Author Jerome Corsi and Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., will be guests tomorrow on G. Gordon Liddy's radio show to discuss the White House's effort to implement a trilateral agreement with Mexico and Canada that could lead to a North American union, despite having no authorization from Congress.
Corsi and Tancredo will join Liddy for the entire 11 a.m. hour, Eastern time, and take calls from listeners.
Corsi reported this week that Bush administration working groups have not disclosed the results of their work despite two years of massive effort within the executive branches of the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
The groups, working under the North American Free Trade Agreement office in the Department of Commerce, are to implement the Security and Prosperity Partnership, or SPP, signed by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in Waco, Texas, March 23, 2005.
The trilateral agreement, signed as a joint declaration not submitted to Congress for review, led to the creation of the SPP office within the Department of Commerce.
Geri Word, who heads the SPP office, told WND the work had not been disclosed because, "We did not want to get the contact people of the working groups distracted by calls from the public."
WND can find no specific congressional legislation authorizing the SPP working groups nor any congressional committees taking charge of oversight.
Many SPP working groups appear to be working toward achieving specific objectives as defined by a May 2005 Council on Foreign Relations task force report, which presented a blueprint for expanding the SPP agreement into a North American union that would merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico into a new governmental form.
"Department of Homeland Security Fact Sheet: Security and Prosperity Partnership"
I was just pinged to this thread and am, frankly, appauled by the comments of the same few people who troll these kinds of threads, attacking anyone who wishes to discuss the topic, and consistently getting away with it.
I don't know how much clearer it can be when the information comes directly from Homeland Security websites. Me thinks they protest too much and it is THEY who are in denial. Wonder why fear takes such a hold on them and they go off the deep end every time a thread about this topic gets posted?
"Anyone who believes this tripe is delusional and probably quite insane."
Wow. Now there's a well thought out rebuttal to the information posted. I guess when you have none, at least none that's valid, play the only card you've got left and opt to implying that those who wish to discuss the topic reasonably and civily, are delusional and insane.
I am loathe to understand how you and and a handful of others, consistently get away with trolling the threads you disagree with, divebomb them with comments such as this, and then lie in wait to do it again. Just because the 'popular few' are now clearly in the minority and in a one-down position on Bush and illegal immigration, is no excuse for the unacceptable behavior and, frankly, imo, should not be tolerated.
Excellent information. Thanks for posting!
Thank you.
They're words to live by, you know.

Baloney! Most of them don't know or care.

Thank you Congressman Tancredo! It will be fun watching this unravel.
Do you have anything intelligent to say, or will you be one lining it with your cohorts as usual?
A union I can love. From Polipundit this AM:
Union Local 2544 U.S. Border Patrol
I have a question. Who can best comment on securing the border?
College Professors? Politicians in Washington? How about the members of the largest Union Local representing actual Border Patrol Agents?
Union Local 2544, represents Border Patrol agents and non-supervisory employees in the Tucson Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol, covering most of the state of Arizona. They are the largest local in the Border Patrol. Local 2544 Officers are all Border Patrol agents.
These are the men and women that toil in 100 degree summer heat. These are the men and women that risk their lives every day not knowing what they will encounter. They are the ones that have to live with the deals made in air conditioned offices within the beltway. They are serving on the front lines and have some very strong opinions. They have gpaidh for the right to speak out and deserve to be heard.
Here are the opinions of these brave agents, in their own words;
We fully support legal immigration, but we stand firmly against illegal immigration. We strongly oppose any attempts to reward illegal alien lawbreakers. We have risked our lives to keep them out of this country. The slick politicians can call it gguest-workerh or gearned legalizationh all they want, but itfs amnesty. Some of these politicians have missed their true calling. They need to be working down at the County Fair selling tickets to innocent children to try and shoot a 14 basketball through a 12 hoop so they can win the big stuffed animal.
Local 2544 has not been consulted in any way, shape, or form regarding the deployment of National Guard troops in this Sector. This is being posted in response to multiple questions about our involvement in this process. In a nutshell, there is no involvement. We were told we would be consulted. We werenft.
What gGuest Workerh and gEarned Legalizationh Really Mean - Donft those terms sound warm and fuzzy? Wellccin addition to the facts contained in the blog linked here regarding the administration of IRCA 1986, frontline Border Patrol agents were ordered to immediately release any illegal alien who made an amnesty claim, no questions asked, even though we were routinely uncovering massive fraud with simple field interrogation techniques. The illegal aliens we questioned before this order came down were mostly lying, and we were catching them in lies one right after another. Many had just entered the United States, but falsely claimed they had entered years before so they could gqualifyh for amnesty. One large group was tracked down and apprehended on the Tohono OfOdham Indian reservation about 10 miles from the border (in the middle of nowhere - therefs nothing out there, no roads, and no legitimate/lawful reason for illegal aliens to be there). Two of them had freshly minted gamnestyh cards. When questioned about the glast entryh they made into the U.S. from Mexico, the cardholders claimed they had entered years before and were just gvisitingh the rest of the group (approximately 100 total). Of course, their clams were ludicrous. (link for more)
Senator McCain Sells Us Out (again) - Senator McCain voted for the Amnesty Bill (S. 2611). Senator McCain has never been a friend to rank-and-file Border Patrol agents. He routinely ignores correspondence from Border Patrol agents and often gives the impression that he is just too big and too important to deal with us. He attempts to undermine our mission at every turn and actively supports the criminals who violate our laws. He always trys to downplay the fact that illegal aliens knowingly and willingly violate our laws, and he is a close ally on immigration matters with Senator Ted Kennedy, who we believe is the biggest disgrace of all time in the United States Senate.
Every day that President Bush and the Senate hold real border security hostage to their misguided amnesty program, thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens continue to flood into the country. Make no mistake, most of them get by us. We are losing this war, and itfs not even close. Contact your senators and congressmen now. Tell them to secure the border and tell them to reject amnesty programs (so called gguest-worker").
The Border Patrol has earned our support and ask for us to do one simple task, gContact your senators and congressmen now. Tell them to secure the border and tell them to reject amnesty programs (so called gguest-worker").h If you support the men and women who risk their lives defending the border you know what to do.

Can you explain why he's insane when there is so much evidence to contradict your thought?
Geri Word, who heads the SPP office within the NAFTA office of the U.S. Department of Commerce affirmed to WND last Friday in a telephone interview that the membership of the working groups, as well as their work products, have not been published anywhere, including on the Internet.
Why the secrecy?
"We did not want to get the contact people of the working groups distracted by calls from the public," said Word.
She suggested to WND that the work products of the working groups was described on the SPP website, so publishing the actual documents did not seem required.
This is a great point from Polipundit:
But, But, I Thought We Needed New Laws To Do this?
I just read that U.S. officials are beefing up efforts to stop immigration document fraud.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has created 10 anti-fraud task forces across the nation in addition to the existing unit in Washington, D.C. The task forces have opened 250 probes since they began work in April, says Special Agent Scott Weber, chief of identity and benefit fraud for ICE.
Hmm, ICE Assistant Secretary Julie Myers confirms that “Immigration fraud is “a problem of epidemic proportions.” So that means, it is an old and ongoing problem.
Then why do we need “new laws” when the Administration can do these positive steps on their own?
Better question, why now not five years ago?

Please show me where I posted a twenty page article? Firstly, it's beyond your reading ability, and secondly your attention span is way too short for that. You like to post one liners and cartoons.
bttt
Wait a second, YOU are allowed to post exaggerations and stupid assumptions by the authors but I can't complain about the length of the BS you post?
Sure.
Anyway, being that I've made fun of you nuts for the last couple days, I think I am going to move on to something MORE important, like I don't know, ANYTHING else.
Have a good one.
