So an illegal alien who has Mexican citizenship will be allowed a United States (oops, sorry, "North American") Social Security Card, but an illegal alien who has Costa Rican citizenship (or Irish, Korean, Japanese, whatever) will NOT be allowed? It would not stand up in a court of law under equal application of the law. How could SSN law be ammended to allow only one country of of 180 (it's nationals) to be permitted such US documentation??
What are those CFR New Yorkers smoking in their pipes anyway??!!
The first is based on the level of cross-border ownership and employment. When that level reaches a certain point, and employers and employees are paying enough SS dollars to both countries' govt, it becomes a financial burden, so a Totalization Agreement between two countries will be negotiated.
The second reason is that the US will use these Totalization Agreements as a carrot to implement global strategies. The US has goals in Eastern Europe, therefore, the US is willing to implement the pending Toalization Agreements with Poland and the Czech Republic to further these goals.
As for Costa Rica, the prez has the administrative authority to implement limited regulatory changes to further SPP with Mexico and Canada. But for a full blown North American security arrangement to be put in place, an act of Congress is required. And if you look a the legislation on North American Perimeter Security in the last Congress, Central America(including Costa Rica) was included.
“It would not stand up in a court of law under equal application of the law.”
As I understand it, different courts, different laws, just like with European Union.
After everyone finally accepts the inevitable, and doesn't protest against the Mexican invasion anymore, and the NAU is up and running, then we can get everybody else in third-world Latin America in here.
