I bet critics of the SPP from the anti-American factions in Canada and Mexico think this is an attempt by the U.S. to increase our influence and spread our wretched freedoms, civil rights, and cultural imperialism to their sacred shores.

And they'd probably be closer to the truth as to what will happen than the people who think the U.S. will succumb under influence from either Mexico for Canada.

If the international regulatory body makes rules on transportation, health, security, borders, etc instead of our elected congress (which is the case since the SPP is solely an executive branch project with no congressional oversight), then the American voter will lose our ability to control the destiny.

We Conservatives are for smaller, more responsive and accountable government, not international entanglements and superstate bureaucracies, arent we?

This Corsi rant is not totally baseless as it deals with real elements such as the SPP and real ideas that are gaining popularity in think tanks and business media alike. It is however alarmist and absurd in its allusion to conspiracy. The calls of tinfoil are right in this regard but blatantly ignore the other elements I mentioned. You've just skipped to the defense that will be used (by the same people yelling tinfoil in this thread)sometime in the future when borders loosened by guest worker programs and perimeter security give way to fully open borders between the three countries. And you're right, it wont be the end of the world and probably not the beginning of an EU style North America. Wed likely stop short of that. I still don't want that. Some of us just don't want to join with Canada and Mexico.
