The I’ll bet you just love the North American Union concept.

I actually have no problem with the actual concept; I of course oppose the fanciful conspiracy version.

The “NAU” is of like kind with the absurd translation of “bi-national health insurance” into a “bi-NATIONALIZED health insurance”. The conspiracy is much worse than the reality.

We have NAFTA. I know some here dislike the concept of NAFTA, but the purpose of NAFTA was to bring us into a closer trading relationship with our neighbors. We also have common interests with our border countries regarding security, terrorism, and the drug trade, so it makes sense to work together on those issues, as well as environmental issues, water rights, and things like drilling in the gulf.

Our country is better off when we can cooperate with our neighbors, and not treat them as our sworn enemies, as some here seem to want to do with Mexico.

It’s almost like some freepers have never heard of Americans taking day-trips down to Tijuana, or all of the high-class vacation spots in Mexico. To hear some of them, you’d think Mexico was worse than the old Soviet Union or North Korea.
