Politicians get it, it is the American public that doesn't get it. Border control does not fit in with the Trojan Horse both parties are pushing called Free Trade. A front for a political agenda that actually has little to do with Free Trade and more to do with bringing the American citizen under international law while scrapping the Constitution.
Do a google search of FTAA, Free Trade of the Americas Agreement that is to be implemented by 2005. Bush has pushed for the "Fast Track" ability to sign onto trade agreements and have the congress vote up or down on them.
The same congress that claims not to have read or understood GATT, NAFTA, and the Patriot Act. The same Senate that claims not to have read the package of 34 treaties ceeding the control of our resources to the U.N.
Now will they claim not to have understood that by passing this agreement that they ditched our Constitution and placed us under international laws that supercede our Constitution? Sure they will.
Time is growing short, very short, to educate oneself as to FTAA and what it's aims and intentions are. Much is said at the FTAA web site about the prosecution of those that protest this abomination by tagging them with the hate speech, xenophobia lable and urging judges hemisphere wide to find a way to lay heavy punishment on such cases, and little is said about Free Trade.
There is a devastating agenda afoot and both parties are in on it up to their eyeballs.
