Immigration
If you like illegal immigration you’ll love the FTAA! FTAA advocates favor open borders. Although keeping the general public in the dark as to their real plans, FTAA sponsors admit that the FTAA is intended to follow in the footsteps of the EU – and so will lead to the abolition of meaningful national borders. National borders will become like state borders. There will no longer be an immigration problem, because there will be no more immigration – only migration of populations at will.
Proponents conceal the effect of the FTAA on U.S. borders, realizing that the American public would not support their revolutionary goals. Representative Tom Tancredo (R-CO) has clearly and correctly warned:
"There are people in the [Bush] administration, and in Mexico, and in Congress, who believe that we should do away with borders entirely. Their ultimate goal is to create this hemispheric ‘free trade’ area consolidating all of North and South America into some kind of ‘United States of the Americas.’"
Mexico’s Vicente Fox, in a 2002 address to European elites, was unexpectedly candid about these aims:
"Eventually our long-range objective is to establish with the United States, but also with Canada, our other regional partner, an ensemble of connections and institutions similar to those created by the European Union, with the goal of attending to future themes [such as] the future prosperity of North America, and the movement of capital, goods, services, and persons." [Emphasis ours]
During his address, Fox referred to a large impediment to his vision, "what I dare to call the Anglo-Saxon prejudice against the establishment of supra-national organizations."
This same vision has been endorsed by powerful people in our nation -- including some regarded to be conservative. Among those who applauded Fox's vision was Robert L. Bartley, editor of the influential Wall Street Journal:
"Reformist Mexican President Vicente Fox raises eyebrows with his suggestion that over a decade or two Nafta should evolve into something like the European Union, with open borders for not only goods and investment but also people. He can rest assured that there is one voice north of the Rio Grande that supports his vision. To wit, this newspaper."
"Indeed, during the immigration debate of 1984 we suggested an ultimate goal to guide passing policies — a constitutional amendment: "There shall be -- open borders." -- July 2, 2002 editorial entitled "Open NAFTA Borders? Why Not?"
STOP THE FTAA!!!

Preserve Our Borders: Say NO to AMNESTY and the FTAA! Your influence is urgently needed to give Congress the backbone to resist dangerous proposals that would further undermine our national borders. As a first step, please read and send the following petition to your congressman and two U.S. senators. Then send this message to others in your circle of influence so that they can do likewise.
The proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) presents a serious threat to both our national borders and our national independence. The European-Union style FTAA is being deceptively promoted as an effort to increase prosperity through free trade. Instead, this revolutionary proposal would expand NAFTA to set up new layers of socialist regulation to which all nations of this hemisphere would have to submit.
As the peoples of Europe are discovering, their original so-called “free trade” bloc, the Common Market, was but a steppingstone to a merger of their nations under a regional government, with a common currency, a European central bank, a European army, and no enforcement of common borders.

"...Fox referred to a large impediment to his vision, 'what I dare to call the Anglo-Saxon prejudice against the establishment of supra-national organizations.' "
Is Fox using the phrase "Anglo-Saxon" to mean "white"?
BUMP
"Your phone calls are helping Rep. Sensenbrenner stay the course. He recently told NewsMax.com that calls to his office have been 30-to-1 in favor of the immigration provisions. The message is loud and clear - Americans agree that preventing terrorists from getting driver's licenses and asylum is critical to preventing another 9/11. Please keep those calls coming! (202-225-5101) "

"It makes them richer,less likely to ship their excess labor here,"
Yes, that's the same line they used to push NAFTA down our throats...worked REAL well, didn't it? This arguement reminds me of the the dumb trucker. He was buying watermelons for $1.00 each and selling them for $1.00 each. After awhile he realized he was not making any profit...SO...He bought a BIGGER truck.
Thank you S4T ! :)
We've got to keep calling. The La Raza folks are trying to kill the Sensenbrenner 'adds'. ~ :)
That's the way I read it.
Sounds like a bigot.
Yeah, it certainly slowed down the illegal alien invasion under NAFTA, now didn't it? Mexico is so prosperous today that I hardly see more than 50 illegal day laborers standing on the corners and lots of Ventura, LA, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego counties in California. And Arizon has definitely benefited from the projected decrease in illegal entries that they had to past Proposition 200 just to survive. Yeah, that planned worked great.
I'm going to sign the petition now...I don't think I signed this one.

Ditto. The FTAA is the road to subjugation of Americans to the hideous Latin American narcocracies, the death of the Independence or our country that was declared 228 years ago.
Ping!
Ultimately, I believe, the borders will be erased to the detriment of ordinary Americans and the benefit of Mexico and, to a lesser extent, Canada. I think its inevitable, though we may be able to slow the process a bit.
Free trade will be beneficial but we may see something like the Okie and Arkie migrations of the 1930s with poor laborers flooding North across the open border looking for the opportunities offered in the US. Ask yourself 'did the migrations West in the 30s help California, or were they detrimental in the long term?'. Then consider the cultural differences and language that were not as big a factor with the Okies and Arkies.
He is a bigot. He's a Mexican bigot. Their hatred of white Americans - Anglo-Saxons - is the hatred of the egotistical loser, the hatred of resentment. The Mexican Caudillo's think that the sun rises and sets on them. They see themselves as "Beeg Men". But the reality of America shows them for what they are: thug tribalists living in the 7th century. Gee, sound like another part of the earth that currently has a poverty and violence problem, say, somewhere to the east of the Mediterranean? Same thing.
The only way the thugs can assuage the humiliation of being shown for what they are is to try and dominate us, whatever way they can. Illegal immigration, whining for special treatment, barking orders at us, demanding that we speak Spanish and accomodate their invasion are all part of that: a cheesy attempt by a thug culture to impose its will on a superior civilization.
But if that "superior civilization" lets the thugs do that to them, they ain't too superior.
No one should ever forget that this is what is happening. It has nothing to do with any egalitarian goal of "employement", or the "free flow of goods and people". It is all about a criminal class -- the upper class of Mexico and other Latin American countries -- trying to get power in the United States, and use it for their own sadistic, evil purposes!. And everyone should note that the current administration is all for it. So what does that say about them?!!
