Book features NumbersUSA -- and the proposed merger with Mexico


No, NumbersUSA is not merging with Mexico.

But a national publisher has just re-released a book -- FIGHTING IMMIGRATION ANARCHY by Dan Sheehy -- that has quite a helpful chapter on a number of the plans and efforts by powerful people (including Pres. Bush) to use immigration policy to steadily erode our national sovereignty.

This potential semi-merger with Mexico and Canada is one that more and more of you are writing to us about and asking us to make it a major cause.

It has been a bit difficult to get a handle on this issue without appearing to be running after mere rumors and secret conspiracy theories. I'll say more later in this email, but FIGHTING IMMIGRATION ANARCHY provides a lot of concrete sources and information to begin to bring the "merger" plan into focus.


1. Book salutes and colorfully describes citizens like you and us who are battling the elites' push for mass immigration and open borders


The sub-title of the book is:

AMERICAN PATRIOTS
Battle To Save The Nation

Many of you may remember a first version of this book coming out a year ago. Sheehy self-published the book. But sales, reviews and public appearances by the author went so well last year that a national publisher bought the rights to give the book a wider distribution.

Sheehy has updated chapters and added material on the "merger" and Minutemen.

If you haven't seen the book, it is a lively look at our immigration reform movement through the personal stories of eight American "patriots" whom it says epitomize the grassroots struggle that is currently holding off the country's elites in their efforts to radically change the very nature of the United States through unrestrained immigration.

The book fully recognizes that citizens like you and us are the only power that has stood up to the corporate rightwing's insistence on driving U.S. wages toward global averages and the socialist leftwing's insistence that the American people give up their claims to control over their communities and their nation.

The publisher stated in its press release: "The heroic advocates of change and their urgent brand of citizen activism offer the only effective model of ending illegal immigration, fighting corporate and governmental globalism and preserving American sovereignty."

Chapters are devoted to Terry Anderson (the South Central auto mechanic and radio host), fiery Congressman Tom Tancredo, the founders of the Minutemen and others.

I am honored to have a full chapter devoted to me and our collective NumbersUSA efforts.

I hope if you read this book that you will feel honored, too ... because the chapter is clear that any significance I might have is largely tied to my role in creating an organization that has found more than 200,000 of you to join forces for pinpoint constituency pressure on our federal officials.

I think many of you will enjoy reading the story of the early NumbersUSA activists (going back to 1997) and of the battles and victories that all of us have shared in the last couple of years.

But you'll also enjoy reading about very different leaders in the movement who are playing other types of roles in this truly spontaneous, diverse and grassroots uprising. You won't agree with all the other persons profiled here. But you WILL find all of them to be interesting and colorful American originals.

In reading in some depth about my philosophy and motivations, you may find yourself disagreeing at several points there, too. I feel that part of the power of NumbersUSA is that you don't have to agree with me in all details to make full use of our political tools with which you can make YOUR OWN points from your own philosophy and motivations.

No, NumbersUSA has no financial interest in this book. Because of the spotlight on our NumbersUSA efforts -- and probably out of vanity that I am featured so prominently -- I did want you to be sure to know that the book is out there.

You can buy it at www.Amazon.com.


2. ARE THERE REALLY PLANS TO MERGE U.S., MEXICO AND CANADA?


Sheehy's book provides some answers.

The answers come from public documents that have been described in the general news media.

But the way the information has been provided over the last couple of years has downplayed it to such an extent that the effect has been almost as if the information had been hidden.

NumbersUSA actually informed its members of some of these developments starting two years ago. We especially tried to explain how some Members of Congress who are our close allies and also close allies of President Bush were telling us that one of the grandest dreams that Mr. Bush has for his presidency is to start the process of merging the U.S., Mexico and Canada into a North American Union -- something like the European Union.

This helps explain why the Bush Administration has done almost nothing to try to secure our borders or to stop the flow of illegal foreign workers across our land.

As you probably know, most countries of Europe have joined the European Union, taking away the right of their own citizens to determine many policies that affect their lives. Workers in these countries must face competition from the workers in all the other countries who are free to travel wherever they choose.

If you would like to be kept informed of developments on this issue -- and if you would like to be given opportunities to fight some of these specific "merger" initiatives, you can sign up through our NumbersUSA Interests Survey.

We will be providing continuing information and opportunities to those who:

1. Go to the survey at:

http://numbersusa.com/survey?action=longlist

2. Click on the SECURITY link in the list of topics.

3. Then on the Security page, check your interest in LOSS OF NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY.

Sheehy is especially interested in the role of the Council on Foreign Relations, a non-profit organization with a membership of top leaders from banking, academe, industry, corporate media and government. A number of top Bush Administration officials are members of the Council.

Sheehy quotes a lot from recent Council publications to show its aggressive interest in the free movement of the citizens of the three countries in all the countries.

That would mean, for example, that all 100 million citizens of Mexico would have virtually unlimited travel rights throughout the United States.

The Council is also pushing for full economic integration of the countries.

Sheehy shows how U.S. officials' work of the last year or so has dovetailed with these Council recommendations.

One of my staffers has recently written internally: "A North American Union would link the governments of the United States, Mexico and Canada. From what I can gather, Bush is using a backdoor option to push us in that direction called the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), which was signed by those three countries in 2005. SPP doesn’t need congressional approval."

A lot of organizations -- both conservative and liberal -- have been writing with great concern about this lately.

Although the whole thing sounds just a little too wacky to a lot of us, there really is a strong globalist mindset among many of our nation's leaders that the age of sovereign nations is over.

I don't believe that these leaders hate America or consciously are trying to end self-rule by the American people (or, for that matter, end self-rule by the Mexican and Canadian people). It's just that they don't think much about those consequences. They are driven by a belief that multi-national corporations and international commissions would be able to make better decisions about how we live.

This is a long, complicated and somewhat ambiguous battle.

But one thing that is absolutely certain is that policies that allow higher and higher immigration numbers are among the chief tools for ending American sovereignty as we have known it since 1787.

The rightwing globalists and the leftwing globalists both believe that open borders and mass immigration further their goals.

We must look to liberal and conservative populist leaders for allies against the use of mass immigration to end the American people's control over the nation.

We have often enlisted you in battles against free trade agreements that take away the ability of Congress to make future decisions about immigration -- putting the decisions into the hands of international tribunals.

We will continue to do so in the future.


3. HUTCHISON/PENCE TEMPORARY WORKER/AMNESTY BILL PLAYS INTO THE MERGER PLANS


The new Hutchison/Pence bill that so many of you have been fighting the last week fits well within the "merger" concept.

It expressly ties the movement of massive numbers of new foreign workers in the U.S. to those who are citizens of countries controlled by North American and Central American free trade agreements.

Our continuing thanks to all of you who have been using every fax, phone and meeting opportunity to fight the Hutchison/Pence amnesty and guestworker program.

Please make sure you have taken all actions related to this on your corkboard at:

Some of you will find this talk of loss of sovereignty to just be too weird. If that is the case, I apologize. I wanted all of you to have a chance to know that this element does exist and to sign up to deal with it more if it interests you.

But we'll limit our mobilization on this issue to those of you who sign up on the survey.

THANKS,

-- ROY
