Presumably, this is why CFR and Bush are pushing the one happy hemisphere deal/globalization so hard. If we can find some way for the hordes to earn a decent living back home, and if we can persuade their govts. this is in their self interest, we won't be overrun by millions of illegals. (Ahem). Well, it's a plan, and so much can and is/will go wrong. We export American jobs by the millions to accomplish this, and down in South America protestors scream that it's not fair for Americans to have all the jobs. Meanwhile, every single day, the MSM connives to bring this country to its knees.
Think of it this way. There are probably about thirty-five nations in the Americas. If each get two representatives to participate in the AU, how much influence will we have over the laws that will be designed to regulate us?
Answer 1/35th. Does that sound like some form of representation that would lead to a better life in the U.S.?
Being the big guy on the block, we will be targeted for a takedown. We will be uttlerly defenseless.
If Fidel Castro, a Manuael Noriega type, and the most recent dunderhead in South America, plus a few other nations with problematic leaders were to have two votes to combine into something like 14 votes against our two, would that make you feel better?
No, this is an extremely flawed premise. The best bet would be to see us skid into oblivion under such a plan. We've already seen how willing our leaders are to defend our nation with regard to border or trade issues.
An AU would simply multiply that problem exponentially. We will have lost a representative form of government.
