CFR's Plan to Integrate the U.S., Mexico and Canada [Bye Bye USA]

Eagle Forum ^ | July 13, 2005 | Phyllis Schlafly

[twas]

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.

This was the same meeting where Bush called the minutemen vigilantes.

CFR is not working in the best interests of America. They are trying to shove us head long into the World Governmant.
Look out "Mark of the Beast" is almost here.

Remember that treaty supercedes law, and a treaty is all that is needed to bring this to pass. We will not get to vote on it.

[atlanta67]

some people feel absolutely helpless and have no control over their lives so they blame everything on unseen secret groups:

Skull and Bones
Free Masons
CFR
Bildaberg
The Queen of England
Kissneger
Eau Clair Wisconsin Womens Rotary
Johnstown PA, Scout Troop 102

These shady groups have complete control over your lives

Soros is the closest real thing to what the conspiracy theorists are thinking, but even with all his billions he couldnt change the outcome of an election

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

The CFR is quite real.
Here is their website.

Here is a membership roster. It's a few years old. Give it a look. Everybody who is anybody is in the group, all working together to undermine the nation.

Here's some of their own publications where William Weld former RINO governor of Massachusetts lays out the plan.

If you read some of this, you will change your mind, unless you are a paid shill for them.

[swampfox98]

Oh no! Phylis will go the way of Frosty Wooldridge, Michelle Malkin and many others on FR who try to enlighen the dullards.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

She already took a shellacking last night from some of the dimwits.

These fools would even throw Ann Coulter under the bus if she spoke up.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Ann, I know you never post here but suspect you lurk.

I'd love to hear your opinion on this deal.

Also, I love you.

For your mind.

Really.

[Marine_Uncle]

"I believe CFR is big on Greenhouse Gasses and other envioro nonsense. Anything to hurt this nation."

I goes deeper then that. But yes, your observation is correct in MHO.

[atlanta67]

not a paid shill, however nor am i a paranoid john bircher

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Is Phyllis Schlafly a John Bircher?

Reagan thought highly of her.

[hedgetrimmer]

Watch out because I think George Allen is going to be their candidate of choice for the next presidential election.

[hedgetrimmer]

No it doesn't.

By building transportation corridors the length of the region, by integrating our national security, as Chertoff is doing with Mexico and Canada and by making immigration a function of trade rather than a sovereign function of congress, as they are doing with the WTO (which was already passed by Congress) they don't have to go to Congress again.

Remember, we've already set up a national health plan for illegal immigrants, EMTALA, we spend more money on bilingual kids in the schools than we do on the native English kids, we provide plenty of section 8 and subsidized housing, and many states offer drivers licenses, making the illegals feel very much at home here. We give illegal aliens home loans, and the SBA has opened an office in Mexico city. We give money through the inter American development bank and have facillitated the reduction in fees for sending $20 billion in remittances out of the country each year to Mexico, per our directive from the Summit of the Americas in Quebec, in 2000.

Structurally, to facilitate the integration of Canada, the US and Mexico, they have approved the sale of domestic rail lines to Mexican carriers. This does not require a 2/3 vote in congress. Texas gave a Mexican company the right to operate the toll highway planned called the trans Texas corridor. We have the FAST program for Mexican trucks and goods so they never have to stop at the border, and biometric identification for north Americans, so they never have to stop at the border either.


And of course, there is the demonization of the American citizens who set up private border watching groups-- they are vigilantes, doncha know?

None of this requires any vote of congress, and it further and further ties us to Mexico and Canada, so much so to extricate ourselves will be outrageously expensive.

[hedgetrimmer]

Robert Pastor is actually developing many of the Bush Administration policies to facilitate integration.

CFR is not an unseen group.

Neither is the Council of the Americas.

All these groups in addition to George Soros are contributing money and policy in central and south America to facilitate integration.

George Soros is working hand in hand with the Administration on this.

[F16Fighter]

Are you living in an abandoned missile silo in North Dakota?

While you're reading USA Today and framing yet one more 8x11 glossy of President Bush, U.S sovereignty is being sold out.

[TMSuchman]

I have heard that these type of talks have been on going for a long time. The problem was how were they going to get the American people to go along with this. We have a long history of fighting this type of junk, we are also very fiercely independent group as a whole. Not to add that we are also armed to the teeth to boot. Am I a member of the Art Bell/tin foil hat club, not really but I do believe that there are forces in our goverment that would like to put us under their iron boot of european style goverments, where the big brother is a all knowing and powerfull,ever present,all consuming part of our lives!

[F16Fighter]

"Paranoid christian reconstructionists."

Carry on in your delusion of believing in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and especially the idea that the gub'mint of Uncle Sam has "Americans'" best interest at heart.

Btw, do you happen to have a theory as to why a Mexican Invasion has been allowed to go on unabated since 9/11?

[hedgetrimmer]

In Britain, while many citizens were against the ascension of Britain into the EU, their politicians voted for it anyway. The pols shrewdly did not allow the vote to go to the people.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Soros is the closest real thing to what the conspiracy theorists are thinking, but even with all his billions he couldn't change the outcome of an election

Add to that the unions, including the government workers and teachers unions, the MSM, the Democrat moles in government, especially on the intelligence and armed services committees, the foreign infiltrators and the money foreign governments funnel into here, and the left has pretty well established that mythical right wing conspiracy group of bankers who run the world.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Pastor is a vapant, danely and seditious bastard, for sure.
