Meet NAFTA on steroids

North American national borders would be virtually eliminated under plans being considered by senior business and political leaders from Canada, the United States and Mexico for a "NAFTA-plus," continent-wide, customs-free zone with a common approach to trade, energy, immigration, law enforcement and security. A tri-national task force, chaired by former Liberal Party deputy prime minister John Manley, with the full backing of all three governments, is plotting the roadmap for this new, bolder alliance meant to compete with the European Union.

You are not only right, but NAFTA plus was implicit in the agreement from the beginning. The object was to create one North American economic zone, and that implies the free movement of labor across borders (the same problem that plagues the European Union.) Ross Perot's "giant sucking sound" really meant that we would suck into the United States the vast Mexican peasantry, unemployed at home, uneducated, and resistant to assimilation. When decisions are made for entirely economic reasons without regard for social consequences you are buying trouble. The trouble with NAFTA is just beginning.

A little off the subject but just curious where Kerry stands on this today?

Treason, plain and simple.

Yippee! One Happy Hemisphere, here we come! Did anybody think to ask the American voters? Of course not. They sleazed this through, figuring we'd buy the "Gee, there are too many illegals here, we can't send them home. And by the way, we're doing away with the southern border. That old thing, who needs it anyway."

Americans need to know the truth about WHY an American president wants to inflict this monstrosity upon us.
