Building a North American Community

Chairs: John P. Manley, Pedro Aspe, and William F. Weld Vice Chairs: Thomas P. D'Aquino, Andres Rozental, President, Mexican Council on Foreign Relations, and Robert A. Pastor, Professor and Founding Director of the Center for North American Studies, American University

Press Releases: English | French | Spanish

Sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations in association with the Canadian Council of Chief Executives and the Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales.

North America is vulnerable on several fronts: the region faces terrorist and criminal security threats, increased economic competition from abroad, and uneven economic development at home. In response to these challenges, a trinational, Independent Task Force on the Future of North America has developed a roadmap to promote North American security and advance the well-being of citizens of all three countries.

When the leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States met in Texas recently they underscored the deep ties and shared principles of the three countries. The Council-sponsored Task Force applauds the announced “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America,” but proposes a more ambitious vision of a new community by 2010 and specific recommendations on how to achieve it.

Cruz = in bed (literary and figuratively) with Globalists / open borders / Free traders.

I will never support a Globalist like Ted Cruz - I don't care how many times he mentions Jesus to distract the base whose jobs he enables to be off-shored.

[Mogger]

Canada is our biggest trading partner.

Since their wages, taxation, regulations, etc., are similar to ours, this works with Canada.

Mexico? Will probably never work with Mexico.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

This the Cruzbots know, but for some reason they don’t seem to care.

[Trumpinator]

Canada is like the USA. Mexico is not. In chemistry when you have two different kinds of metals touch you get dissimilar metal corrosion. You prevent that by painting a wall between the two different kinds of metal to prevent corrosion.

And CRUZ is not eligible to be POTUS. I guess he and wifey Heidi will change our country’s name to North American Union, so with Constitution will not matter anymore. Seeing it’s already trampled to hell and back.

Time to put on our tinfoil hats.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The Corker vote, the TPA vote, the Goldman Sachs connections, the CFR participation, all make me suspicious of Cruz.

[Trumpinator]

North American Union is exactly what “they” are going for. Be it under Clinton or Cruz or Rubio or Kasich or Bush. They are all the same to me. The fix was in until Trump came along.

[Reverend Wright]

I like how the Heidi Cruz bio no longer mentions Goldman Sachs.

[Trumpinator]

Good catch.

[Lurkinanloomin]

No tinfoil hats requred for those of us who know what natural born citizen means.

Born here of citizen parents.
Nothing but a US citizen.

No way would the founders have thought a Cuban/Canadian/American was eligible.

[Black Agnes]

Nor does Fox.

My own mother thought Heidi was a stay at home senator’s wife.

She still doesn’t believe me when I tell her Heidi *still* works for GS, she’s just ‘on leave’.

Or that Heidi got a raise and promotion just 9 days after Cruz won that senate seat.

[stockpirate]

Rubio is even less so, neither of his parents were citizens when he was born.

[Haddit]

What is Ted Cruz for President’s Web Page?
I did a quick search and it doesn’t stand out amongst many. I want to see his stated policy.

[Rapunzel]

So true. Trump is our only hope for the UDA. I VOTED EARLY yesterday for Mr. Donald Trump. I will be a poll worker on Tuesday, the 15th.

This morning I red that Heidi Cruz said something about Ted being the face of God to America. That is interesting in like of this article;

"Political consultant Jeff Roe, who is based in Kansas City, is Ted Cruz's campaign manager — and the architect of the Texas senator's surprising first-place finish.

Roe is hardly a household name even amongst the political chattering class. (He has less than 6,000 Twitter followers.) Locally, he's most famous for commissioning the mean-spirited ad that upset State Auditor Tom Schweich and may have factored into his suicide, at least according to former U.S. Senator John Danforth, who blasted "politics that has gone so hideously wrong" in his funeral oration. Roe has been labeled "the Karl Rove of Missouri" — and the people calling him that don't consider it a compliment.

But as last night's results proved, he knows what he's doing. Cruz didn't just hold off all the other candidates vying for Iowa's large block of conservative voters. He did it even while beating Donald Trump. It was a wild, complicated race, and you have to respect the guy who figured out how to propel any candidate, much less one who's thoroughly loathed by everyone he meets, to victory.

In an interview with Chris Wallace a few weeks ago, Roe discussed a few secrets to his success — namely, a simple message and strong branding. Roe comes across as intensely analytical. He doesn't just know how long the average voter looks at a mailer (17 seconds); he knows how long he wants you to look at one touting Cruz (45 seconds). "When we communicate with the voter, we want it to be simple, clear and reinforce our candidate's brand," he says. For Cruz, that was "strong Christian conservative leader."

A recent New York Times Magazine piece delved more deeply into how Roe & Co. made those words resonate for Cruz, who'd hitherto been identified mostly as a conservative, not necessarily a Christian. Writes Robert Draper,

"One morning early in January, in the lobby of a public library in Onawa, Iowa, I listened to Cruz’s campaign manager, Jeff Roe, as he explained a central challenge of his previous few months. ‘‘Prior to March 23,’’ Roe said, ‘‘if you were to word-cloud ‘Ted Cruz,’ which we do every day — take all the Google mentions and Internet searches, dump them into a file and form a cloud — you can’t find ‘evangelical.’ ’’ In other words, voters were largely unaware of the Tea Party firebrand’s religious faith. To convince evangelicals that Ted Cruz was the ‘‘righteous’’ candidate, Roe told me, his team needed to sell him as such, from the very beginning: ‘‘Regardless of what you’ve got in the bank, you’d better determine the narrative of the campaign, and show that’s who we are, every day."

Last night's results suggest that effort worked beautifully.

Yes, Iowa is unusually dominated by evangelicals, and yes, if Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum are any indication, Cruz faces an uphill battle to get the Republican nomination, much less win a single state. But we have to hand it to Roe. Never before has a candidate that so many Americans find this intensely annoying managed to make it this far."
