One of the most frequently asked questions I hear is this: Why does the federal government refuse to accept its responsibility to enforce immigration laws and border security?
Now the answer is becoming clear.
And it's not pretty.
The shadow government – the elitists – do indeed have a plan. And it is a plan that does not include any vestige of U.S. sovereignty or constitutional government. It is a plan for merger – a European Union-style government for North America and eventually the rest of the Americas and the world.
It's all spelled out in the latest reports by the Council on Foreign Relations. There's a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community" with a common "outer security perimeter."
Though there has been no national debate on merger with the corruption and socialism of our neighbors to the north and south, there is a roadmap. And unless the American people rise up in righteous indignation against this plan, the roadmap to merger will become the inevitable, guiding force in setting U.S. policy.
In many ways, it already has.
The goal of this merger couldn't be clearer – "a common economic space ... for all people in the region, a space in which trade, capital and people flow freely."
The CFR's strategy calls specifically for "a more open border for the movement of goods and people." It calls for laying "the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America." It calls for us to "harmonize visa and asylum regulations." It calls for us to "harmonize entry screening."
More open? How could it be any more open? How could the flow of people be any freer? Criminals, terrorists, drug dealers and other undesirables cross into the U.S. on a daily basis – unchecked, unmolested, unscreened. How could we have any less enforcement?
Well, imagine Mexico as the 51st state. That's a picture of what the CFR has in mind with regard to the flow of human traffic back and forth between the two countries.
By the way, even though you didn't hear any national debate about this plan, your president has already committed you, your children and your grandchildren to this policy, according to the CFR.
In "Building a North American Community," the shadow government's 59-page manifesto for merger, we are informed President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin "committed their governments" to this goal March 23 when they met in Texas.
You might remember that little get-together. It was there that Bush characterized the the Minuteman organization of heroic citizen border monitors as "vigilantes."
Last month, a follow-up meeting was held in Canada, suggesting this plan be put on the fast track. The U.S. representative, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, explained at that time that "we want to facilitate the flow of traffic across our borders."
Silly me. I thought the objective of Homeland Security was to protect the American people from terrorist attacks! But the real goal is making it easier for Mexicans and Canadians and anyone else using those territories to enter our country undetected and unmolested.
The CFR plan also calls for massive redistribution of wealth – more of your hard-earned money flowing to Mexico and Canada to make this panacea possible. It also calls for the implementation of "the Social Security Totalization Agreement" so that illegal aliens will be certain to bankrupt the system Bush claims to be trying to save.
It is a stunning betrayal of the will of the American people, the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration of Independence and all of our notions of limited government, self-government, freedom, sovereignty, the rule of law and justice.
I don't know how else to say it: It is an open conspiracy to commit treason.
It's time to fight the War of Independence all over again.
In one form or another, I would consider ourselves at war with the Mexican government already....in that dollar flow across the border is their greatest source of capital...and that those harvesting dollars for their country are sucking up social services for free here. Vincente Fox actually has the nerve to have a public snit when questioned about this. This is as great a theft as an army crossing a border and physically pillaging the countryside. Simply annexing states in response to this threat provides on OUR terms, what their people want and need.
Our "Republican" Congressman Jim Kolbe is part of this I believe. I'd love to vote him out of office next year.
The average Mexican has about as much a bag person living on the streets of NY. Mexico's elites are the ones fed by oil and are billionaires. Mexico has very little indiginous industry or services. Most of what is there is foreign. Mexico is economically, politically and socially corrupt. They have a decrepit energy, health, social service and sanitation infrastructure. If it weren't for oil, the country would be classified as a third world country.
I was going to write that but then it occurred to me -- THEY go back and forth all the time. It's only US that can't cross the border with out all the rules and regs, and besides we're learning it's a bad idea anyway. We're definitely not wanted there, just the money.
I'm ignorant in this matter, but does Mexico have an equivalent to the American "Middle Class"? because if not, there'd be little income tax collected because of Mexico's poorer being below the USA poverty level. Unless the tax structure is significantly overhauled into a "sales and/or use tax" type assessment or the minimum poverty level REDUCED, I see Mexico's majority as eligibles for welfare and other poverty level program assistances.
I could be wrong again, though...
Exactly. But why?
Socialisms end result is the same thing. A very few elites at the top and everybody else at the bottom. Without a middle class the population remains ignorent, powerless and subjective to whatever the elites want of them. There is no impetus for Mexico's elites to reform becuase it would spoil their party.
Following this thread I've watched you vacillate between "this would be ok," to "over my dead body".
I guess you are more open minded than I..
It is treason, plain and simple. And we, as a people will go back to 'survivor' and the latest NASCAR race, and forget about it. Which is why our kids and their kids will suffer a life in our very own turd world police state.
Let's all type our rebellion some more, then we'll feel better. Oh, and do stop by the "pray for Pres. Bush" thread, and say how wonderful his administration truly is.
You have misinterpreted. I am for the annexation of Mexico into the US with conditions. The same goes for Canada...though less so.
What I am against is this 'open border' nonsense without any accountability of our southern neighbors. What assurances do we have from Mexico?
So I agree in part and disagree in part. Have Mexico lay down its soverignty and annex them into the Union under our Constitution, Laws and Economic system. Or... no open borders until Mexico can be trusted. (Which will probably be for a long time until a cure for oil has been found)
Just like there is no loyalty to nations on the international level among the elites. They want to divide the globe up into trading blocs to expand their wealth and power, and nations, sovereignty and citizens be damned!
Look...
I agree regarding the greed and power part.
What I don't agree on is this national sovereignty thing. The United States already does what you are afraid of. Each state in the Union is in essence its own country...just bound by common law, economics, political system, etc. As long as that system is just, fair and promotes freedom for all with limited government infringement...then its good for all.
In essence, I believe in the fundamentals of our system so strongly, that I am bigoted toward its superiority over all others and so I would have no problem bringing other nations into the US as states within the union as long as they can assimilate with our way of life. Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic come to mind. So would Canada and to a lesser extent, Mexico.
However, I do not think our country is ready for such endeavors until we can perfect this "grand experiment" in the cause for human freedom.
Here is the problem with your statement. The US has never annexed another nation. It must be a territory. In order for Mexico to become a territory, Mexicans have to give up their nation. Why do you think they will do that without war?
The people of the territory have to vote to be annexed.
The Congress has to debate the annexation.
Each individual state has to ratify the annexation.
Thats how it works.
What about the Republic of Texas?
All this is about, is a one world government. It is the incremental approach they have used all along. European Union on that side of the pond, CAFTA here. When the dust settles, they merge, and bingo, the tiny group of elites run it all. And we get to slave our lives away to pay for the operation.
No, thank you.
You're right. The Joint Resolution passed the Congress on February 28, 1845 gave Texas the right to to join the union directly as a state.
Forgot to add,
The joint resolution made it possible to bypass the territorial phase of annexation.
As part of the annexation deal, the United States got former Texas territories including Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Wyoming.
So basically they skipped the territory phase for Texas, but got the southwestern territories to add to federal control.
One of the purposes of establishing an area as a territory before annexation
