NOTE: This article was published in July, 2005. However, IMHO, it explains a lot towards why our government refuses to do anything substantial about the illegal alien problem.
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has just let the cat out of the bag about what's really behind our trade agreements and security partnerships with the other North American countries. A 59-page CFR document spells out a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community" with a common "outer security perimeter."
"Community" means integrating the United States with the corruption, socialism, poverty and population of Mexico and Canada. "Common perimeter" means wide-open U.S. borders between the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
"Community" is sometimes called "space" but the CFR goal is clear: "a common economic space ... for all people in the region, a space in which trade, capital, and people flow freely." The CFR's "integrated" strategy calls for "a more open border for the movement of goods and people."
The CFR document lays "the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America." The "common security perimeter" will require us to "harmonize visa and asylum regulations" with Mexico and Canada, "harmonize entry screening," and "fully share data about the exit and entry of foreign nationals."
This CFR document, called "Building a North American Community," asserts that George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin "committed their governments" to this goal when they met at Bush's ranch and at Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005. The three adopted the "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" and assigned "working groups" to fill in the details.
It was at this same meeting, grandly called the North American summit, that President Bush pinned the epithet "vigilantes" on the volunteers guarding our border in Arizona.
A follow-up meeting was held in Ottawa on June 27, where the U.S. representative, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, told a news conference that "we want to facilitate the flow of traffic across our borders." The White House issued a statement that the Ottawa report "represents an important first step in achieving the goals of the Security and Prosperity Partnership."
The CFR document calls for creating a "North American preference" so that employers can recruit low-paid workers from anywhere in North America. No longer will illegal aliens have to be smuggled across the border; employers can openly recruit foreigners willing to work for a fraction of U.S. wages.
Just to make sure that bringing cheap labor from Mexico is an essential part of the plan, the CFR document calls for "a seamless North American market" and for "the extension of full labor mobility to Mexico."
The document's frequent references to "security" are just a cover for the real objectives. The document's "security cooperation" includes the registration of ballistics and explosives, while Canada specifically refused to cooperate with our Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).
To no one's surprise, the CFR plan calls for massive U.S. foreign aid to the other countries. The burden on the U.S. taxpayers will include so-called "multilateral development" from the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, "long-term loans in pesos," and a North American Investment Fund to send U.S. private capital to Mexico.
The experience of the European Union and the World Trade Organization makes it clear that a common market requires a court system, so the CFR document calls for "a permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution." Get ready for decisions from non-American judges who make up their rules ad hoc and probably hate the United States anyway.
The CFR document calls for allowing Mexican trucks "unlimited access" to the United States, including the hauling of local loads between U.S. cities. The CFR document calls for adopting a "tested once" principle for pharmaceuticals, by which a product tested in Mexico will automatically be considered to have met U.S. standards.
The CFR document demands that we implement "the Social Security Totalization Agreement negotiated between the United States and Mexico." That's code language for putting illegal aliens into the U.S. Social Security system, which is bound to bankrupt the system.
Here's another handout included in the plan. U.S. taxpayers are supposed to create a major fund to finance 60,000 Mexican students to study in U.S. colleges.
To ensure that the U.S. government carries out this plan so that it is "achievable" within five years, the CFR calls for supervision by a North American Advisory Council of "eminent persons from outside government . . . along the lines of the Bilderberg" conferences.
The best known Americans who participated in the CFR Task Force that wrote this document are former Massachusetts Governor William Weld and Bill Clinton's immigration chief Doris Meissner. Another participant, American University Professor Robert Pastor, presented the CFR plan at a friendly hearing of Senator Richard Lugar's Foreign Relations Committee on June 9.
Ask your Senators and Representatives which side they are on: the CFR's integrated North American Community or U.S. sovereignty guarded by our own borders.
wishes to? I think they already have and now that amnesty is in the air, they are crossing in cattle trains.
"the CFR calls for supervision by a North American Advisory Council of "eminent persons from outside government . . . along the lines of the Bilderberg" conferences."
CFR .... Bilderbergs ...
These elitist "one-world government" clowns are at it again, eh?

OH YEAH, those propsals will go down real well in the US!!
Dont forget. The fedgov.con has been printing voter ballots in spanish for about 15 years now. They sold us down the river into this chaos a long long time ago. They know it will fracture the USA. I believe its their way to gain greater control and eliminate that second amendment.
Third world countries outside of africa are enjoying a brighter future and capitalism is improving people's lives everywhere and the US has a very low unemployment rate, with a rising stock market, a euphoric real estate market, cheap goods at walmart, and this is in spite of the 2000 dot com collapse, a war in iraq, and 67 dollar oil. I'd say things are going pretty well.
Let's see, we'd have to have a touch of Mexico on the flag, otherwise it'd be insulting to Hispanics. Red and green with a dove. (Any and all depiction of the American eagle would be verboten.) Just around the corner would be putting the US military and economy under UN control, the World court superceding US law, which by then would be gone anyway, and UN taxation of every human being on the planet. Since the UN is run by third world thugs, we'd be in considerable trouble. Doomed, in fact.
Americans seem to be the last to know what's going on.

The question is, will it also fracture FDR's America? I wonder if some conservatives in office back this for that reason?
Open borders will either: a) lead to an expansion of wealth transfer, as someone mentioned, or b) collapse the welfare state.
The latter is not undesireable.
But if it's the former, we are farther back in the task of reform. The Reagan revolution will be rolled back.
Either way, the Bushes are the modern day Rockefellars, and are damaging the GOP. They don't call themselves conservatives.
We already have a country called France.
For all the left wing academic wailing about imperialism and colonialism, I think we are seeing before our eyes that the choices are not between colonization or no colonization, but who colonizes who.
Put a hammer and sickle in the center of that white surrender flag and you've really got it.
So screw America, I got mine?
It's the dishonesty of all this that gets me. Elites believed they had the right to arrange the world to their design. What it would do to American jobs, sovereignty, laws, culture, mores, etc. wasn't even a blip on their radar. In the scheme of things, not even worthy of mention. (Well, it's now an annoying blip.)
I think we have ourselves a coup going on.
Our representative government seems to be fading fast.
That's because, silly us, we have been accustomed to trusting in our government.
I believe Happy2BMe has been banned.
