In another example of the way the three nations of North America are being drawn into a federation, or "merger," students from 10 universities in the U.S., Mexico and Canada are participating annually in a simulated "model Parliament." Under the sponsorship of the Canadian based North American Forum on Integration (NAFI), students met in the Mexican Senate for five days in May in an event dubbed "Triumvirate," with organizers declaring: "A North American Parliament is born." A similar event took place in the Canadian Senate in 2005. The intentions of organizers are clear. "The creation of a North American parliament, such as the one being simulated by these young people, should be considered," explained Raymond Chretien, the president of the Triumvirate and the former Canadian ambassador to both Mexico and the U.S.

Illegal immigration is not the issue.

The issue is simply this: How many Americans today, if they were informed as to the long-term goals of the NAU, would agree with it? The Texas highway plan is nothing more than getting a foot in the door -- the beginning of the spider spinning it's web, paving the way, so to speak.

This will come down over a period of time in the same manner and using the same PR techniques that the country fell for when it unknowingly opted to be ruled by the policies and suggestions of UN NGO's. By stealth, not by law, legislation, open debate, or the will of the people.

How do you feel about the bill Senator Cronyn is sponsoring to build the super highway and other infrastructure in Mexico?

The one that has been DOA (i.e., "in committee") for months? Rep. Conyers sponsors a bill to reinstate the draft every year, how far has he gotten?

Your posts and your tag line scream Libertarian.

So what? This isn't a REPUBLICAN forum, it is a CONSERVATIVE forum.

As for Cornyn's bill, I have no problem with the U.S. helping to improve Mexico's roads in order to promote economic development. But to make the connection between that and a "North American Parliament" requires a wild imagination and/or a severe intellectual deficit.

[1rudeboy]

Fair point, although I don't think anyone (UN NGO's included) has gotten very far. But let's stipulate that the concern is real: does that mean that the U.S., Canada, and Mexico should not try and reach some sort of a consensus on, say, border security?

[1rudeboy]

Actually, Cornyn's now-on-life-support bill was to create a fund that would promote infrastructure improvements, and called on Mexico to contribute a significant amount of funds . . . but why get into specifics? I didn't like the bill, either.

All three countries already have border and immigration laws on their books. The problem is the laws are not being enforced, except for some minimal effort by Canada and Mexico. I see it as a political problem, not a legal problem. The laws are in place but what good are they if they are ignored by those we hire and elect to insure our domestic tranquility and financial security (private property rights).

I think if we remove the incentive for illegals the problem would diminish itself to a very large degree and we would not be so pre-occupied with it. I would expect to see an ever-increasing return to Mexico and other countries by illegals. Now that they've experienced the basics of freedom and self-determination, I hope they would be motivated to renovate their own political system. No nation is without enough resources to sustain itself and develop a quality of life if there is a will.

Time to cut the incentive umbilical cord before it strangles us as it has strangled other socialist nations.

Failure to enforce the laws already on our books is the greatest problem, yes.

Both George Schultz(co-chaired the meeting) and Don Rumsfeld were at the "secret meeting" in Bannf last week. Admiral Keating, head of the Northern Command, also attended.

The problem with immigration is that the legal method is much harder than the illegal. We need to both make illegal immigration an enforced crime and make legal immigration as easy as passing through customs at the airport.

[Eastbound]

Yes, I would agree with that. Maybe some of the difficulty encountered by legals standing in line might be a prolonged wait caused by the illegals upsetting the quotas (If we have quotas). If, for instance we normally allowed x number from all countries based on their population and our industrial needs, the number of legals from Mexico would be waiting a long time. Just guessing, but only using that as a possibility.

Another problem with the illegals is that it appears more and more that a growing number have no desire to add strength to our country and general culture, preferring to by-pass the melting pot and going straight for the soup pot and yielding their allegiance to any number of anti-American groups, both political and criminal.

"Both George Schultz(co-chaired the meeting) and Don Rumsfeld were at the "secret meeting" in Bannf last week. Admiral Keating, head of the Northern Command, also attended."

That's the same Rumsfeld that Michael Savage says is in charge of persecuting out eight Marines at Camp Pendleton?

does that mean that the U.S., Canada, and Mexico should not try and reach some sort of a consensus on, say, border security?

The Mexican government actively encourages illegal immigration to the US? Why in the world should we be coming to a "consensus" with scumbags like them in formulating our border security?

[Teutates]

The biggest problem I see with joining the three countries is the gap between a third world country like Mexico and advanced countries like the US and Canada.

If the gap wasn't so great between Mexico and the others the idea could work, bring greater strength and prosperity to the people of these countries.

I don't see the draw-back to a merger other than gap with Mexico.
