The Plans for Economic Integration(Phyllis Schlafly)

Now that the game plan is laid out, we can connect the dots: the North American Free Trade Agreement; the admission of Mexican trucks onto U.S. highways; the contract to build the TransTexas Corridor and the plans to extend it into a NAFTA Superhighway; making Kansas City an international "port"; the "totalization" of illegal immigrants into the U.S. Social Security system; and the recently defeated Senate amnesty bill. That bill would have integrated 20 million illegal immigrants into the U.S. labor force, locked us (by Section 413) into the SPP, and spent massive foreign aid to "improve the standard of living in Mexico."

It's unlikely that U.S. workers want to "pool" their jobs with Mexico where the median minimum wage is $5 a day.

U.S. workers may not like that, but many U.S. businesses would, especially if workers were held in place by the U.S. government.

Let’s see what does the average US have to gain from this?

More crime.

Overcrowding of schools, prisons, hospitals.

Declining wages in most blue collar jobs....then after a few years declining wages in white collar jobs.

Higher property taxes.

Higher payroll taxes....and ultimately higher income taxes.

This is nothing more than a socialist transfer of wealth.

[Monterrosa-24]

“...No wonder the CSIS admits that its report was developed in “seven closed-door roundtable sessions.” Let’s call the roll of the trustees of this influential think tank: Henry Kissinger, who was the architect of the Nixon-Ford policies repudiated by Ronald Reagan; James R. Schlesinger, the secretary of defense for Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford; Zbigniew Brzezinski, the trilateralist who was President Jimmy Carter’s chief foreign policy adviser. William Cohen, who was President Bill Clinton’s secretary of defense; Harold Brown, who was the secretary of the Air Force carrying out Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara’s disarmament policies in the 1960s; and Brent Scowcroft, former vice chairman of Kissinger Associates and national security adviser to President George H.W. Bush...”

Phyllis knows well that good but not so bright fellas get led around by the nose when they get hosted and toasted by the gold cuff-link crowd. She wrote AMBUSH AT VLADIVOSTOK about how President Ford got sequestered and manipulated in negotiations. The same thing happened in El Salvador when Cristiani signed away so much to the FMLN erasing much of El Salvador’s “peace dividend” (by the inevitable rise in crime due to former guerrillas filling the police ranks and the abolition of much of the traditional and successful security forces).

Mrs. Schlafly is still one of my favorite Yankee ladies.

This is nothing more than a socialist transfer of wealth.

Whose wealth? (Answer: the wealth of those who really ain't got any -- us.)

Be assured, the really wealthy won't be touched for a dime.

Bumping!

[desherwood7]

How do you fight this?

[kellynla]

Third Party
conservative, prolife, America first, term limits

[Armando Guerra]

Unfortunately, these socialists have it wrong. What is really needed is for Mexico to open its doors to American (and Mexican) investors. They need to create more investment zones, lower taxes, ease ownership restrictions, ease regulations, curtail corruption, and allow capitalism to flourish. Make it easier for Americans to invest and create jobs there. I would rather be able to go to Wal-Mart and buy cheap goods manufactured in Mexico than China. If there were jobs and opportunities in Mexico they wouldn’t have to come here. Create greater prosperity and raise the educational standards there first and THEN you can talk about a closer integration of markets and enhanced security.

Duncan Hunter defunded the Mexican Trucking bill. He may be our only hope.

Wonder why this isn’t brought up in the debates by Steffie and such?

[RC2]

Conspiracy “Theory”? Not a “Theory”, I have heard of this rumbling since the early 60’s. It’s not a theory, this is what our government wants. For the NAU to happen though, they have to get rid of our Constitution...........watch this one closely.

[longtermmemmory]

Comunisms useful idiots are alive and well and in control of the United States State department.

Who was it that wrote about the rampant communist control of the Agriculture Department in the 1950’s? (remember all that grain trade with the USSR?)

[kellynla]

Before I would invest a dime in Mexico, Mexicans would have to first “take out their trash”...
Mexico has to be one of the most criminally infested countries in the world! And we won’t even talk about the criminals in government!!!
And if Mexico did finally clean up its act, then the illegals in this country would go home...voluntarily.

of course that hasn’t stopped Ford & Chrysler, just to name a couple of corporations, from investing in ol’ Mexico...

[Armando Guerra]

And if Mexico did finally clean up its act, then the illegals in this country would go home...voluntarily.

Bingo. Given a choice, there may be some Mexicans who would rather be in the U.S. but most would prefer to stay home. However, as long as the situation there remains the same they will continue to want to come here. Instead of the Mexican President pushing GWB for immigration reform here, GWB should be pushing for a major reform of their system there. Our problems with illegals are somehow interpreted to be a sign of problems in our country when it really is a blaring sign of the problems in Mexico. Reform the system there, clean it up, and make it favorable for investment and economic growth. That would solve our immigration problems here. Once Mexico is on a more equal footing with the U.S., then we can talk about a closer integration.

[nicmarlo]

that’s a fact!

[desherwood7]

You’re right. The third party is slowly becoming the only hope to clean up the mess in D.C.

[desherwood7]

Do you think Rep.Hunter would run third party if he lost the Republican Nomination?

[Sybeck1]

No, he doesn’t have McCain’s ego and he knows doing so would surrender the country to the Hilldebeast for sure.
