OTTAWA - Mexico wants its North American neighbours to move more quickly towards integration on a continental scale, the country's foreign secretary said on Friday.
Mexican Foreign Affairs Secretary Jorge Castaneda was in Ottawa on Friday, meeting for the first time with Minister of Foreign Affairs Bill Graham. "We would like to continentalize as much as possible," he said.
Castaneda said the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 brought to the fore the idea of harmonizing several policy areas across the continent.
What Mexico wants, he said, goes beyond the continental perimeter idea that has been discussed at length in Canada in the wake of Sept. 11. Castaneda said it includes a more continental approach to social issues, immigration and energy.
"We have been pushing for this. And we have been encountering a receptive ear both in Canada and the United States at a certain level of intensity," he said. "We would like to move more quickly. We would like to move more deeply."
Mexican President Vicente Fox has spoken in the past about those deeper moves, such as adopting a common currency, a customs union, and the entire elimination of border controls.
(When the peso becomes our currency will it still have "In God We Trust" printed on it like our old quarters used to have? Just think, Americans (or whatever they will be called in just a few short years) will be able to spend that same peso for any dope they want all the way down to the Panama Canal - there won't be any borders in the way to stop it.)

We got rid of the bedsheets once. Now bring on the burka brigade....let's get this country over with, quick!!
Public enemy # 1 = Vicente Fox.
" If that inconveniences cult fanatics (Canada) or unskilled parasites (Mexico) "
Perfect recipe to destroy the USA in a mere 20 years.
People can own private property in Mexico now and there laws might not be as good as ours but they are not that bad. The problem is that all the property is owned by a tiny percentage of the population and the vast majority own none.
Are you going to start this annexation ball rolling with a Victor Chavez style property redistribution from the rich to the poor?
President Bush meets with him regularly.
It looks like this is the "whole enchilada". It is highly important for all of us to watch what takes place next week in Crawford, Texas. This NAFTA +PLUS that the 3 countries will be talking about may give away all of our sovereignty and then some. Bush is not at all impressive on this subject.
I don't blame Fox at all; he's just doing what we let him get away with.
I like to go down to Mexico every now and then to visit my old hubcaps.
"Treat 'em like Puerto Rico"
Just the opposite, treat them like Cuba!
Except for the dry foot provision.
They get deported no matter how they get here.
Cut off all their tourism from this country and Mexico will either bow to our wishes or they will be bankrupt overnight.
Nope, the number one guy is the guy who hasn't the backbone to stand up to Vincente.
N A T I O N A L - S U I C I D E
It is inevitable.
That is just another name for stealing as much money from the American tax payers as possible. Unfortunately, I don't think our elected representatives are looking out for our interests in this respect. They are too enamored with the EU thing for America and Mexico.
In all the surveys that the universities are doing on continental integration, Canadian and American citizens are mostly against it, but 65% of Mexican citizens are for it.
Which group has the most power in the issue? Not the American people, because we are mostly kept in the dark about it.
The article is from 2003, but the plan is moving forward. The trilateral meeting at the Bush ranch this week, ostensibly to talk about "continental security" is another step toward continental integration, and its a fraud on the American people to pretend otherwise.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that some people were created more equal than others. The American citizen has no place in this world. If you are a corporate CEO, COO an FOB or a foreign national, you're much prefered to the cash cows in the United States.
I swear to God, this will happen only after I am a dead man.
