So Todster, you're completely comfortable with an international trade organization deternining whether our immigration laws meet their approval?

This article explains CAFTA and it's real purpose, but you are probably too arrogant to look at it.

I didn't see anything about an international trade organization approving or disapproving our laws. Maybe you could cut and paste that section? Thanks.

Sorry to jump in here, however, you are worrying about things that just don't exist.

I've read the CFR report and found that they are saying that the three countries have lots of common interests, especially border security and economic development. To address these common concerns that all three countries share, they should work together. That means that when someone on a watch list enters Mexico, the US government gets alerted. That means that the three work together to patrol the borders of the continent, rather than the US ineffectively stopping terrorists from crossing into the US. You are taking great and paranoid license with your interpretation of their wording.

Of course, others will disagree and that's just fine. The CFR is not a government agency, it's an independent committee. It has no power. This is a work group, independent even from the CFR, that the CFR commissioned to study these problems and to make recommendations. It's not policy, and it's still entirely up to the government and the people to enact any of their suggestions.

To accomplish what you tin-foilers are claiming, our government would have to amend the Constitution. Bush struggled just to get CAFTA passed by congress and you think that the U.S. is imminently going to change our Constitution in favor of becoming the Union of North America! How do you sleep at night with all those monsters under your bed?
