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.
teldon, I have actually left the Republican party because of the Rino's and the gutless wonders who call themselves our Congressmen and Senators. I am still a conservative, but if people ask me my party affiliation, I just tell them conservative independent. Is this wrong? Who knows. But *I* have just had enough of the sorry a$$ed excuses who supposedly represent me.
Phyllis Schafly is right on ...... as usual
Anyone who would advocate the end of our sovereignty, our Constitution or merge us with other countries are traitors. These Benedict Arnolds should be run out of the USA.
I still say something like this MUST be voted in by Americans. So if this illegal legislation is passed looks like the next stop would be the SC. Americans will NEVER STAND FOR THIS. I can't believe anyone in DC would be stupid enough to even try this type of nonsense anyway. They CAN'T GET AWAY WITH IT.
Start with Ted Kennedy ... plllease!!!!
Americans allowed eminent domain.
That idiot should have been run out on a rail long time ago...
You are very brave. Youve been in the lions den. This Canuck has never been to that centre of ultimate socialism.
It was no secret. They were proud of it. I read about it all on FR. First Bush sent the Secty. of State down there the week after the election. Then there was the Crawford round. Powell and Rice have both pushed this and NAFTA,CAFTA,the FTA, S 2941 and various other RINO stealth bills will finish us off. Lou Dobbs talks about this stuff all the time.
Teddy's been selling us out since he got into office, starting with the 1965 Immigration Act. I really believe the man hates the United States because his brothers got murdered here.
You are actually rather fortunate. I'm curious how liberal bleeding hearts think? Whether they really believe their leftist drivel or just shovel it out for mass consumption.
Joe Kennedy was a Hitler apologist and a bootlegger, not much of a role model. What I know about JFK is even though he was a liberal he at least had some patriotism about him and was a staunch anti-communist, the complete opposite of Teddy.
Yes, the few of us who have seen this slipping into our lives for the past few years are outraged. Most people still have no clue what's being planned and implemented. I just left a situation trying to explain some of this to a few people. None of them had a clue. I'm sure they think I'm daft. Then you have the 2% crowd who welcome it with open arms because they are invested in those companies who promote this madness.
Here's what I find most offensive. I did a search for "vincentefox" here on FR. That's an eyefull! How anyone considers Fox or Mexico as an "amigo" or would enter into these "assimilation" agreements is beyond me. While everyone was badmouthing France, look what our good neighbor was doing.

Look dipstick, by now it is obvious to practically everyone with half a brain that the North American Union is now, and has been for some time, in the process of implementation by the stealth strategy called incrementalism.
"I am glad I do not have to go to war with you 'sunshine patriots'".
Similarly, we are delighted we don't have to go to war with the likes of you. We prefer conservatives.
"Your hate for President Bush is clouding your judgement."
Unlike your pathetic inability to understand what is really going on, janet does. Among your more obvious problems is that you refuse to acknowledge what by now has become entirely clear to everyone other than the terminally stupid, i.e., Bush is no conservative. And neither are you. Unless you consider being a GOP Big Tent RINO, liberal or moderate somehow qualifies you as a conservative. You don't make the cut. Real conservatives are more interested in principle than kissing the President's ring.
By the way, I know janetgreen. She is a loyal American conservative. You couldn't carry her shoes.
