Building a North American Union

I had known about this, but was just pointed to the document today by Conservative Blog Therapy. I have mentioned that President Bush’s behavior can only be explained if he was a “One Worlder” or Globalist. This one is going to make you really angry, because our government is planning to sell our country’s sovereignty down the river.

President Bush is following a plan laid out in a 2005 report entitled “Building a North American Community” published by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The CFR report was commissioned to study the Bush administration’s actual policy on illegal immigration and the drive to create the North American Union. From said report:

At their meeting in Waco, Texas, at the end of March 2005,
U.S. President George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and
Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin committed their governments
to a path of cooperation and joint action.We welcome this important
development and offer this report to add urgency and specific recommendations
to strengthen their efforts.

The three countries of North America are each other’s largest
trading partners. More than 80 percent of Canadian and Mexican trade
is with its North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partners.
Almost one-third of U.S. trade is with Canada and Mexico. Trade
among these three countries has tripled in value over the past decade.

In addition, cross-border direct investment has increased sharply, contributing
to the integration of the three economies.
North America is also energy interdependent, though not energy
independent. In 2004, Canada and Mexico were the two largest exporters
of oil to the United States. Canada supplies the United States
with roughly 90 percent of its imported natural gas and all of its
imported electricity.

In addition, all three countries face common security dangers, from
terrorismto drugtrafficking to international organizedcrime.Addressing
these dangers is a major challenge in this dynamic region: the borders
between Canada, the United States, and Mexico will be crossed over
400 million times in 2005.

Here is where it gets interesting.

In March 2005, the leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States adopted a Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), establishing ministerial-level working groups to address key security and economic issues facing North America and setting a short deadline for reporting progress back to their governments. President Bush described the significance of the SPP as putting forward a common commitment “to markets and democracy, freedom and trade, and mutual prosperity and security.” The policy framework articulated by the three leaders is a significant commitment that will benefit from broad discussion and advice. The Task Force is pleased to provide specific advice on how the partnership can be pursued and realized.

To that end, the Task Force proposes the creation by 2010 of a North American community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity. We propose a community based on the principle affirmed in the March 2005 Joint Statement of the three leaders that “our security and prosperity are mutually dependent and complementary.” Its boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within which the movement of people, products, and capital will be legal, orderly and safe. Its goal will be to guarantee a free, secure, just, and prosperous North America.

This drives the point home:

The three governments should commit themselves to the long-term goal of dramatically diminishing the need for the current intensity of the governments’ physical control of cross-border traffic, travel, and trade within North America. A long-term goal for a North American border action plan should be joint screening of travelers from third countries at their first point of entry into North America and the elimination of most controls over the temporary movement of these travelers within North America.

I don’t see a wall, enforcement, or deportation fitting into this plan can you?

Connecting The President’s position with these CFR recommendations explains the President’s push for amnesty, or earned citizenship, and open borders.
