I agree with everything you say. However, for it to happen it would have to be approved by two thirds of the Senate. Ain't gonna happen.

More than two thirds of the Senate are members of the CFR.

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.

However, for it to happen it would have to be approved by two thirds of the Senate.

2/3 of the FULL Senate, or just 2/3 of those present. Ever hear of midnight vote sessions?
