NAFTA has extended from economic integration into a political and regional security pact which has been achieved through the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) of North America, Plan Mexico, as well as other initiatives. Various pieces of legislation and reports, along with influential individuals have called for closer trilateral cooperation regarding common rules for immigration and security enforcement around the perimeter of the continent. A major part of the U.S. security agenda already includes the defense of North America, but a full blown security zone would bring Canada and Mexico further under U.S. control. A Fortress North America poses a serious threat to our sovereignty and would mean the loss of more civil liberties.

Plans for a North America security perimeter might have seemed like a pipe dream just a short time ago, but it could become a reality sooner than one thinks. Some believe that a perimeter approach to security would be a more effective way of providing safety while ensuring the free flow of trade and investment.

A recent article from the Toronto Star, Canada warms to idea of a tougher ‘perimeter’, suggests that Canadians might now be ready to debate the idea of perimeter security.

don't even think about a North American security perimeter... these goof balls cant even protect a 7 - 11

these are the same idiots that allowed hundreds of thousands of gang members into this country

these are the same buffoons that couldn't stop millions upon millions of Illegal aliens that cross our border

these are the same Grossly Incompetent Federal officials that watch helplessly as bomb making materials are brought onto aircraft

These are the same nut cases that cant stop the tons and tons of drugs coming across our border

no one gave you the right to erase our borders and to take away our sovereignty ... your trials are about ready to begin

I can say TREASON and spell it pretty damn good... I hope you politicians can as well
