U.S. legislator warns of Bush plot to merge Canada, the U.S. and Mexico Beth Gorham, Canadian Press

WASHINGTON (CP) - A U.S. legislator who backs tough anti-immigrant measures and more security at the Canada-U.S. border is warning Americans that President George W. Bush is plotting to integrate the continent.

And he says Prime Minister Stephen Harper "buys into it." Colorado Republican Tom Tancredo, revered by some U.S. conservatives for his efforts to staunch the flow of illegal immigrants from Mexico, said this week that Bush is a dangerous internationalist.

"He is going to do what he can to create a place where the idea of America is just that, it's an idea. It's not an actual place defined by borders. I mean this is where the guy is really going," he told WorldNetDaily, a controversial conservative website.

"I know this is dramatic, or maybe somebody would say overly dramatic. But I'm telling you that everything I see leads me to believe that this whole idea of the North American union, it's not something that's just written about by right-wing fringe kooks," said Tancredo, who is considering a run at the presidency.

"It is something in the head of the president of the United States, the president of Mexico, I think the prime minister of Canada buys into it . . ."

Tancredo followed up with an interview on the conservative Fox News network, where he said the borders will lose all their significance, serving merely as "speed bumps" in the flow of goods, services and people.

In October, Tancredo demanded the United States suspend work on the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) signed last year by Canada, Mexico and The United States until Congress examines its goals and agreements, which include standardizing regulations and dismantling other barriers to trade.

The deal to collaborate on a wide range of trade and security issues is part of a larger plot to merge the countries in a European Union-like arrangement using a common currency, he said, with no oversight from legislators.

The congressman, who wrote a book on the border security issue called "In Mortal Danger," is one of four members of Congress who've signed a resolution opposed to a union or a free trade "superhighway system."

They're not the only ones worried about closer ties between the three countries.

A coalition of American conservatives is organizing a grassroots effort to make it an issue in the 2008 presidential race and vow to campaign against any candidate, Republican or Democrat, who won't side with them.

The movement was spearheaded in October by Howard Phillips, chairman of the public policy group Conservative Caucus, anti-feminist activist Phyllis Schlafly and author Jerome Corsi.

The group is calling for a congressional investigation into the SPP and full disclosure of all documents when the new Congress run by Democrats begins in January. They're getting support from the Minuteman Project that monitors the borders to deter illegal crossings, a group Bush has called vigilantes.

Supporters of the anti-union stand point out that a prominent three-country task force backed by Canada's business elite has promoted an elaborate vision of a common economy and security perimeter.

The plan, released last year, drew fire from some Canadians who saw it as a dangerous surrender of sovereignty designed to benefit big business.

Tancredo, who has often talked about the "porous" Canada-U.S. border, stirred up controversy last year when he mused on a Florida radio show that America could destroy Islamic holy sites like Mecca if there's another terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

While beloved by many right-wingers and immigration hawks, Tancredo was recently labelled one of the 10 worst congressmen by Rolling Stone magazine.

The publication noted he wants to deport every undocumented worker in the United States, a proposal that would cost at least US$200 billion, and has called for halting all immigration, legal or otherwise.

This is why we need to draft Tancredo for the GOP Presidential nomination.

It was stated by Neil Cavuto within the past 24 hrs that TANCREDO, if he were to run for Pres today.............MIGHT JUST WIN.

Now, to me, that's saying quite a mouthful coming out of Cavuto on national tv. Knock me over with a feather.

Also: TANCREDO has been on one radio show after the other in the past days. He's very carefully explaining the SPP and North American Hemispheric plans. Getting more airtime/coverage than I expected.

This is a positive new factor to be considered
and now I understand exactly why Kudlow and McIntyre ATTACKED him visciously on Saturday! Someone{s} fear TANCREDO and his message and they've decided not to let any grass grow under their feet in attempting to destroy him.

It sounds a looks like that is what he is going to do. He has recieved alot more attention just lately and he sounds like the presidency is exactly where he is headed. Let's hope so.

Let's do it.

If its not done, all Republicans might as well leave and totally abandon the party and form another one..one with a nationalist philosophy and a mindset of common sense.

American citizens first!

Common sense - sure don't see much of that in the political parties today.

I do feel we're ripe for a 3rd party. Many Reps are jumping ship and they aren't joining the Dems.

And I'd like to hear a leader talk more nationalistic instead of globalistic. Someone to stand up for our dwindling middle class.
