DOBBS: Border security is arguably the critical issue in this country's fight against radical Islamist terrorism. But our borders remain porous. So porous that three million illegal aliens entered this country last year, nearly all of them from Mexico.

Now, incredibly, a panel sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations wants the United States to focus not on the defense of our own borders, but rather create what effectively would be a common border that includes Mexico and Canada.


CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): On Capitol Hill, testimony calling for Americans to start thinking like citizens of North America and treat the U.S., Mexico and Canada like one big country.

ROMANS: The idea here is to make North America more like the European Union. Yet, just this week, voters in two major countries in the European Union voted against upgrading -- updating the European constitution. So clearly, this is not the best week to be trying to sell that idea.

Hmm... News from CNN. Yeah, they certainly don't have any motive in smearing President Bush.

Gotcha - so you are taking the CNN side.... :)

Seriously, Dobbs is echoing the border issue but I have to wonder who he is really representing. He is smart enough to have actually read the CFR proposal.

Now, if Fox falls in Mexico - we may not have a government there we can work with at all and another approach may be needed. But CFR proposals change over time due to current conditions.
