RE: reply #72
Yeah, what hedgetrimmer said.
I would not however say, "Treason abounds and Mr. Medved supports it!"
Now on to my thoughts, not directly related to SPP.
These "hot button" issues threads -- appear to be all economics-related issues; specifically "cheap" labor with its "threat" to sovereignty to some degree or other, IMO.
To wit, migrant labor (mislabeled as immigration), labor arbitrage, technology-enabled cross-border business functions.
There's no question that there are direct economic benefits for some and indirect benefits (yards get cut cheap, Wal Mart) for others.
So even without SPP there's "guest workers" and "globalization".
We need lawful immigration and free, fair trade but do we really need a massive "guest workers" program and "globalization" as they appear to be evolving?
For the SPP agenda to proceed, there needs to be unification of the currencies of the 3 countries. Why? An item on the SPP agenda is to remove exchange rates from the trade between the 3 countries. To do this there needs to be a common currency between the 3 as in EURO, or Canada and Mexico need to 'dollarize'. For Mexico to buy in, they need to have massive illegal immigration (illegal so that their countrymen stay citizens of Mexico), so that they will send money back to bolster the Mexican economy from without and cushion the 'schock' of integration to the Mexican economy. The massive influx of Mexicans to the US is the 'giveaway' by the globalists to get the country to buy into integration with the United States. Anything the SPP does, will increase illegal immigration because
for North American monetary and financial integration to be successful, it would have to involve an elimination of all barriers to labor migration. This is likely to be seen as an economic necessity and a political difficulty.
North American Monetary and Financial Integration: Notes on the US Perspective
There is a reason for unlimited illegal immigration from Mexico, and its not for the good of the American people. We are being told that we must endure the pain of globalization, and that indeed, we are doing in spades.
