CFR's Plan to Integrate the U.S., Mexico and Canada by Phyllis Schlafly, July 13, 2005
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has just let the cat out of the bag about what's really behind our trade agreements and security partnerships with the other North American countries. A 59-page CFR document spells out a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community" with a common "outer security perimeter."
"Community" means integrating the United States with the corruption, socialism, poverty and population of Mexico and Canada. "Common perimeter" means wide-open U.S. borders between the U.S., Mexico and Canada. "Community" is sometimes called "space" but the CFR goal is clear: "a common economic space ... for all people in the region, a space in which trade, capital, and people flow freely." The CFR's "integrated" strategy calls for "a more open border for the movement of goods and people."
The CFR document lays "the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America." The "common security perimeter" will require us to "harmonize visa and asylum regulations" with Mexico and Canada, "harmonize entry screening," and "fully share data about the exit and entry of foreign nationals."
This CFR document, called "Building a North American Community," asserts that George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin "committed their governments" to this goal when they met at Bush's ranch and at Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005. The three adopted the "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" and assigned "working groups" to fill in the details. It was at this same meeting, grandly called the North American summit, that President Bush pinned the epithet "vigilantes" on the volunteers guarding our border in Arizona.
A follow-up meeting was held in Ottawa on June 27, where the U.S. representative, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, told a news conference that "we want to facilitate the flow of traffic across our borders." The White House issued a statement that the Ottawa report "represents an important first step in achieving the goals of the Security and Prosperity Partnership."
The CFR document calls for creating a "North American preference" so that employers can recruit low-paid workers from anywhere in North America. No longer will illegal aliens have to be smuggled across the border; employers can openly recruit foreigners willing to work for a fraction of U.S. wages.
Just to make sure that bringing cheap labor from Mexico is an essential part of the plan, the CFR document calls for "a seamless North American market" and for "the extension of full labor mobility to Mexico."
The document's frequent references to "security" are just a cover for the real objectives. The document's "security cooperation" includes the registration of ballistics and explosives, while Canada specifically refused to cooperate with our Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).
To no one's surprise, the CFR plan calls for massive U.S. foreign aid to the other countries. The burden on the U.S. taxpayers will include so-called "multilateral development" from the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, "long-term loans in pesos," and a North American Investment Fund to send U.S. private capital to Mexico.
The experience of the European Union and the World Trade Organization makes it clear that a common market requires a court system, so the CFR document calls for "a permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution." Get ready for decisions from non-American judges who make up their rules ad hoc and probably hate the United States anyway.
The CFR document calls for allowing Mexican trucks "unlimited access" to the United States, including the hauling of local loads between U.S. cities. The CFR document calls for adopting a "tested once" principle for pharmaceuticals, by which a product tested in Mexico will automatically be considered to have met U.S. standards.
The CFR document demands that we implement "the Social Security Totalization Agreement negotiated between the United States and Mexico." That's code language for putting illegal aliens into the U.S. Social Security system, which is bound to bankrupt the system.
Here's another handout included in the plan. U.S. taxpayers are supposed to create a major fund to finance 60,000 Mexican students to study in U.S. colleges.
To ensure that the U.S. government carries out this plan so that it is "achievable" within five years, the CFR calls for supervision by a North American Advisory Council of "eminent persons from outside government . . . along the lines of the Bilderberg" conferences.
The best known Americans who participated in the CFR Task Force that wrote this document are former Massachusetts Governor William Weld and Bill Clinton's immigration chief Doris Meissner. Another participant, American University Professor Robert Pastor, presented the CFR plan at a friendly hearing of Senator Richard Lugar's Foreign Relations Committee on June 9.
Ask your Senators and Representatives which side they are on: the CFR's integrated North American Community or U.S. sovereignty guarded by our own borders.

Pamela Harriman?
I saved the page to my favorites. There are so many books out there that I would love to read. This book sounds great. I used to read a lot of Robert Ludlum, and John Le Carre. Truth is stranger than fiction.
While I thought readers would welcome this information for all of the right reasons, I was dead wrong. The responses I received constituted “Shock and Awe” hate email. I was called things that I have not been called before. Then a nationally syndicated conservative Christian radio host called me a “Bush Basher.” I have not been on his show since. By the way, I am a registered Republican and voted for Bush in 2002.
Joan wrote this in her article about a coming VAT. Boy, that sounds familiar :/ This is a great website.
Thanks for the links. Very informative.
LOL!
No they don't. At least the engineers of the plan don't.
Austerity is their plan. A well educated, financially secure, upwardly mobile middle class is a threat to the elite. As such, educational standards have fallen, consumer debt is at record levels, and most families (if they're even still intact) are busting their humps to remain where they are.
This isn't happening just by chance.
Their goal is for a permanent underclass, a proletariat if you will, which possesses no ability to threaten or enter into the upper crust.
If they ever succeed in eliminating private ownership of firearms and ammunition, it's completely over for the middle class.
Keep your eyes open for some contrived "terrorist act" which will serve as the catalyst for just such a confiscation.
The author never revealed who the woman was.
But she was eminently qualified to initiate him into the fold.
I think we both agree that Tancredo has no chance of becoming president. He doesn't dare run, because if he does, the CFR black helicopters will be on their way.
BTTT
bttt
Oh, right. Even if we were one, and I'm not saying we are, we wouldn't admit it. See? The Clinton legacy lives on!
No; I thought the black helicopters were for scaring the people living in the flyover states into submission when the new world order troops set up bases in which to control out thoughts and actions looking down the barrel of a gun.
I think for Tancredo, a simple plane crash would do.
The fastest growth industry in the USA now is the small business, usually one person, a professional engineer, accountant, programmer, etc or even a person with a truck and a mower, who was working for some fortune 500 company with vacation and tons of paid benefits where the mom could stay home and care for children and make the home but since the layoffs we have had to find work, often going back to the company who fired us to work as a consultant at a higher hourly rate but without and benefits. I was going to say, without any security but since I have been on my own I have never been fired because if I was fired I would be firing myself.
BTW, as this industry of small businesses grows further, it becomes harder for the government to collect all the taxes owed besides the government never meant to allow a large number of workers to be able to file for so many business deductions thereby lowering ones tax rate effectively. I think this will force the government to dump portions of the income tax code and add an additional tax by way of a national sales tax and/or a VAT (value added tax). The purposes of this would be threefold, one, to add revenue by way of taxing the criminal aliens when they spend money. Two, collect a percentage lost when individuals who have filed deductions become more a part of the economy. And three, collect taxes on the Boomer generation who are retiring and have investments and retirement accounts that otherwise would not be taxed by way of the income tax code presently but would be taxed with a national retail sale tax (NRST) when they spend it. Why? Because congress needs our money.
Indeed brother, some things are better left unspoken.
I have to say one thing for the JBS, though. They were right about the UN all along, well before anyone else had courage enough to say it.

Don't forget that it was his father who first used the phrase "new world order" publicly (aside from the tinfoil hat bunch, anyway).

The GOP and GWB waterboys simply amaze me. They would sell our country out just as fast as the RATS so long as GWB and the GOP told them it was good for them.
This CAFTA deal is really a blow to any future immigration enforcement, and was probably intended as such.
All I know is that things definately are going in the wrong direction as far as soverignty and freedom are concerned.
Freedom for Iraqis, chains for U.S. taxpayers.
Truer words were never spoken -- I find it frightening that most people don't even see it. If Clinton had done what this administraton has done, there'd be a militia on every street corner.
