Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., is demanding the Bush administration fully disclose the activities of an office implementing a trilateral agreement with Mexico and Canada that apparently could lead to a North American union, despite having no authorization from Congress.
As WND reported, the White House has established working groups, under the North American Free Trade Agreement office in the Department of Commerce, 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 groups, however, have no authorization from Congress and 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.
Tancredo wants to know the membership of the SPP groups along with their various trilateral memoranda of understanding and other agreements reached with counterparts in Mexico and Canada.
Tancredo's decision has been endorsed by Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman Project.
"It's time the Bush administration to come clean," Gilchrist told WND. "If President Bush's agenda is to establish a new North American union government to supersede the sovereignty of the United States, then the president has an obligation to tell this to the American people directly. The American public has a right to know."
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.
Should Bill Bennet quit his talk show and move to a monastary and repent for running the Dept. of Education?
Or are you just being silly?
Trying to engage Dane in any sort of meaningful discussion is a waste of time.
He isn't on these threads to defend any position. His purpose is to disrupt and divert the discussion away from the topic at hand, in this case, WhoreHay Duhbya Arbusto, the Republipuke and Democrap parties selling out America for a few pieces of silver.
No.....I'd say mostly the poster boy for rectal/cranial inversion disease.....it is curable you know.
Maybe, but not being funny, when you try so hard to be so, is a worse disease.
You have already turned FreeRepublic into a toilet and the mods let you. It takes shit to turn a punchbowl into a toilet and you're the turd to do it. Have fun with your circle jerk. Bye Bye FreeRepublic and no, the door won't hit me on the way out.
Funny thing...your language will probably get your opus pulled.
Funny thing.
"Why are members of the U.S. Congress proposing Bills that not only involve the United States, but also Canada, using the Office of The Secretary of State to improve the security of Mexico's Southern Border?"
Exactly what does this have to do with President Bush?
BTW: S.853 was proposed by Sen. Lugar, who is not named Bush; Ms. HARRIS (for herself, Mr. PEARCE, and Mr. SHAYS) proposed HR 2672, and none of these people are named Bush.
Why doesn't Mr. Tancredo ask these individuals what they had in mind?
This is the sort of logic that bugs me. Essentially, you inferred:
a) President Bush's plan to deal with Mexican immigration differs from yours (and mine);
b) Some Congressmen of weak conservative record (to be polite) proposed bills cooperating with Latin American countries to prevent fake documents;
therefore
c) George Bush needs to respond to the charge that he's trying to erase the United States and replace it with a North American Union?
That's like inferring that because I practice martial arts and enjoy sushi that I am planning to become a Japanese citizen.
Let's be firmly against illegal immigration, yes! But dammit, I am beyond tired of hearing invective and childish names on FR referring to our President that make DUmmies look good. We need to regain a sense of perspective.
Oh, as in your post #134........yeah, you're right.
Bush is the one who made the agreement with Mexico, and Canada at Waco on March 23, 2005. Google and read the proposals.
"Don't forget nuking Mecca."
You know, MAD has worked before. Having the State Department fall all over itself by stating that we would NEVER target anything like that no matter how many Americans they kill may mean the feel emboldened enough to take out one of our cities or three.
We've already said we won't respond in kind. When fighting an ideology, you attack the symbols of that ideology. Mecca and the moon rock they worship is one of those symbols.
