Approximately 18 to 24 months ago, folks were coming on this forum to state that the transnational corridor through Texas up through Candada was an ultra-right wing conspiracy theory.

The call by President Bush for there to be a three nation security plan, which would see our borders relaxed and the parimeter of the three become the new line to defend, means nothing at all to those who slam others for recognizing it for what it is.

Essentially we have idiots claiming that that no amnesty was proposed earlier this year, and that no FTAA is on the drawing board.

Well folks, sip at your own risk. No thanks!

This transnational security plan is not a North American Union. Keep repeating until you’re somewhat drowsey... oh neverming, I think some people have already achieved that state.

That is simply not true, just as your same claim about the FTAA is not true now. One problem that people who believe in conspiracy theories have (and it's central to their pathology) is that they see motivations that simply aren't there, or never existed.

So what you were seeing is (this is a rough diagram of how the faulty reasoning occurs):

past claim: There is a conspiracy to erase the border by building the road!
past counterclaim: The road already exists, and a plan to expand the road exists, but it is not a conspiracy.
resulting claim: Someone said there (either) is no road or no plan to expand it!
