Look Who's Arriving on the NAFTA Train

As always, follow the money.

George H. W. Bush has a long history of this “new world order” BS too.

Don’t forget, NAFTA was Reagan’s idea.

Reagan was not the second coming. He was wrong.

Don't forget about ferromex, mexico’s supposedly formerly nationalized railroad. KCS only services rail traffic from the customs interchange through limited territory. These illegals are not gettiing across the border hopping trains, if that is what this article is implying. Point the finger at the mexican railroads for letting people hop their trains. The US railroads have their own police forces. Ever hear the term “roustabout”? Trust me, you really don't want to be thrown off of a moving train, and I've seen railroad cops do just that with trespassers.

That appears odd coming from someone who thinks Vladimir Putin is the second coming (but that’s a subject for another thread).

[make no mistake]

It’s got to be more than cheap labor why they are promoting illegal occupation. What is the real reason? One world gov. ? ? ?

[Veto!]

Thanks for posting, depressing as it is.

Before GWB was elected the first time, he gave a little-reported speech on The Century of the Americas, idealizing the economic union of North and South America. (Had the transcript on my old ‘puter, long consigned to the trash bin of history.)

At the same time, intelligence sources were speculating that such a union might be the only way to keep us safe from Islam and other terrorists. (Some poster had full access to Stratfor at the time and posted many excerpts.)

Lofty ideas, the reality is something else entirely. The ever-soaring birthrate in Latin American countries is going to sink every country, including the USA. Economies cannot keep pace.

It goes back long before Reagan.

Bush 1 was on the secret flight with Henry Kissinger to set up a meeting with the leaders of China. China was basically 3rd world at the time. Bush 1 was a “new world order” guy from day 1.

Our free trade agreements are usually us trading our jobs for free.

Texas planned to build a massive North American Free Trade Agreement superhighway that would begin at its southern border with Mexico and eventually reach northern U.S. cities.

Not Texas, Rick Perry.

But, but, Michael Medved ridicules Jerome Corsi and those who believe that there is any truth to the ‘North American Union’ myth.

And Hugh Hewitt refers to the same people as ‘nutters’.

So if these two stalwarts of the GOPe’s Salem Radio propaganda office say that there’s nothing to see here then there can’t be any truth to any of this. And there are no illegal alien kids flooding the border either. /s

I'm having Atlas Shrugged flashbacks as we discuss railroads going into Mexico from the US. Francisco D'Anconia...where are you? Hank Rearden? Who is John Galt? Can Taggart Transcontinental be far behind?

But, but, Michael Medved ridicules Jerome Corsi and those who believe that there is any truth to the ‘North American Union’ myth.

Corsi predicted that the NAU would be in full effect by 2010. How did that prediction work out?

"What is the real reason"

In a capital market economy you need free flow of capital, goods, and labor.

[boycott]

We’ve got about 60-70 million more people since 1994. That should easily explain 25 million more jobs.

[boycott]

This one line should say it all:

“The oversupply of foreigners willing to work for lower wages has made it impossible for average American wages to increase in more than a decade, ....”

[1rudeboy]

Fair enough. How do you propose to establish that we lost jobs because of NAFTA, then?

[Pelham]

Aw, did I make fun of one of your heroes?

How’s the No Borders movement doing today?
