CFR's Plan to Integrate the U.S., Mexico and Canada (July 2005)

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has just let the cat out of the bag about what's really behind our trade agreements and security partnerships with the other North American countries. A 59-page CFR document spells out a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community" with a common "outer security perimeter."

"Community" means integrating the United States with the corruption, socialism, poverty and population of Mexico and Canada. "Common perimeter" means wide-open U.S. borders between the U.S., Mexico and Canada.

"Community" is sometimes called "space" but the CFR goal is clear: "a common economic space ... for all people in the region, a space in which trade, capital, and people flow freely." The CFR's "integrated" strategy calls for "a more open border for the movement of goods and people."

The CFR document lays "the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America." The "common security perimeter" will require us to "harmonize visa and asylum regulations" with Mexico and Canada, "harmonize entry screening," and "fully share data about the exit and entry of foreign nationals."

This CFR document, called "Building a North American Community," asserts that George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin "committed their governments" to this goal when they met at Bush's ranch and at Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005. The three adopted the "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" and assigned "working groups" to fill in the details.

It was at this same meeting, grandly called the North American summit, that President Bush pinned the epithet "vigilantes" on the volunteers guarding our border in Arizona.

A follow-up meeting was held in Ottawa on June 27, where the U.S. representative, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, told a news conference that "we want to facilitate the flow of traffic across our borders." The White House issued a statement that the Ottawa report "represents an important first step in achieving the goals of the Security and Prosperity Partnership."

The CFR document calls for creating a "North American preference" so that employers can recruit low-paid workers from anywhere in North America. No longer will illegal aliens have to be smuggled across the border; employers can openly recruit foreigners willing to work for a fraction of U.S. wages.

Just to make sure that bringing cheap labor from Mexico is an essential part of the plan, the CFR document calls for "a seamless North American market" and for "the extension of full labor mobility to Mexico."

The document's frequent references to "security" are just a cover for the real objectives. The document's "security cooperation" includes the registration of ballistics and explosives, while Canada specifically refused to cooperate with our Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).

To no one's surprise, the CFR plan calls for massive U.S. foreign aid to the other countries. The burden on the U.S. taxpayers will include so-called "multilateral development" from the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, "long-term loans in pesos," and a North American Investment Fund to send U.S. private capital to Mexico.

The experience of the European Union and the World Trade Organization makes it clear that a common market requires a court system, so the CFR document calls for "a permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution." Get ready for decisions from non-American judges who make up their rules ad hoc and probably hate the United States anyway.

The CFR document calls for allowing Mexican trucks "unlimited access" to the United States, including the hauling of local loads between U.S. cities. The CFR document calls for adopting a "tested once" principle for pharmaceuticals, by which a product tested in Mexico will automatically be considered to have met U.S. standards.

The CFR document demands that we implement "the Social Security Totalization Agreement negotiated between the United States and Mexico." That's code language for putting illegal aliens into the U.S. Social Security system, which is bound to bankrupt the system.

Here's another handout included in the plan. U.S. taxpayers are supposed to create a major fund to finance 60,000 Mexican students to study in U.S. colleges.

To ensure that the U.S. government carries out this plan so that it is "achievable" within five years, the CFR calls for supervision by a North American Advisory Council of "eminent persons from outside government . . . along the lines of the Bilderberg" conferences.

The best known Americans who participated in the CFR Task Force that wrote this document are former Massachusetts Governor William Weld and Bill Clinton's immigration chief Doris Meissner. Another participant, American University Professor Robert Pastor, presented the CFR plan at a friendly hearing of Senator Richard Lugar's Foreign Relations Committee on June 9.

Ask your Senators and Representatives which side they are on: the CFR's integrated North American Community or U.S. sovereignty guarded by our own borders.

Not necessarily tin-foil hat.

Check out this earlier posting to Free Republic from the White House website...

It reads like the CFR's wet dream.

Cheers!

I looked around but I couldn't see anywhere that the B-1(b)visa was gonna be suspended or modified so Idunnobout this...

the rules are pretty well laid out

http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/import/carriers/land/how.xml

not to mention the CVSA added language with teeth about out of service criteria involving communication skills


http://www.lumberassoc.com/Legislative/Regulatory%20News%205-05.pdf

All CVSA certified law enforcement agencies (and most of them are certified) use these criteria wheninspecting your vehicles and determining whether the vehicle or driver is classified as OOS.

Once a driver or vehicle is declared OOS, the vehicle cannot be moved until the issue is resolved and you are back incompliance.

One notable inclusion to the new OOS criteria is the following reference regarding drivers:“If a commercial vehicle driver is unable to communicate sufficiently to understand and respond to official inquires and directions, he/she will be placed out of service.

”In accordance with FMCSR 391.11 (b)(2) a person is qualified to operate a commercial vehicle if he/she:(b)(2) Can read and speak the English language sufficiently to converse with the general public, to understand highway traffic signs and signals in the English language, to respond to official inquiries, and to make entries on reports and records;Remember, that this applies to all commercial vehicles, not just your fleet vehicles that require a CDL to operate.

While the new CVSA OOS criteria is not an “English Language Requirement”, it is important to understand that you, as a motor carrier, have the obligation to ensure that all your drivers have sufficient communication skills to carry out their assigned duties.

Don’t rely on the officer being able to speak Spanish or other language in order to communicate with your driver. Stephen A. Keppler, Director of Policy and Programs for CVSA states that, “It (communicating sufficiently) has become more of an issue over the last few years because our members (U.S., Canadian,and Mexican enforcement agencies) are seeing many more instances of this on the highway and have experienced problems, and NTSB has several ongoing accident investigations where they believe this issue may have been a contributing factor. It is both a highway safety and officer safety issue.”

Its not just an OK you can come in nowthing...

and now that Annette Sandburg is gone, (ding dong the witch is dead!) the popular appointee pro-tem is a career carrier safetey enforcement director from Indiana and a 20 some year leo


my tin hatter friends all let me know when they feel the radio wave banging off thier foreheads but I don't think I need to cook or speak mexican just yet.

but we ALL must keep up the good fight!

I had such great expectations for Bush, I feel so mislead
