Thread: North American Union blurs borders

North American Union blurs borders

We hear a lot about immigration. Counties and municipalities are taking matters into their own hands, attempting to do their part to withstand the avalanche of criminals from our southern border. These criminals respond by burning our precious flag and label us racists for demanding respect for the law.

What we don't hear much about is how the immigration issue is a minor part of a much bigger issue: the coming North American Union.

In 2005, the Council on Foreign Relations published the "Building a North American Community," a report that describes a future North American Union and ideas for how to get there.

By 2010 North America will be a single community with one "common perimeter" and no internal borders. There is also talk of redistribution of wealth -- meaning, no doubt, that rich Americans should be taxed to aid Mexico in eliminating its perennial corruption and squalid living conditions.

To date, the leaders of the United States, Canada and Mexico have followed the CFR's blueprint in establishment of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America. Our government portrays the partnership as being in the best interests of Americans. Who wouldn't want security and prosperity? However, the connection between security and open borders doesn't seem to exist. The majority of Americans are already prosperous by global standards.

I should point out that the final product of the partnership will not be another NAFTA. There will be free trade, not to mention free movement of people and potential terrorists between the three nations of North America. But the major problem is that the concept undermines the United States more so than any attack or war in our history. The last time that inhabitants of this land were dealt such a blow to their freedom, they founded a new nation.

The government's attempt to sneak into a North American Union, one small step at a time, violates the nation's core principles. The SPP is subject to neither authorization nor oversight of Congress. It is controlled by the executive branch, and enforced through regulations, rather than laws created through the proper legislative process. Basically, the United States is beginning to give up its sovereignty without the average citizen or elected representatives having a say. It's the worst foreign policy decision since Woodrow Wilson's laughable League of Nations.

In light of this conspiracy, the federal government's refusal to enforce immigration laws doesn't seem so strange. It's the first step in opening the borders. As if the situation wasn't bad enough, we can look forward to even greater erosion of our culture and traditions.

Habla espanol? If not, you'd better learn.

A number of legislators have worked hard to oppose the SPP and the North American Union it will lead to, including presidential candidates Reps. Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul. They receive little mainstream media attention, as cameras are focused on the two major socialist, Democratic candidates.

America needs to pay attention to men like these, who strive to preserve our nation's existence. If not, you may well wake up in a union some day soon, and it won't be the one the Yankees fought for.

Glad to see someone passed on the column.

The original, uncensored version is available on my blog, http://theindependentopinion.blogspot.com .

The best way to fight a North American Union is by educating the un/mis-informed, and to make enough noise about it that the do-nothing politicians in Washington have to listen.

Best regards,

Chris,

Shook me for a sec. We didn't sensor the report, the MSM did.

I was just kidding about the censorship, but the article took some last minute cuts before publication, which resulted in some awkward phrases and the like. The content is the same, but the version on my blog is better and reads more smoothly.
