Judicial Watch continues to investigate the Security and Prosperity Partnership, launched by President Bush, former Mexican President Vincente Fox, and Former Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in 2005. The expressed purpose of the partnership is to foster cooperation between the three nations. However, there are serious concerns that policies being implemented behind closed doors, and with very little oversight and scrutiny, could be sacrificing U.S. sovereignty. Judicial Watch’s goal is to make this process as transparent as possible.
This latest round of documents obtained by Judicial Watch from the Department of Health and Human Services through the Freedom of Information Act, include a financial “work plan” calling for a taxpayer supported program to improve Mexico’s infrastructure. The objective has a timeline of 6-18 months. The plan appears to involve the United States government spending large amounts of money on Mexico’s physical infrastructure.
Don’t you think this is the type of program the American people ought to know about? Well I do, which is why Judicial Watch continues to obtain and release these documents into the public domain.
