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.
Well there is a little item in french history that our royalty better pay attention too. It's called the storming of the Bastille.
"Their security plan is already being implemented."
The point I forgot to make in my post in regard to this is that the conservative position on a "secured border" is used against us in this scheme.
Who exactly wants to be against a secure perimeter? Aren't many of us calling for one along the US-Mex border? A North American security perimeter sounds, to many I would think, as some sort of mega security, and must therefore be supported.
The issue is not security alone, but soveriegnty. If Mexicans and Canadians want to be more harmonized with the US, they must lose their sovereignty, and rights, not the other way around.
As for Canada, they are pretty much a suburb of the U.S. already. Look at a nighttime satellite photo and you will see all the lights of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Edmonton City hugging the border of the U.S. Above that, there is nothing but darkness, just waiting to be exploited by U.S. ingenuity. Canada is Alaska times 10. Huge tracts of land with immeasurable natural resources just waiting to be tapped by the U.S. juggernaut.
SO by the turn of the next century, 2101, the United States of America will stretch from pretty much the Artic Circle to the Panama Canal. Throw in Cuba and the rest of the West Indies as well - Vacationland U.S.A. - just a more tropical version of Disneyland.
By then, we will be turning our sights to Central and South America. The expansion of our great nation has only just begun.
Yes, third world countries have prospered, some of them, anyway, if you don't count Mugabe's little slice of heaven. The real estate market seems to have hit a pothole, however, but what the heck. Things are going along pretty well on the surface, but it's that big, broad undertow that worries me.
The influx all at once of millions of Spanish speaking people with no loyalty to the US and what it stands for on every level. The number of 11 million illegals is baloney, it's closer to 24 million. Different culture, language, mores. They want a better life, fine. Why not apply legally? Why not work to change things in their own country? Instead, they come here in massive numbers, and one third are already on welfare. Not to mention how many are involved in the drug trade, gangs, and are already in jail...at public expense.
Mexican flags aren't being waved for no reason. That they flee intolerable conditions back home, yet come here and shout threats and wave the Mexican flag tells you exactly where their loyalty lies. Mexico is being depopulated, but that's of no concern. Those left behind and undesired by the oligarchy are being urged to head north and keep going until they hit Canada. Plus, the US is being told we need to 'invest in rebuilding Mexico's infrastructure'. Mexico has more riches than you can shake a stick at, yet can't be bothered to fix their own country. If this isn't extortion, it's the next best thing. We're a nation of laws, and our own govt. has connived to do a very big end run around them. If you or I tried it, we'd end up in an orange jump suit.
Remember the good old days when talk of this "New World Order" stuff would instantly get you fitted for a tin foil hat and branded a kook? My how times have changed. Looks like they were right all along.
Eagle FoRum BumP!
Thanks. I see that you are right.
I included him/her because his/her name is on the immigration ping list here.
How far back did we start this discussion? Three or four years ago?
Bringing on the UN Charter.
NO SARCASM HERE!
Our representative government IS GONE. Now the treasonous bastards take pride in lying to us.
How do you stop a speeding train high-jacked by the engineer and crew? Is it time to 'roll' again or do we just go along for the ride?
Americans seem to be the last to know what's going on.
That's because, silly us, we have been accustomed to trusting in our government.
"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it."
- Mark Twain
Do you still think our government deserves our support? I don't.
The Romans, English, and many, many others throughout history eventually found that expansion can be too much of a good thing, especially when the motivation to assimulate to the most effective model by the various cultures is not there.
Why do you think it will be different this time? Oh yeah, that's right.... the new elites are in charge!
We get to make the same mistakes all over again. Yeahhhhh
That is why we are different than any other nation in the history of the civilized world. We are the greatest, richest and most powerful nation in the history of human civilization. Even the poorest people in our country are enjoying the greatest standard of living in the history of the world.
Doesn't Tony Snow push the CFR agenda?
