Slipped my mind...
Immigration issues are always ripe for demagoguery...
And your own demagoguery, in an attempt to persuade (?), is evident in your article.

The EU is a bad model to follow. It is becoming the Soviet Union without the concentration camps. Imagine the relatively dynamic countries of North America moving to a centrally planned economy with social legislation by mostly unlected "experts" (special intrest groups). The proposed North American Union would soon become as poor and corrupt as Mexico with the worst nanny-statism of the Canadian Liberals. The socialists see this as an opportunity to get over 300 million people that they can mold together in a giant social experiment.
