiled financial markets and triggered deep uncertainty over how the divorce will play out, in Europe and elsewhere.

Pena Nieto is scheduled to dine with Trudeau in Toronto in the evening before the pair head to Ottawa to meet with Obama on Wednesday.

On the first day of his state visit, Pena Nieto also signaled Mexico's intention to join a fledgling continental carbon market with Quebec, Ontario and the US state of California.

He is also expected to announce matching cuts to US methane emissions, which Canada agreed to in March.

I get a real kick out of the folks who think the North American Union is nothing more than just a conspiracy theory.

Dhimmitude from the north and corruption from the south.

No thanks. We’ve already got more of both than we can handle.

I don’t.

Just a drop in the bucket of millions of uninformed voters.

Sigh.

Mexico wants that free Union citizen travel and access. Unfettered, unstoppable immigration - just like Europe.

What do Mexico and Canada have to offer us that we would want to integrate with them?


Why the heck would Mexico want to “integrate” with us? Hell, they are currently in the act of INVADING US right now.

In 20 years they will breed themselves into the major population of the U.S.! We are doing all that we can do to give them free housing, food, money and exemption from criminal laws here.

Tell them to “hold their water” for 20 years is not too long to wait.

Illegals and multi-nationals aren’t stripping our wealth and sending it to Mexico fast enough already?

So El-Presidente wants to effectively eliminate any pretense of a border so they can get serious about looting what remains.

Don't worry, Canadians feel the same way about Mexico and the US. Not going to happen.

Maybe I'm on the wrong side of the wrong border but I don't understand why people get upset or even listen to these "Mexican leaders".

No border, no illegal immigrants. Typical Democrat/RINO solution to the problem.

There's a reason why Canadian born Cruz plays ball with the globalists as well as a lot of others who don't even pretend to be Conservative. That reason is their desire to be the big fish in a North American Union with dictates handed down the same way the garbage flowed out of Brussels and finally woke up the Brits to the fact that they'd lost their national sovereignty.

Why worry about little things like the US Constitution when your goal is to supersede it with a "superior" system ?

Mexico was promised “free stuff” from us and Canada. Brexit threw a monkey wrench into the plans and he wants to speed up the time table before it’s too late.

Mexico wants us to provide all the free sh!t we give Mexicans in the US to Mexicans south of the border as well.

NAFTA worked out exactly as Ross Perot predicted; we (the average Americans) gained nothing but Mexican neighbors on the dole.

Quebec should join Europe. The rest of Canada should join England. Mexico should join El Salvador.

What, unlimited Chinese/African/Muslim immigration?
