There is no question that the fragile security at our borders bewilders us all. Why is this issue not of the highest priority in Washington, D.C. among the Republicans, Democrats, conservative or liberal Americans?

The press seems to favor the Cindy Sheehan/Jane Fonda side of the issue, with signs screaming (yes, signs can scream), “Open the Borders”, “This is Mexican land” and “Freedom Socialist Workers”! Our borders are sieves. Islamofascists are taking advantage of the movement to create a Mexican right to American territory, or “Azatlan is California”. Why is this not an alarm button in Washington, D.C? Maybe there is a logical reason of which Americans are unaware.

On March 2 at the Texas state capitol in Austin, a grassroots protest began, not with political activists, but genuinely fed-up ordinary citizens motivated by self-interest and patriotism. Thirty years ago, a citizen movement over high taxes in California (Prop. 13) started a national wave that helped elect a conservative president, Ronald Reagan.

A public plan to construct a statewide network of more than 4,000 miles of new toll roads to improve transportation infrastructure has been proposed. Financing will be through “private partnerships” investing billions to build the roads in return for the revenue that tolls will generate over periods of 50 years or more. “Private sector” in this case means foreign-owned companies that will essentially own vital U.S. transportation with rights to build hotels and shopping malls with the roads' rights-of-way.

Necessary abrupt taking of private property through eminent domain will dominate local communities needs and forms of commerce. There will be no discernable difference by the public between tolls and taxes. Citizens will be paying twice for transportation because there will be no reduction in existing gas taxes.

The hidden purpose of this highway is revealed, when it is known that this will benefit NAFTA freight traffic, shipping imports from Mexican ports directly north to Kansas City and beyond. This will help create a “North American Union” of borderless commerce with the unintended consequences of more illegal immigration, smuggling and foreign terrorism (source: Human Events, March 19, 2007).


Kansas City may be the only checkpoint and disbursement center for trucks bringing their cargos into this country from Mexico and Canada. No truck doors will be open and contents inspected, even by drug-sniffing dogs. Instead, trucks will be scanned by high-tech gamma ray screening in drive-by inspections.

Though this effort is in its infancy, the plans are to establish a NAFTA Superhighway, to be the width of eight football fields. It will eventually run from Mexico to Canada, through the middle of the United States. This effort began on March 23, 2005 after a summit held in Waco, Texas.

Attending were President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin and their purpose was to create economic and security areas among the three nations. Calling it the “Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) and avoiding the term “North American Union”, it portends to lay a foundation for a European Union-style integration of the North American continent. This would eventually lead to using the “Amero”, replacing the U.S. dollar, peso and Canadian dollar.

You will not see this being publicly discussed to any extent, but Lou Dobbs of CNN has brought it forward, as well as Phyllis Schafly at eagleforum.org, Jerome Corsi on World Net Daily (worldnetdaily.com), The American Policy Center (540-341-8911 or americapolicy.org) and Dr. Steven Yates in “The United States of North America”. The Council on Foreign Relations (www.cfr.org) will also allow you to view the North American Union in its entirety.

On January 22, Representative Virgil Goode (R.-Va.) introduced House Concurrent Resolution 40. If passed, the resolution would express “the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada.” Anti-North American Union resolutions have been introduced at the state level in South Carolina, Utah and Virginia and more are expected to join the fight.

In summation, the project threatens the safety, security and sovereignty of America in the name of globalization and unfettered free trade. It is not too late to stop this thing, if the people of the United States, believing in the Constitution, make their voices heard in Washington, D.C. The terrible miscarriage of justice in the Border Patrol arrests of agents Ramos and Campean and their case can well be the beginning of awareness of the American public of what is happening to our border security.
