NAFTA Super Highway Fleecing America
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), touted as the means of improving the lives of Americans through free trade with Mexico and Canada, was the first step in plans to create a North American Union similar to the European Union, according to Kelly Taylor, an Austin-based writer and producer of a politically based TV talk show. The new alliance will be served by a super highway that will run from Mexico through the United States, into Canada. The first leg is the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC) to be built and maintained by private foreign contractors and plans call for similar super highways throughout the United States and into Mexico and Canada. For the most part, the public has been kept in the dark about the massive scope of the projects until recently. On June 29, 2006, Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced S. 3622, the "North American Investment Fund Act" creating a fund to pay for highway infrastructure throughout Mexico. Section 4 reads: "The Fund shall make grants for projects...to construct roads in Mexico to facilitate trade between Mexico and Canada and Mexico and the United States." President Bush, along with Mexico's Vicente Fox and Canada's Prime Minister Martin set the wheels in motion when they signed the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) back in 2005. Taylor claims the SPP's "…ultimate aim is the dissolution of the United States into a North American Union patterned after the increasingly dictatorial regional government now running the European Union. Henceforth, under this plan, the borders between our nations will be incrementally erased in favor of a joint 'perimeter' around all three countries." After years of secrecy, the American people are finally seeing how they are being conned into building and paying for a super highway across North America.

Read George W. Bush's Speech,
which actually FORETOLD of HIS PLANS FOR A NORTH AMERICAN UNION,
which he made BEFORE he became president:
"George W. Bush's Speech on Latin America", which he made in Miami, Florida on Friday, Aug. 25, 2000 :
http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=2000/8/26/195405
George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000:
Excerpts:
We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.
Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.
For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.
As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.
...
Weak neighbors export problems: environmental trouble, illegal immigration, even crime, drugs and violence. Strong neighbors export their goods, and buy ours -- creating jobs and good will.
We seek, not just good neighbors, but strong partners. We seek, not just progress, but shared prosperity. With persistence and courage, we shaped the last century into an American century. With leadership and commitment, this can be the century of the Americas.
In 1992 -- the 500th anniversary of Spanish contact with America - we seemed well on our way toward that vision. The United States and our friends in the region had overcome the debt crisis. We negotiated the end of cruel and bloody wars. Together, we confronted inflation and checked nuclear proliferation. Democracy was advancing. And the North American Free Trade Agreement promised to be a blueprint for free trade throughout the hemisphere.
But the promise of that moment has been squandered. The Clinton/Gore administration has had no strategy. We have seen summits without substance, and reaction instead of action. We were promised fast-track trade authority -- as every American president has had for 25 years. And yet this administration failed to get it. We were promised a Free Trade Area of the Americas.
Yet it never happened. Chile was promised partnership in NAFTA. And it was "delayed."
And in spite of real, even dramatic progress in some parts of Latin America, problems have grown into crises. Narcotic traffickers seek to gain control of a government. Many free nations still struggle to show economic results for all their citizens. And we can never forget the vast urban slums where young children scramble for survival.
Should I become president, I will look South, not as an afterthought, but as a fundamental commitment of my presidency. Just as we ended the great divide between East and West, so today we can overcome the North-South divide.
This begins with a renewed commitment to democracy and freedom in this hemisphere -- because human freedom, in the long run, is our best weapon against poverty, disease and tyranny.
As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.
It is a tribute to a promising new president -- and a tribute to a visionary out-going president as well.
Later today, I will meet with the president-elect of Mexico, and begin what I hope is a strong and constant friendship. I have a vision for our two countries. The United States is destined to have a "special relationship" with Mexico, as clear and strong as we have had with Canada and Great Britain. Historically, we have had no closer friends and allies. And with Canada, our partner in NATO and NAFTA, we share, not just a border, but a bond of good will. Our ties of history and heritage with Mexico are just as deep.
Differences are inevitable between us. But they will be differences among family, not between rivals.
To strengthen that bond, our two countries need a meeting at the highest level, shortly after the American election -- even before the new presidents of our nations are inaugurated.
Should I be elected, I will use that November summit to keep Mexican-American relations moving forward.
We must talk about the availability and cleanliness of water on both sides of the border ... about opening the promise of NAFTA to small businesses and entrepreneurs ... about economic development in areas of Mexico that send illegal immigrants to this country ... about improving health and criminal justice in both nations.
Mexico is an emerging success story. Yet elsewhere in this hemisphere, democracy is still on trial -- threatened by the false prophets of populism.
I look forward to working closely with the nations of this hemisphere but recognize that they cannot be bullied into progress. We will treat all Americans -- North, Central and South -- with dignity. I will improve our bilateral relations and work with the Organization of American States to confront the problems of our hemisphere.
My administration will strengthen the architecture of democracy in Latin America -- the institutions that make democracy real and successful. The basics of democracy should be refreshed with programs that train responsible police and judges. We will encourage professional and civilian-controlled militaries, through contact with our own. The principles of free speech should be advanced through American media exchanges. We will create a new "American Fellows" program, inviting young men and women throughout the Americas to work for a year in various agencies of our government. We will encourage party-building and help monitor elections. These are ways to treat the symptoms of corruption and discord before they turn into violence and abuse of human rights.
To all the nations of Latin America I say: As long as you are on the road toward liberty, you will not be alone. As long as you are moving toward freedom, you will have a steady friend in the United States of America.
The health of a democracy depends on real economic gains for average citizens. And this requires Latin American governments to act for themselves: to lift the barriers of bureaucracy and over-regulation that prevent the poor from creating legal small businesses. To give more priority and funding to universal education -- because no nation can afford to squander the talent of its people.
Our nation can be an ally in these efforts. The future of this hemisphere lies with the creation of millions of small businesses among the poor - the surest path out of poverty. But the poor in Latin America often have no access to small amounts of working capital -- to credit cards or bank loans -- that would help them buy something as simple as an oven to bake and sell bread. So I support what are called "microloans" -- small, no-collateral loans allowing the poor to build a business and employ their neighbors. As president, I will ask Congress for $100 million dollars to help microcredit organizations that are working in Latin America. And I will ask the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank to add to this investment. We will apply the power of markets to the needs of the poor.
We can also use the power of debt reduction to relieve poverty and protect the resources that sustain life in the Americas. We will link debt reduction and the conservation of tropical forests. These forests affect the air we breathe, the food we eat, medicines that cure disease, and are home to more than half of Earth's animal and plant species. Expanding the aims of the Tropical Forest Conservation Act, I will ask Congress to provide $100 million to support the exchange of debt reduction for the protection of tropical forests.

Here is an excerpt of an EXCELLENT article, which critiques the above speech by Bush, and in which, the author, Lawrence Auster,
TRIED TO WARN US ABOUT BUSH DESTROYING AMERICA'S SOVEREIGNITY:
In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on.

Kansas City customs port considered Mexican soil?
WND investigation finds new evidence U.S. facility to be on foreign territory
Posted: July 5, 2006
1:00 a.m. Eastern
By Jerome R. Corsi
A Mexican customs facility planned for Kansas City's inland port may have to be considered the sovereign soil of Mexico as part of an effort to lure officials in that country into cooperating with the Missouri development project.
Despite adamant denials by Kansas City Area Development Council officials, WND has obtained e-mails and other documents from top executives with the KCSmartPort project that suggest such a facility would by necessity be considered Mexican territory – despite its presence in the heartland of the U.S.
The documents were obtained with the assistance of Joyce Mucci, the founder of the Mid-America Immigration Reform Coalition, under the provisions of the Missouri Sunshine Law from the City of Kansas City, Mo., and from the Missouri Department of Economic Development.
The documents reveal a two-year campaign initiated in 2004 and managed by top SmartPort officials to win Mexico's agreement to establish the Mexican customs facility within the Kansas City "inland port." Kansas City SmartPort launched a concerted effort to advance the idea, holding numerous meetings with Mexican government officials in Mexico and in Washington to push the Mexican port idea in concert. The effort involved Missouri elected officials, including members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.
The documents make clear that Mexico demanded Kansas City pay all costs.
To date, the Kansas City Council has voted a $2.5 million loan to KC SmartPort to build the Mexican customs facility in the West Bottoms near Kemper Arena on city-owned land east of Liberty Street and mostly south of Interstate 670.
"Kansas City, Mo., is leasing the site to Kansas City SmartPort," Tasha Hammes of the development council wrote to WND last month. "It will NOT be leased to any Mexican government agency or to be sovereign territory of Mexico."
Yet, an e-mail written June 21, 2004, by Chris Gutierrez, the president of the KC SmartPort, stated that the Mexican customs office space "would need to be designated as Mexican sovereign territory and meet certain requirements."
Even more recently, an e-mail dated March 10 of this year was sent by Gutierrez to a long list of recipients that left no doubt that KC SmartPort has not yet received federal government approval to move forward with the Mexican customs facility. Gutierrez informed the e-mail recipients that the processing a critical form, designated "C-175," needs approval by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection before the form is passed to the State Department for final approval. The processing and approval of the C-175 application is holding up the final approval of the Mexican customs facility.
In the same memo, Gutierrez reported on a recent meeting in Washington: "Both sides (U.S. and Mexican officials) met several weeks ago and the 'document' or as the U.S. refers to it the 'C-175' is near completion. This document is the basis for the procedural, regulatory, jurisdictional, etc. for the project. It defines what will happen and how and what laws, etc. allow this to happen. Both sides have put a lot of effort into this document."
Gutierrez appeared concerned that the intensive lobbying done by KC SmartPort could be a wasted effort if the final U.S. government approvals were not completed before Mexico elected a new president this week.
"The process for the document is for U.S. Customs to present the document to the acting Commissioner and officials with the Dept of Homeland Security," he wrote. "This will happen in March. The document will then be reviewed by the U.S. State Dept who has been consulted on the document all along so they are aware of it. State will make the recommendation on the diplomatic status of the Mexican officials and the documents fit with existing agreements, accords or treaties. Mexico will wait for this recommendation and then get the sign off of their Foreign Ministry (Secretary [Luis Ernesto] Derbez and Under Secretary [Geronimo] Gutierrez are well versed on the project and support it). The hope of both sides is that this will be completed before the Mexican presidential elections in July."
Gutierrez's March 10 e-mail ended by expressing a hope that discussion of the Mexican customs facility issue could be kept from the public, obviously concerned that press scrutiny might end up producing an adverse public reaction that could destroy the project. Gutierrez specifically proposes a low-profile strategy designed to keep the KC SmartPort and the Mexican customs facility out of public view.
"The one negative that was conveyed to us was the problems and pressure the media attention has created for both sides," he wrote. "They want us to stop promoting the facility to the press. We let them know that we have never issued a proactive press release on this and that the media attention started when Commissioner (Robert) Bonner was in KC and met with Rick Alm. The official direction moving forward is that we can respond to the media with a standard response that I will send out on Monday and refer all other inquiries to U.S. Customs. I will get the name from them to refer media calls."
Robert C. Bonner is the commissioner of CBP within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Rick Alm is a reporter for the Kansas City Star.

NASCO Alters Super-Corridor Message
by Jerome R. Corsi
Posted Jul 05, 2006
NASCO has altered the organization’s website homepage, apparently in direct response to the North American Union series we have published here, including discussion of NASCO and NAFTA Super-Highways.
NASCO appears to be reacting from recent publicity deriving from our argument that NASCO actively supports the goals of their members, including the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Kansas City SmartPort. TxDOT plans to start the first segment of the Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) as early as next year and the Kansas City SmartPort plans to house a Mexican customs operation within their Inland Port design. These are new infrastructure developments along the North American NAFTA Super-Corridor that NASCO as a trade organization was created to support.
A box has been inserted to the left of the NASCO map on the homepage, emphasizing the following:
This map is not a blueprint or plan of any kind. The Infrastructure depicted on this map is not drawn to scale. The highways shown EXIST today, and have been enlarged to highlight the NASCO Corridor focus area. The rail lines have been placed on the map to show NASCO’s multimodal approach.
The subtitle on the home page still reads “Secure Multi-Modal Transportation System,” evidently referring to the automobile, truck, and railroad nature of the “NASCO Super-Corridor” described in the top title on the page. By so adding to the homepage, NASCO appears engaged in a public relations marketing effort to defuse concerns that the organization supports any new NAFTA Super-Highway development that would include TTC features.
This modification to the homepage echoes an email the author received from Tiffany Melvin, NASCO’s Executive Director, on June 23, 2006, in which she wrote:
If the map were drawn to scale, it would be very difficult to see our focus area. The map is designed for marketing purposes, to highlight the highways we are focusing on. It is for our Coalition. That’s it.
An insert box has been placed on the homepage in the Atlantic Ocean area east of Massachusetts, reading “NASCO Myths Debunked.” We understand that our articles are among the “myths” intended to be “debunked.” The first line of text in the 4-page document linked to the “debunked box” reads: “There is no new, proposed ‘NAFTA Superhighway.” The next paragraph seems to say the NAFTA Super-Highway already exists -- it is evidently the current I-35:
As of late, there has been much media attention given to the “new, proposed NAFTA Superhighway.” NASCO and the cities, counties, states and provinces along our existing Interstate Highways 35/29/94 (the NASCO Corridor) have been referring to I-35 as the “NAFTA Superhighway” for many years, as I-35 already carries a substantial amount of international trade with Mexico, the United States and Canada. There are no plans to build a new NAFTA Superhighwary -- it exists today as I-35.
The “debunked text” even wants to de-emphasize the “Super” in the NASCO “Super Corridor” name. As Ms. Melvin expressed in a June 22, 2006 email to the author:
We have been using the name “SuperCorridor” since 1996. It does not mean huge, mega highway. We use “Super” in the sense of “more inclusive than a specialized category” (dictionary definition). Like Superman was not a huge, giant four football field wide man. He was MORE than a man. We are MORE than a highway coalition. We work to promote the use of multiple modes of transportation. We work on economic development along the corridor. We work on environmental issues. We work on networking inland ports. We work on developing business relationships for our members.
Perhaps NASCO would be well advised to review the Trans-Texas Corridor website of its member TxDOT agency. There the 4,000 page Environmental Impact Study (EIS) clearly describes the 1,200 foot new Super-Highway that TxDOT plans to build parallel to I-35. Page 4 of the EIS Executive Summary shows an artist’s rendition of the full build-out of the TTC-35 concept, an automobile-truck-railroad corridor with a utility space for energy pipelines and electronic circuits, along with tower electricity strung out on the perimeter. No artist’s conception of the TTC drawn by the TxDOT bears any resemblance to the current I-35 in Texas or anywhere else.
This TTC-35 description belies NASCO’s contention that the organization does not support the constructing any new Super-Highway infrastructure.
Perhaps NASCO wants to advance the argument that no state north of Texas will continue the TTC-35 project to connect through Oklahoma City with the Kansas City SmartPort, continuing north toward Duluth, or that TTC-35. As we have already shown, the investment bankers and international capitalists who are funding the development of TTC-35 can be expected to develop extend this NAFTA Super-Highway north, whether NASCO or the states north of Texas have the funds or current plans to do so.
From a public relations point of view, NASCO’s emphasis that the “NASCO Super-Corridor” only involves existing highways, truck routes, and rail lines is a strategy consistent with a desire to stay below the radar of public awareness, so as to avoid criticism that might otherwise stop or impede NASCO’s true mission -- to support the development of a NAFTA Super-Highway, either through enhancements to the existing north-south corridor along Interstate Highways 35/29/94 (the NASCO Corridor), or any Super-Highway enhancements its members initiate, including the TTC and the Mexican customs facility in the Kansas City SmartPort.
Today, there are some 50,000 miles of interstate highway in the U.S. and the TxDOT is proposing a full build-out of the TTC network that will build some 4,000 miles of TTC Super-Highways in Texas over the next 50 years. The TTC project at full development will involve the removal of as much as 584,000 acres of productive Texas farm and ranchland from the tax rolls permanently, while displacing upwards of 1 million people from their current residences. The 11 separate corridors planned will permanently cut across some 1,200 Texas roads, with cross-over unlikely for much of the nearly quarter-mile corridor planned to be built. Our research shows that dozens of small towns in Texas will be virtually obliterated in the bath of the advancing TTC behemoth. Reviewing statistics such as these, we can see why NASCO might prefer a low profile, preferring to stay below the radar of public scrutiny.
We also note that George Blackwood, NASCO President, attended the January 10-11 meeting in Louisville, Kentucky, held by the Council of the Americas and the North American Business Committee to conduct a “Public/Private Sector Dialogue” on the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America. A key finding of this meeting was that associations in the U.S. organized to promote particular corridors needed since the dawning of SPP in Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005, to coordinate their efforts in a less provincial style, more reflective of the North American regional orientation of SPP itself:
For instance, conversation at the Louisville forum raised the potential for commonalities and/or synergies between disparate transportation efforts in the US Midwest (the “SuperCorridor” initiative), the North American West (“CANAMEX Corridor”), and in the Southeast United States and Mexico (the “Gulf of Mexico Trade Corridor” initiative). Before SPP, there was no obvious mechanism through which to promote coordination of these discrete activities.
The Louisville SPP meeting also advised “the establishment of bilateral or trilateral commissions to facilitate border and cross-border infrastructure.”
While the NASCO “debunking text” is correct in asserting that NASCO is a trade organization, not a government organization, NASCO officers appear deeply involved in working with federal and state departments of transportation, local and state governments, and regulatory agencies in promoting the goal of developing a “Super Corridor” structure for “integrating” the U.S., Canada, and Mexico into a corridor-dimensioned transportation system to promote NAFTA trade. NASCO trade organization professionals evidently are much more comfortable working in professional SPP conferences and dealing with government bureaucrats in the closed confines of their offices than answering the questions that public citizens are openly discussing on the Internet.

Bush Administration Quietly Plans NAFTA Super Highway
by Jerome R. Corsi
Posted Jun 12, 2006
Quietly but systematically, the Bush Administration is advancing the plan to build a huge NAFTA Super Highway, four football-fields-wide, through the heart of the U.S. along Interstate 35, from the Mexican border at Laredo, Tex., to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minn.
The details of the NAFTA Super Highway are hidden in plan view. Still, Bush has not given speeches to bring the NAFTA Super Highway plans to the full attention of the American public. Missing in the move toward creating a North American Union is the robust public debate that preceded the decision to form the European Union. All this may be for calculated political reasons on the part of the Bush Administration.
A good reason Bush does not want to secure the border with Mexico may be that the administration is trying to create express lanes for Mexican trucks to bring containers with cheap Far East goods into the heart of the U.S., all without the involvement of any U.S. union workers on the docks or in the trucks.

THE NEW WORLD DISORDER
U.S.-Mexico merger opposition intensifies
Some see secret efforts to scrap dollar, end U.S. sovereignty, combine nations
Posted: July 9, 2006
Jim Gilchrist, co-founder of the Minutemen, welcomed Tancredo's efforts.
"It's time for the Bush administration to come clean," Gilchrist said. "If President Bush's agenda is to establish a new North American union government to supersede the sovereignty of the United States, then the president has an obligation to tell this to the American people directly. The American public has a right to know."
Geri Word, who heads the SPP office, told WND the work had not been disclosed because, "We did not want to get the contact people of the working groups distracted by calls from the public."
WND can find no specific congressional legislation authorizing the SPP working groups nor any congressional committees taking charge of oversight.
Many SPP working groups appear to be working toward achieving specific objectives as defined by a May 2005 Council on Foreign Relations task force report, which presented a blueprint for expanding the SPP agreement into a North American union that would merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico into a new governmental form.
Phyllis Schlafly, the woman best known for nearly single-handedly leading the opposition that killed the Equal Rights Amendment, sees a sinister and sweeping agenda behind the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.
"Is the real push behind guest-worker proposals the Bush goal to expand NAFTA into the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, which he signed at Waco, Texas, last year and reaffirmed at Cancun, Mexico, this year?" she asks. "Bush is a globalist at heart and wants to carry out his father's oft-repeated ambition of a 'new world order.'"
She accuses the president and others behind the effort of wanting to obliterate U.S. borders in an effort to increase the Mexican population transfer and lower wages for the benefit of U.S. corporate interests.
"Bush meant what he said, at Waco, Texas, in March 2005, when he announced his plan to convert the United States into a 'Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America' by erasing our borders with Canada and Mexico," she said. "Bush's guest-worker proposal would turn the United States into a boardinghouse for the world's poor, enable employers to import an unlimited number of 'willing workers' at foreign wage levels, and wipe out what's left of the U.S. middle class. Bush lives in a house well protected by a fence and security guards and he associates with rich people who live in gated communities. Yet, for five years, he has refused to protect the property and children of ordinary Arizona citizens from trespassers and criminals."
That's unusually harsh criticism of a Republican president from one of Ronald Reagan's most loyal supporters.
At least one of the nation's daily newspapers has officially weighed in in opposition to the mysterious plans for closer cooperation in security, commerce and immigration between the three North American nations.
Recently, the Pittsburgh Tribune Review questioned the unchallenged momentum toward merger.
"Will Americans trade their dead presidents for Ameros?" the newspaper asked in an editorial last month.
The paper chided efforts at replacing the U.S. and Canadian dollars and Mexican peso with "the amero" – a knockoff of the euro – along with the building of "a looming NAFTA-like superstate." Citing the meeting between the three national leaders at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, in March 2005, the editorial warned: "Canadians, Mexicans and Americans who value the sovereignty of their respective countries should be concerned."
The Tribune Review editorial saw synergy between the plans of the national leaders and the ambitious agenda of the Council on Foreign Relations – seen by many as a kind of secretive, shadow government of the elite. The CFR issued a bold report in the spring of 2005, shortly after the joint announcements in Waco by Bush and his counterparts.
"The Council on Foreign Relations published a report in May -- "Building a North American Community" -- calling for, among other things, redefining the borders of the three nations, creating a super-regional governance board and the North American Paramilitary Group to ensure that Congress does not interfere with whatever the trilateral union feels like doing," said the paper. "Must the Bush administration happily sacrifice every shred of American sovereignty for the greater good of the New World Order?"
In fact, the CFR report is a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community" with a common "outer security perimeter."
Some see it as the blueprint for merger of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. It calls for "a common economic space ... for all people in the region, a space in which trade, capital and people flow freely."
The CFR's strategy calls specifically for "a more open border for the movement of goods and people." It calls for laying "the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America." It calls for efforts to "harmonize visa and asylum regulations." It calls for efforts to "harmonize entry screening."
In "Building a North American Community," the report states that Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin "committed their governments" to this goal March 23, 2005, at that meeting in Waco, Texas.
Alan Burkhart, who describes himself as a free-lance political writer, cross-country trucker "and proud citizen of one of the reddest of the Red States – Mississippi," is another critic seething over these plans that seem to have a life of their own – with little or no real public debate.
"As time passes, American corporations will find it unnecessary to move their facilities out of the country," writes Burkhart. "Our already stagnant wages will be just as low as those of Mexico. The cultures of three great nations will be diluted. Our currency will be replaced with the 'Amero.' And, we’ll be one giant step closer to the U.N.’s perverse dream of a one-world government."
The Amero is not a new concept. It was first proposed by the Fraser Institute, a Canadian think tank, in a monograph titled "The Case for the Amero" in 1999.
Last month, the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America made one of its most visible and public moves since it was first announced last year. In Washington, on June 15, U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, Mexican Economy Minister Sergio Garcia de Alba and Canadian Minister of Industry Maxime Bernier joined North American business leaders to launch the North American Competitiveness Council. It was a major development that showed the March 2005 meeting was no fluke – and that the plans announced by the three national leaders then were continuing to take shape. The NACC was first announced by Bush, Harper and Fox.
Made up of 10 high-level business leaders from each country, the NACC will meet annually with senior North American government officials "to provide recommendations and help set priorities for promoting regional competitiveness in the global economy."
Officially, the council has the mandate to advise the governments on improving trade in key sectors such as automobiles, transportation, manufacturing and services. The three countries do more than $800 billion in trilateral trade.
Gutierrez said the Bush administration is determined to develop a "border pass" on schedule despite worries about its implementation. The new land pass is to be in effect for Canadians, Americans and Mexicans by Jan. 1, 2008.
The U.S. executives involved in the NACC include: United Parcel Service Inc. Chairman Michael Eskew; Frederick Smith, chairman of FedEx Corp.; Lou Schorsh, chief executive of Mittal Steel USA; Joseph Gilmour, president of New York Life Insurance Co.; William Clay Ford, chairman of Ford Motor Co.; Rick Wagoner, chairman of General Motors Corp.; Raymond Gilmartin, CEO of Merck & Co. Inc.; David O'Reilly, chief executive of Chevron Corp.; Jeffrey Immelt, chairman of General Electric Co.; Lee Scott, president of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.; Robert Stevens, chairman of Lockheed Martin Corp.; Michael Haverty, chairman of Kansas City Southern; Douglas Conant, president of Campbell's Soup Co. and James Kilt, vice-chairman of Gillette Inc.
The concerns about the direction such powerful men could lead Americans without their knowledge is only heightened when interlocking networks are discovered. For instance, one of the components envisioned for this future "North American Union" is a superhighway running from Mexico, through the U.S. and into Canada. It is being promoted by the North American SuperCorridor Coalition, or NASCO, a non-profit group "dedicated to developing the world’s first international, integrated and secure, multi-modal transportation system along the International Mid-Continent Trade and Transportation Corridor to improve both the trade competitiveness and quality of life in North America."
The president of NASCO is George Blackwood, who earlier launched the North American International Trade Corridor Partnership. In fact, NAITCP later morphed into NASCO. A NAIPC summit meeting in 2004, attended by senior Mexican government officials, heard from Robert Pastor, an American University professor who wrote "Toward a North American Community," a book promoting the development of a North American union as a regional government and the adoption of the amero as a common monetary currency to replace the dollar and the peso.
Pastor also was vice chairman of the May 2005 Council on Foreign Relations task force entitled "Building a North American Community" that presents itself as a blueprint for using bureaucratic action within the executive branches of Mexico, the U.S. and Canada to transform the current trilateral Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America into a North American union regional government.

The Morphosis and the sabotage of Canada by our own government
by Connie Fogal
written in three parts: print entire article (PDF)
The North American continent is being transformed from three sovereign nations Canada, USA, Mexico) into one regional corporate power base, the North American Union. Unlike the creation of the European Union, there is no public political/ academic discourse on the merits, or pros and cons of a North American Union building up to a vote within each nation as to the wish of the people to join such a union. Instead the union is being created by stealth, is already well on its way to fruition, and is being imposed on us by our own elected representatives and government with no opposition.
The driving force is corporate. The Chief Executive Officers of the most powerful corporations operating in the three countries want this union and have been working for some time devising their strategies and goals. Their facilitators are first, unelected officials and bureaucrats who move easily between corporations and government; second, former elected officials like John Manley , former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada; third, the heads of the three nations, Martin, Bush, and Fox; and finally, the governments and the rest of the elected members who apparently just rubber stamp what is put in front of them by the unelected officials- few questions, if any asked.
The ultimate enforcement mechanism for the North American Union is a police state.
The tools for the police state are "anti-terrorist" laws which, in themselves, are a ruse to strip the citizens of civil liberties in order to prevent dissent against the police state.
The Orwellian justification is "security", "safety".

THE NEW WORLD DISORDER
CFR's solution to illegal immigration
Grandiose Council on Foreign Relations' plan barely mentions alien invasion of U.S.
Editor's note: With scarcely a mention of the horrendous illegal immigration problem plaguing America, the Council on Foreign Relations – which some call America's "shadow government" – has laid out a comprehensive plan to essentially merge the U.S., Mexico and Canada into one entity with an outer security perimeter. Following are selected excerpts of the 59-page document, titled "Building a North American Community."
Excerpts:
Establish a common security perimeter by 2010. The governments of Canada, Mexico, and the United States should articulate as their long-term goal a common security perimeter for North America. In particular, the three governments should strive toward a situation in which a terrorist trying to penetrate our borders will have an equally hard time doing so, no matter which country he elects to enter first. We believe that these measures should be extended to include a commitment to common approaches toward international negotiations on the global movement of people, cargo, and vessels. Like free trade a decade ago, a common security perimeter for North America is an ambitious but achievable goal that will require specific policy, statutory, and procedural changes in all three nations.
Develop a North American Border Pass. The three countries should develop a secure North American Border Pass with biometric identifiers. This document would allow its bearers expedited passage through customs, immigration, and airport security throughout the region. The program would be modeled on the U.S.-Canadian "NEXUS" and the U.S.-Mexican "SENTRI" programs, which provide "smart cards" to allow swifter passage to those who pose no risk. Only those who voluntarily seek, receive, and pay the costs for a security clearance would obtain a Border Pass. The pass would be accepted at all border points within North America as a complement to, but not a replacement for, national identity documents or passports.
While polls show a majority of Americans favor a physical wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, the CFR report is advocating exactly the opposite:
Lay the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America. 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.
Establish a permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution. The current NAFTA dispute-resolution process is founded on ad hoc panels that are not capable of building institutional memory or establishing precedent, may be subject to conflicts of interest, and are appointed by authorities who may have an incentive to delay a given proceeding. As demonstrated by the efficiency of the World Trade Organization (WTO) appeal process, a permanent tribunal would likely encourage faster, more consistent, and more predictable resolution of disputes. In addition, there is a need to review the workings of NAFTA’s dispute-settlement mechanism to make it more efficient, transparent, and effective.
While America is being transformed demographically, and in particular the U.S. Southwest targeted for takeover by militant illegal immigrant groups, the CFR recommends "increased labor mobility" between Mexico and the U.S.
Increase Labor Mobility within North America
People are North America’s greatest asset. Goods and services cross borders easily; ensuring the legal transit of North American workers has been more difficult. Experience with the NAFTA visa system suggests that its procedures need to be simplified, and such visas should be made available to a wider range of occupations and to additional categories of individuals such as students, professors, bona fide frequent visitors, and retirees.
To make the most of the impressive pool of skill and talent within North America, the three countries should look beyond the NAFTA visa system. The large volume of undocumented migrants from Mexico within the United States is an urgent matter for those two countries to address. A long-term goal should be to create a "North American Preference" – new rules that would make it much easier for employees to move and for employers to recruit across national boundaries within the continent. This would enhance North American competitiveness, increase productivity, contribute to Mexico’s development, and address one of the main outstanding issues on the Mexican-U.S. bilateral agenda.
Canada and the United States should consider eliminating restrictions on labor mobility altogether and work toward solutions that, in the long run, could enable the extension of full labor mobility to Mexico as well. …
There is even a plan to open up Social Security to Mexicans:
Implement the Social Security Totalization Agreement negotiated between the United States and Mexico. This agreement would recognize payroll contributions to each other’s systems, thus preventing double taxation. …

THE NEW WORLD DISORDER
U.S.-Mexico merger opposition intensifies
Some see secret efforts to scrap dollar, end U.S. sovereignty, combine nations
Posted: July 9, 2006
WASHINGTON – Are secret meetings being held between the corporate and political elites of the U.S., Mexico and Canada to push North America into a European Union-style merger?
Is President Bush's reluctance to control the border and enforce laws requiring deportation of foreigners who enter the country illegally part of a master plan to all but eliminate borders between the U.S., Canada and Mexico?
Does the agenda of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America include a common currency that would scrap the dollar in favor of what some are calling the "amero"?
It may be the biggest story of the 21st century, but few press outlets are telling it. In fact, until very recently, few in the U.S. were aware of the plans and even fewer denouncing what appears to be the implementation of an effort some have characterized as "NAFTA on steroids."
But opposition is mounting.
CNN's Lou Dobbs
Perhaps the most blistering criticism has come from Lou Dobbs of CNN – a frequent critic of Bush's immigration policies.
"A regional prosperity and security program?" he asked rhetorically in a recent cablecast. "This is absolute ignorance. And the fact that we are -- we reported this, we should point out, when it was signed. But, as we watch this thing progress, these working groups are continuing. They're intensifying. What in the world are these people thinking about? You know, I was asked the other day about whether or not I really thought the American people had the stomach to stand up and stop this nonsense, this direction from a group of elites, an absolute contravention of our law, of our Constitution, every national value. And I hope, I pray that I'm right when I said yes. But this is -- I mean, this is beyond belief."
What has Dobbs and a few other vocal critics bugged began in earnest March 31, 2005, when the elected leaders of the U.S., Mexico and Canada agreed to advance the agenda of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.
No one seems quite certain what that agenda is because of the vagueness of the official declarations. But among the things the leaders of the three countries agreed to work toward were borders that would allow for easier and faster moving of goods and people between the countries.
Coming as the announcement did in the midst of a raging national debate in the U.S. over borders seen as far to open already, more than a few jaws dropped.
Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo.
Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. and the chairman of the House Immigration Reform Caucus as well as author of the new book, "In Mortal Danger," may be the only elected official to challenge openly the plans for the new superstate.
Responding to a WorldNetDaily report, Tancredo is demanding the Bush administration fully disclose the activities of the government office implementing the trilateral agreement that has no authorization from Congress.
Tancredo wants to know the membership of the Security and Prosperity Partnership groups along with their various trilateral memoranda of understanding and other agreements reached with counterparts in Mexico and Canada.
Jim Gilchrist, co-founder of the Minutemen, welcomed Tancredo's efforts.
"It's time for the Bush administration to come clean," Gilchrist said. "If President Bush's agenda is to establish a new North American union government to supersede the sovereignty of the United States, then the president has an obligation to tell this to the American people directly. The American public has a right to know."
Geri Word, who heads the SPP office, told WND the work had not been disclosed because, "We did not want to get the contact people of the working groups distracted by calls from the public."
WND can find no specific congressional legislation authorizing the SPP working groups nor any congressional committees taking charge of oversight.
Many SPP working groups appear to be working toward achieving specific objectives as defined by a May 2005 Council on Foreign Relations task force report, which presented a blueprint for expanding the SPP agreement into a North American union that would merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico into a new governmental form.
Phyllis Schlafly, the woman best known for nearly single-handedly leading the opposition that killed the Equal Rights Amendment, sees a sinister and sweeping agenda behind the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.
"Is the real push behind guest-worker proposals the Bush goal to expand NAFTA into the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, which he signed at Waco, Texas, last year and reaffirmed at Cancun, Mexico, this year?" she asks. "Bush is a globalist at heart and wants to carry out his father's oft-repeated ambition of a 'new world order.'"
She accuses the president and others behind the effort of wanting to obliterate U.S. borders in an effort to increase the Mexican population transfer and lower wages for the benefit of U.S. corporate interests.
"Bush meant what he said, at Waco, Texas, in March 2005, when he announced his plan to convert the United States into a 'Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America' by erasing our borders with Canada and Mexico," she said. "Bush's guest-worker proposal would turn the United States into a boardinghouse for the world's poor, enable employers to import an unlimited number of 'willing workers' at foreign wage levels, and wipe out what's left of the U.S. middle class. Bush lives in a house well protected by a fence and security guards and he associates with rich people who live in gated communities. Yet, for five years, he has refused to protect the property and children of ordinary Arizona citizens from trespassers and criminals."
That's unusually harsh criticism of a Republican president from one of Ronald Reagan's most loyal supporters.
At least one of the nation's daily newspapers has officially weighed in in opposition to the mysterious plans for closer cooperation in security, commerce and immigration between the three North American nations.
Recently, the Pittsburgh Tribune Review questioned the unchallenged momentum toward merger.
"Will Americans trade their dead presidents for Ameros?" the newspaper asked in an editorial last month.
The paper chided efforts at replacing the U.S. and Canadian dollars and Mexican peso with "the amero" – a knockoff of the euro – along with the building of "a looming NAFTA-like superstate." Citing the meeting between the three national leaders at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, in March 2005, the editorial warned: "Canadians, Mexicans and Americans who value the sovereignty of their respective countries should be concerned."
The Tribune Review editorial saw synergy between the plans of the national leaders and the ambitious agenda of the Council on Foreign Relations – seen by many as a kind of secretive, shadow government of the elite. The CFR issued a bold report in the spring of 2005, shortly after the joint announcements in Waco by Bush and his counterparts.
"The Council on Foreign Relations published a report in May -- "Building a North American Community" -- calling for, among other things, redefining the borders of the three nations, creating a super-regional governance board and the North American Paramilitary Group to ensure that Congress does not interfere with whatever the trilateral union feels like doing," said the paper. "Must the Bush administration happily sacrifice every shred of American sovereignty for the greater good of the New World Order?"
In fact, the CFR report is a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community" with a common "outer security perimeter."

Regarding North America's SuperCorridor Coalition (NASCO),
there are 85 major highways in our country, and 83 of our highways have been openly handed over to a multinational organization,
the Security and Prosperity Partnership, SPP, http://spp.gov
who is taking over our highways.
1/3 of NASCO will be manned by Mexicans, 1/3 will be manned by U.S., 1/3 by Canadians. 1 leg of it in Mexico will be Canadian-run, 1 leg will be U.S.-run, and 1 leg will be Mexican-run, in Mexico. Same thing in U.S. Same thing in Canada. Delegates from each country will be in each group. This is all official.
To finish the roads in Mexico and Canada, the U.S. will pay most of the money for them, like we always do for global projects, like the IMF and World Bank Projects, and this is not just in the SPP agreement. Bush is trying to pass a retroactive law right now regarding all of this.
Chertoff is on the SPP Board. There's 3 people on board from U.S., 3 from Canada, and 3 from Mexico. Politicians have been bought off.
There are 8,000 miles of roads. Model state for NASCO is TX, (where it's going gang-busters, like nowhere else). NASCO traverses 11 states including Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois.
Inland port facilities will be roughly every 75 miles with huge exit lanes kind of like weigh stations for trucks which will be gigantic-100 times the size of a rest area, with have McDonald's and stores. Half of it will be huge lanes with Customs Police - North American Union SPP Police. The U.S. will run the port facility where the Chinese goods will come in in SW Mexico.
North American Union checkpoints will be north of Austin, TX, just up past Waco, TX, another just north of Dallas, TX, another one by Oklahoma border, one up by Oklahoma City, OK, and another really BIG one in Kansas City, MO.
The North American Union / NASCO, FTAA, NAFTA etc:
This is to use illegal aliens, (truckers, etc.), to haul cheap Chinese and Mexican slave-labor-made goods into the North American Union, further taking away our jobs, and at the same time bringing the U.S. and Canada down to the level of Mexico, while bringing up Mexico's economy, so all 3 countries will be on the same level, economically. We already have the United Nations, NATO, the European Union. The Bible fortells that we will have a one world government with a one world religion, ruled by the Antichrist.

NASCO Alters Super-Corridor Message
NASCO has altered the organization’s website homepage, apparently in direct response to the North American Union series we have published here, including discussion of NASCO and NAFTA Super-Highways.
NASCO appears to be reacting from recent publicity deriving from our argument that NASCO actively supports the goals of their members, including the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Kansas City SmartPort. TxDOT plans to start the first segment of the Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) as early as next year and the Kansas City SmartPort plans to house a Mexican customs operation within their Inland Port design. These are new infrastructure developments along the North American NAFTA Super-Corridor that NASCO as a trade organization was created to support.

Along the Corridor - October, 2005
U.S.-Mexico officials establish new international trade route at KellyUSA
October 24, 2005
San Antonio Business Journal
More than 10 years after the signing of NAFTA in San Antonio, U.S. and
Mexico officials have inked a new pact on Monday designed to increase
the flow of international trade between Mexico and KellyUSA in San Antonio.
Officials with Mexico's Secretary of Communications and Transportation
office and with the U.S. Department of Transportation joined more than
30 Mexican businesses and KellyUSA representatives to commemorate
the creation of the new trade route.
The signing ceremony took place at the Plaza San Antonio Hotel, the same
hotel where U.S. and Mexico officials signed NAFTA in 1995.
The letter of intent allows for the movement of air, rail and ground cargo,
principally from Asia and South America, through Mexico into the
United States via KellyUSA -- the industrial park created following the
closure of Kelly Air Force Base in 2001.
Within 30 days of signing the document, officials from both countries will
name an individual to begin facilitating all the necessary arrangements to
ship goods between Mexico and the new Port of San Antonio at KellyUSA.
Previously, all cargo traffic had to stop along the border for processing.
"What we are saying today with this agreement is that we are joining forces
with Mexico to develop multimodal corridors that will be mutually beneficial
to each partner," Greater Kelly Development Authority CEO Bruce Miller says.
"We're establishing synergies, origin and destination systems, facilitating
access to international markets and creating new pathways for producers,
importers and exporters to access the global market -- all of which means
economic gains for everyone involved," he adds.
U.S. Assistant Secretary of Transportation Aaron Dychter says Texas' border
already processes more than 70 percent of the commercial products being
shipped between the Mexico and the United States.
Along the Corridor - September, 2005
Kansas City SmartPort Receives Federal Funding
The Federal Highway Bill, called SAFETEA-LU was approved by the Senate
and Congress on July 29, 2005. The total package for transportation
improvements amounted to $286.5 billion. This five year funding will be used
for highways, bridges, and mass transit and safety projects in the United States.
Kansas City SmartPort received $4 million which will be used to create
Intelligent Transportation Systems and highway corridor projects.
In addition, Senator Talent secured a U.S. Department of Commerce
earmark for Kansas City SmartPort in the amount of $500,000 to further
develop Kansas City as an inland port capable of processing a greater
volume of international trade. In order to achieve this goal SmartPort will
partner with Kansas City Area organizations to promote increased exports
to Mexico and Central America. Other activities will include marketing the
new Mexican Customs Facility and developing strategic alliances with
several southern U.S. ports to ensure the efficient flow of products to and
from Mexico and Central America.
Kansas City SmartPort ITS Projects Moving Forward
SmartPort and SAIC / TransCore have finished the user requirement
document and the systems architecture plan for an intelligent
transportation system for the greater KC area. The ITS system under
consideration will have a central data and control center in the KC
market and ITS technology employed along trade and transportation
corridors bringing freight to and from the KC market. SAIC / TransCore
will focus on the LA/Long Beach - Pacific Northwest corridor to Kansas City
in partnership with the BNSF Railroad.
SmartPort recently engaged B.V. Solutions Group to begin ITS testing on
the KC / Mexico corridor. This project will tie into the LC-KC Transportation
corridor for freight coming to the U.S. from Asia and the Mexican Customs
facility in KC for Midwest exports to Mexico. B.V.S.G. will partner with
Kansas City Southern and several trucking companies on this corridor.
Kansas City - North America Works - Friday October 13-14, 2005!
Join the excitement as leading business specialists from across
North America relay success stories regarding North American trade.
Business leaders, economic development and transportation
specialists, as well as political personalities in partner cities/states
throughout Mexico, Canada and the U.S. will showcase NAFTA's
triumphs and imminent opportunities. Contact Stephan Bras,

BTS Releases North American Surface
Trade Numbers for
February:
February Surface Trade with Canada and Mexico
Rose 11.3 Percent from February 2004
The United States traded $53.6 billion in goods using surface transportation
in February 2005 with its North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
partners Canada and Mexico, 11.3 percent more than February 2004, the
Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) of the U.S. Department of
Transportation reported.
Surface transportation consists largely of freight movements by truck, rail
and pipeline. About 90 percent of U.S. trade by value with Canada and
Mexico moves on land.
BTS, a part of the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA),
reported that total surface transportation trade rose 2.4 percent in February
from January. Month-to-month changes can be affected by seasonal
variations and other factors.
Total surface transportation trade value in February was up 28.5 percent
compared to February 2002 and 80.3 percent compared to February 1995,
a period of ten years. Exports in February were up 60.0 percent compared to
February 1995, while imports were up 99.0 percent.
U.S. - Canada surface transportation trade totaled $35.4 billion in February,
up 12.7 percent compared to February 2004. Carrying the largest amount by
value, exports by truck increased 11.0 percent from February 2004, while
imports by truck rose 12.4 percent. Michigan led all states in surface trade with
Canada in February with $6.2 billion.
U.S. - Mexico surface transportation trade totaled $18.2 billion in February,
up 8.6 percent compared to February 2004. Carrying the largest amount by
value, imports by truck increased 7.7 percent compared to February 2004,
while exports by truck rose 8.3 percent. Texas led all states in surface trade
with Mexico in February with $5.9 billion.
The Transborder Surface Freight Dataset is a special extract of the official U.S.
foreign trade statistics. The data are tabulated for BTS monthly by the U.S.
Census Bureau's Foreign Trade Division. February transborder numbers
include data received by BTS as of April 15, 2005.
The press release and summary tables can be found at http://www.bts.gov
More information on transborder freight data and data from previous months
are posted on the BTS website at http://www.bts.gov/transborder/
BTS will release March transborder numbers on May 27.
Manitoba - During Manitoba's recent Trade Mission to Texas,
Manitoba's Premier, Honourable Gary Doer, invited NASCO to hold its
annual 2006 North American Convergence Summit in Winnipeg. As a
long-time friend of Manitoba, NASCO is pleased to accept this invitation.
The summit will be held May 31-June 2, 2006. Manitoba is pleased to invite
all NASCO members and friends to the 2006 Summit, and is looking forward
to hosting the event and extending its infamous friendly hospitality to all
Summit participants.
Manitoba is the northern terminus of NASCO's International Trade Corridor,
and the Province of Manitoba and the City of Winnipeg have been
important NASCO members since 1997. Both the Province and City
work closely with its local industry, the Winnipeg and Manitoba
Chambers of Commerce, Manitoba Trade and Investment Corporation,
economic development agencies such as Destination Winnipeg, and the
Federal Government under the Manitoba Corridor Partners Group in order
to further Corridor development initiatives.
Trans Texas Corridor 35 Update - BILL FILED TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS
IN TRANS TEXAS CORRIDOR LEGISLATION
Rep. Lois Kolkhorst (R-Brehnam) and Rep. Dennis Bonnen (R-Angleton) have
filed HB1273, which addresses some frequent criticisms of the Trans Texas
Corridor package passed last session.
The bill limits the proposed Trans Texas Corridor to 800 feet from 1200 feet,
eliminates the franchising of businesses along the corridor by road
contractors and requires access on, off, and across every state highway and
local FM road. The bill also eliminates the "non-competition" clause in the
TTC, which currently allows the TTC operators the ability to stop other public
road projects in an area if they felt it would lower profitability of their
investment. Lastly, the bill requires that any toll fee increase or collection
fee increase must meet approval of the Transportation Commission and
not be left to the private company exclusively. The intent is to allow for
more transparency, accountability and less of a footprint on the land.
Also to ensure that rural areas can access the TTC.

Federal Legislation
Special Projects:
North American Facilitation of Transportation, Trade, Reduced Congestion
& Security (NAFTRACS) is a three phase pilot project designed to focus on
business processes and information as freight is transported from buyers to
sellers. The project is intended to create a partnership between businesses
and local, state, and federal governments, while fostering cooperation
amongst the same entities. The pilot project will use actual freight
shipments moving through the I-35/29/80/94 trade corridor. This project will
engage voluntary industry participants who will allow actual freight shipments
to be tracked and monitored for location and condition of freight. Various
federal and state DOT participants will have access to the appropriate and
necessary information as necessitated by the pilot project concept of
operations rules and methodology. Business processes, systems architecture
and data flow will comply with World Customs Organization’s (WCO)
“Framework of Standards” to further facilitate North American trade and
transport.
Some of the important goals of NAFTRACS are:
1. Demonstrate the benefits of enhanced information sharing
and exchange on security in the trade process, while facilitating
the process of trade transactions and their transportation.
2. Demonstrate and evaluate true integration of tracking device
technologies, and how they perform with respect to security and
facilitating cargo movement.
The results of the pilot project will exhibit improvement in freight mobility,
velocity, and efficiency while reducing congestion and cost of trade. Some
of the participants in the pilot project will be trucking companies, 3PL’s,
brokers/freight forwarders, railroad operators, emergency responders and
local, state and federal governments.
An operational system derived from this pilot version of the proof-of-concept
information architecture will reduce the cost and congestion and improve the
efficiency, mobility and velocity of freight and security of the North American
trade, thus enabling U.S., Canadian and Mexican agencies to accomplish
their vital border security and trade facilitation missions - providing for the
Security and Prosperity of North America.
Support for Multi-state International Corridor Development Program
North America's SuperCorridor Coalition, Inc. supports the
Multi-state International Corridor Development Program in S. 1072
NASCO supports Sec. 1825, the Multi-state International Corridor Development
Program, new language initiated by NASCO, authorized in 2004’s Senate
passed version of S. 1072, the “Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient
Transportation Equity Act of 2004” and asks the House to consider supporting
this language in their bill or to accept the language in conference.
This program would develop international trade corridors to facilitate the
movement of freight from international ports of entry and inland ports
through and to the interior of the United States. NASCO supports the
Senate language regarding selection criteria for corridors including:
Must have Significant levels or increases in truck and traffic volume
relating to international freight movement [NASCO truck traffic has
increased 42.6 percent from 1996 to 2001 ]
Connection to at least 1 International Terminus or inland port
[NASCO has an international terminus in Laredo/Nuevo Laredo;
Manitoba; and Windsor, Ontario and serves 3 inland ports including
Detroit; Laredo and Pembina, N.D.]
Corridor must traverse at least three states;[NASCO traverses 11 states
including Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota,
North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois ] and
Identified by Section 115 (c) of the Intermodal Transportation
Efficiency Act of 1991 (Public Law 102-240; 105 Stat. 2032)
[NASCO is High Priority Corridor #23]
Funding
NASCO supports the Senate proposed program because it would
provide a solution to the over subscribed “Cor Bor” program by
creating a separate, dedicated program for a small number of
true international trade corridors that meet the proposed criteria.
It would provide the opportunity for significant and targeted infrastructure
improvements along these most important trade corridors resulting in
tremendous economic benefits for communities along these corridors and
for the nation as a whole.
However, the Senate passed language did not authorize funding for this
program and without it this program cannot realize its potential.
Therefore, NASCO respectfully requests that the provision be granted
sufficient funding. In a 1996 study done for NASCO, it was estimated that
the corridor needed $2 billion per year in infrastructure improvements over
an 18-year period. NASCO supports as high a funding level as possible for
the Multi-state International Corridor Development Program to operate as
intended.

Kansas City customs port considered Mexican soil?
WND investigation finds new evidence U.S. facility to be on foreign territory
Posted: July 5, 2006
1:00 a.m. Eastern
By Jerome R. Corsi
© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com
an e-mail written June 21, 2004, by Chris Gutierrez, the president of the KC SmartPort, stated that the Mexican customs office space "would need to be designated as Mexican sovereign territory and meet certain requirements."
The documents make clear that Mexico demanded Kansas City pay all costs.
To date, the Kansas City Council has voted a $2.5 million loan to KC SmartPort to build the Mexican customs facility in the West Bottoms near Kemper Arena on city-owned land east of Liberty Street and mostly south of Interstate 670.

Combined with KCS' primary U.S. holdings, the Kansas City Southern Railway Company (KCSR) serving the southeastern and south central parts of the U.S., and the Texas Mexican Railway Company (Tex Mex) the bridge carrier between KCSR and TFM, today's KCS is strongly positioned to provide competitive and seamless rail transportation between the U.S. and Mexico. In addition to competitive access to major North American markets with this strategically important trade corridor, shippers will benefit from KCS' greater opportunities for investment in cross-border transportation infrastructure, implementation of advanced cargo tracing and tracking systems and improved security."

The first phase of this project is known as the Trans-Texas Corridor http://www.keeptexasmoving.org/
This is a very controversial project, as some assume it will be used to transport tanks to Mexico and the South American continent, to engage Hugo Chavez. The immediate purpose is to take advantage of Mexico’s market of cheap labor.

Here are the relevant parts of the CNN transcript of Lou Dobb's Tonight, which
Aired June 21, 2006 - 18:00 ET.
Also tonight, the Bush administration is pushing ahead with a plan to create a North American union with Canada and Mexico. You haven't heard about that? Well, that's because Congress hasn't been consulted, nor the American people. We will have that special report.
And we will go live to a town in Pennsylvania that's been overrun with illegal aliens. The mayor of that town says these illegal aliens are literally destroying his community, and he and city government are doing something about it. He's our guest here tonight.
Stay with us.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
DOBBS: Washington's failure to seriously address this nation's illegal immigration crisis is now a worsening public safety crisis.
Tonight, immigration officials are simply unable to explain how an illegal alien could have been arrested more than a dozen times on criminal charges and was never once deported -- all of this as our nation's very sovereignty is under assault from our growing relationship with the Mexican government.
We have two reports tonight, Lisa Sylvester from Washington on this nation's inability to protect American citizens from illegal alien criminals. And Bill Tucker reports on a new North American partnership that gives Mexico further control over this nation's dwindling sovereignty, its economy, and our very security.
We begin with Lisa Sylvester -- Lisa.
LISA SYLVESTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, a Nashville couple was killed two weeks ago in a tragic accident that many say should have been prevented.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
SYLVESTER (voice-over): Nashville residents Donna and Sean Wilson were headed to the grocery store. They never made it. Their silver Buick was hit head on.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: All of a sudden, I heard just real screeching, you know, tires and everything. And I heard, bam, and then another bam, and then another bam.
SYLVESTER: The driver of the other vehicle has been identified as Gustavo Garcia Rayes. Police found open cans of beer in his suburban, the tags on the vehicle expired.
Rayes has a lengthy rap sheet, four DUIs, five driving on a revoked license, two counts of resisting arrest, two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, more than 14 offenses in total. Rayes should not have been driving. In fact, he should not have even been in the country. Nashville authorities say he's an illegal alien. Despite repeated run-ins with police, he was never deported.
The Nashville Police Department says federal officials were notified.
DON AARON, NASHVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT: In Nashville, when a person from another country, another nationality, is booked into our system, an automated process alerts federal authorities in Vermont at a federal clearinghouse. What action is taken from there, I don't know. SYLVESTER: In a statement, Immigration and Customs Enforcement acknowledged receiving four separate inquiries over a two-year period for Gustavo Rayes or Gustavo Garcia. At the time of each of these inquiries, ICE was not aware that these appeared to relate to a single individual.
Nothing was done. The Center for Immigration Studies says this is not an isolated incident.
STEVE CAMAROTA, CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES: We have numerous cases of people committing serious crimes, not being deported, and then going on to committing additional crimes.
SYLVESTER: Federal immigration officials have placed a detainer on Rayes, a little too late for Sean and Donna Wilson.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
SYLVESTER: Rayes has been charged with vehicular manslaughter and is being held without bond.
He's represented by the public defender's office. And they declined to comment on the ongoing case -- Lou.
DOBBS: Lisa, thank you very much -- Lisa Sylvester.
The Bush administration's open-borders policy and its decision to ignore the enforcement of this country's immigration laws is part of a broader agenda. President Bush signed a formal agreement that will end the United States as we know it, and he took the step without approval from either the U.S. Congress or the people of the United States.
Bill Tucker reports.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
BILL TUCKER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America sounds benign, hardly like a policy that critics call NAFTA on steroids. It's a deal that few have even heard of.
REP. MARCY KAPTUR (D), OHIO: It's being done, again, by very few people at the very top, on behalf of the investment class. But the working class of people, political officials across our country from communities, from cities and so forth, they don't know anything about this.
TUCKER: Yet, it was agreed to by Mexico's President Fox, Canada's Prime Minister Martin, and President Bush in 2005.
The administration officials counter their critics by saying everything about SPP is on the White House Web site. And they say the partnership is not a treaty, but more of an outline of priorities between the United States, Mexico and Canada. Still, some wonder why there haven't been public discussions about the goals being pursued. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This SPP includes, for instance, a committee that is sitting down to harmonize our meat inspection and food safety. So, how far away from a trade agreement can your dining room table and what you feed your kids be?
TUCKER: Other parts of the agreement mention border security as an issue, which include all of North America. In fact, the name of the agreement is not Security and Prosperity of the United States, but of North America.
PETER MORICI, PROFESSOR OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS, UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND: When we elect officials, we expect them to act on our behalf. When we get involved in cooperative frameworks with other countries for joint regulation of fisheries or rail transportation or the skies, we're basically sharing our sovereignty with that government and outsourcing some of what we give our elected officials.
TUCKER: As disturbing as some find SPP, there is legislation in the House introduced by Florida's Katherine Harris that closely resembles the goals of the partnership.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
TUCKER: Included in that bill is a section which calls for the securing of Mexico's southern border by the United States and Canada.
Lou, that's not the border with the United States. That's the border they share with Belize and Guatemala.
DOBBS: The idea that the White House would respond that this is on their Web site, this involves intricate workings amongst the Commerce Department of this country and Canada and Mexico's, of course.
A regional prosperity and security program? This is absolute ignorance. And the fact that we are -- we reported this, we should point out, when it was signed. But, as we watch this thing progress, these working groups are continuing. They're intensifying. What in the world are these people thinking about?
TUCKER: Well, they say, look, these are a declaration and an outline of our priorities.
And when I called them today, Lou, they said I was the first phone call they had received literally since the deal was first signed. So, people are not paying attention. And they're letting them, in fact, get away with this.
DOBBS: You know, I was asked the other day about whether or not I really thought the American people had the stomach to stand up and stop this nonsense, this direction from a group of elites, an absolute contravention of our law, of our Constitution, every national value.
And I hope, I pray that I'm right when I said yes. But this is -- I mean, this is beyond belief.
Bill Tucker, thank you very much.
It brings us to the subject of our poll tonight: Do you think maybe somebody should take a vote if we're going to merge the United States with Canada and Mexico, maybe, you know, people like you and me vote? Yes or no. Please cast your vote at LouDobbs.com. We will have the results here later in the broadcast.
Taking a look now at your thoughts, Vincent in Texas: "Lou, it's a sad state of affairs when it seems we need to choose between our border being secured five years after September 11 and upholding laws already on the books about immigration. This is the greatest country in the world. Why can't we do both?"
Why can't we do either?
Sharon in Ohio: "Lou, I can't understand why we aren't going to take down North Korea's missile. Isn't it only fair that, if they have the opportunity to practice, then we should, too?"
And Mike in Nevada: "Just like we have separation of church and state, we should have separation of government and corporations."
Roy in New Mexico: "There is no wonder criminality in our legal system, with violation of our immigration laws, is tolerated by our House and Senate -- birds of a feather."
Send us your thoughts at LouDobbs.com. We will have more of your thoughts here later in the broadcast.
Next here: an exclusive interview with the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, on this nation's nuclear showdown with Iran.
Also, Hazleton, Pennsylvania, about to launch one of the toughest crackdowns on illegal immigration in the country -- the mayor of Hazleton will be our special guest here.
And congressional leaders challenging the president's illegal alien amnesty plan -- three of the country's most distinguished political analysts join me.
Stay with us.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
DOBBS:
One day after the House of Representatives announced hearings on the Senate's so-called comprehensive immigration reform bill, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Arlen Specter, has announced he's scheduling hearings of his own on the House border security bill. Senator Specter says his first hearing will be held on July 5. He says the hearings could last into August.
Coming up next, Hazleton, Pennsylvania, it's a town cracking down on illegal immigration and companies that hire illegal aliens. The mayor says the proposed law in his city is one of the toughest in the nation. Mayor Lou Barletta joins us.
Will congressional hearings spell the end to the president's so- called comprehensive immigration reform, either in the House the Senate? Three of the nation's leading political analysts join us to try to find, or at least try to find out what in the world these elected officials think they're doing? Stay with us.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
DOBBS: In just a moment, I'll be talking with the mayor of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, Lou Barletta, who says illegal immigration is destroying his city and its way of life and he's doing something about it.
DOBBS:
The federal government's failure to address the illegal immigration crisis in this country is forcing many city leaders across the country to take action. The mayor of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, has introduced legislation to crack down on illegal aliens and the companies in his city that hire them. Kitty Pilgrim has the report from Hazleton.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
KITTY PILGRIM, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Hazleton, Pennsylvania, population 31,000, has seen its illegal alien population soar. The police chief says something had to be done about it. CHIEF ROBERT FERDINAND, HAZLETON, PA POLICE: We're having a problem with violent crimes being committed by illegal aliens in the city. The last murder we had was involving illegal aliens. The last major drug bust we've had involved illegal aliens.
PILGRIM: Officer John Leonard is on night patrol. He tells us what it's like on the street.
JOHN LEONARD, HAZLETON POLICE DEPARTMENT: Right now we're compiling a database for any suspected illegal aliens.
PILGRIM: Tonight, a quiet night. Only a few kids. But now the police chief says any illegal involved in gang activity will be turned over to ICE, to be deported. There are no clear numbers on how many illegals are in Hazleton. Mayor Lou Barletta says pressure was on him to do something.
MAYOR LOU BARLETTA, HAZLETON, PENNSYLVANIA: As the mayor of this city, I have an obligation to do something to restore and protect the quality of life in this city.
PILGRIM: He introduced a measure that would take away the business license of any company that hires illegal aliens. George Hayden runs a family contracting business started by his father, three decades ago in Hazleton. While many contractors nationally hire illegal aliens to keep costs down, he believes it is wrong.
GEORGE HAYDEN, CONTRACTOR: As a company, I don't believe -- I believe that we need to continue using the people that we have, the forces that we have that are legal in this area, in this region, to do the work.
PILGRIM: The mayor is also introducing provisions to fine any landlord $1,000 per occupant if they are illegal.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
PILGRIM: Now, the mayor says he has only a small budget to provide services for the legal residents of Hazleton, and he says he is tired of spending so much of that money on crime -- Lou.
DOBBS: Kitty, what is the -- as best you can judge it, the support for the mayor on this issue?
PILGRIM: Yes, we've been talking to a lot of people. And, of course, this is very controversial, Lou, but sincerely everyone we talked to today was very glad it was happening.
DOBBS: Kitty, thank you very much. Kitty Pilgrim reporting live from Hazleton, Pennsylvania.
The mayor of Hazleton says his city's Illegal Immigration Relief Act is one of the toughest laws of its kind in the country. He says illegal aliens are simply destroying the city that he loves and he doesn't want them there any longer. The measure he introduced last week was tentatively approved by the city council and it could become law in just a matter of weeks.
Mayor Lou Barletta joins me now from Hazleton. Mayor, good to have you with us.
BARLETTA: Thanks, Lou. Glad to be here.
DOBBS: This is a strong move you're taking, unlike some cities, about 40 in the country that have sanctuary laws. You're doing the inverse. You're saying if you're illegal, you're not welcome in Hazleton. What's been the reaction?
BARLETTA: Well, the reaction is I'm doing what the people of Hazleton elected me to do and that's to protect them and protect the quality of life. And that's what makes this city, which is a small city in America, so attractive to those that have lived here their entire life or those that have moved here for the quality of life that we enjoy.
DOBBS: Have you received more criticism or more support for the plan?
BARLETTA: It's been incredible. We've touched a nerve in the American people across the country. I'm getting e-mails from every state in the United States in support of this. We have over 3,000 e- mails in support of what we're doing here and maybe 10 that have been negative in that aspect.
And I think there are a lot of Hazleton, Pennsylvanias in the United States and people feel the same. They want a quality of life. They feel that people that are in this country illegally are draining the resources, draining budgets that are meant to be used to provide services for those that are here legally and paying taxes.
DOBBS: Let me give you an example of something, Mayor, local police in Belmont County, Ohio. They detained 20 illegal aliens early in the morning one evening this week. They called the Immigration and Customs Enforcement people. The federal officials told them let all of the illegal aliens go, they weren't going to do anything about it. Is that the kind of response that you're getting from the federal government?
BARLETTA: Well, actually, that is not what's really happening here. When we round up somebody that's in the country illegally, it's usually because they've committed a crime, unfortunately. And that's the type of thing that has this town terrorized.
And when I say it is destroying our city, it really is. When senior citizens are afraid to walk the street, I need to do something about it as the mayor and I can't wait for somebody else to do it for me. These people that live here, they don't want to talk to somebody in Washington or in Harrisburg or anywhere else. They want to talk to the mayor, and they expect me to do something.
And that's what we're going to do. We're going to protect ourselves. I understand the federal government is doing what it can to develop policies to protect our borders, but I have an obligation to protect the borders of the people that elected me to be their mayor.
DOBBS: Mayor -- Mr. Mayor, let's be really honest, the federal government is doing almost nothing to secure our borders and doing almost nothing to enforce our immigration laws in this country. I think we can be honest about that and direct.
BARLETTA: Well, we're going to do what we can to take this matter in our own hands and that's what's happening here in Hazleton.
DOBBS: Let me also quote, though, from another resident. You talked about your residents being terrified. If you would listen to this soundbite from one of the residents of your community with whom we spoke.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: When we came here, we find the door open. We find the word saying welcome. Now we feel that you are closing the door for us.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
DOBBS: That's another reaction. It is -- you've been mayor there for what, six years now, Mr. Mayor?
BARLETTA: That's correct. I'm in my seventh year now.
DOBBS: And what has changed over time? Why -- obviously, somebody was welcoming these illegal aliens, hiring them, giving them jobs and asking them to work for usually very much substandard wages. What's changed?
BARLETTA: Well, I want to say this first, Lou, is that I am not rolling up the welcome mat for those that want to come to -- for immigrants that want to come to Hazleton. The key here is as long as you are legal, I welcome immigration.
However, what I do not want in this city is illegal immigrants. And somehow, some way, that is being lost in translation here. If you are illegal, I do not want you in this city. That's as plain as that. I can't be any more direct than that, and I cannot be any more direct than saying that we welcome legal immigration.
And what's changed, Lou, is the fact that we've had some very violent murders, very violent crimes here, gangland, gang-related graffiti, someone shooting -- an illegal shooting a firearm on a playground where Hispanic children were playing. To me, that is sacred ground. And as the mayor, I have an obligation to protect everybody that's here.
DOBBS: Mr. Mayor, we appreciate you being here. At this point, have you been threatened with lawsuits? What's the status there? Because you know that you're inviting them.
BARLETTA: Well, we haven't been, Lou. And, you know, actually, we feel -- I have sound legal advice, you know, on what we're doing here. We're trying to protect the rights of legal citizens that are in this city.
DOBBS: Mayor Lou Barletta, we thank you very much.
BARLETTA: Thank you, Lou.
DOBBS: Mayor of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, appreciate your being here.
BARLETTA: Thank you. You're welcome.
DOBBS: A reminder now to vote in our poll. Do you believe that -- and this is on the issue of the so-called North American security and prosperity plan. You haven't heard about it? Well, you and millions of other Americans. But the idea of just merging Canada, Mexico and the United States into one, sometime some say within say, the next three to four years.
Do you think, our question is, maybe somebody should take a vote if we're going to merge Canada, Mexico and the United States as the leaders of the three countries are attempting to do with the security and prosperity partnership? Yes or no. Cast your vote at LouDobbs.com. The answer is coming up here shortly.
Still ahead, three of the country's best political analysts join me to talk about immigration reform, Iran, North Korea, and upcoming midterm elections. Stay with us.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
DOBBS: Joining me now Michael Goodwin, columnist "New York Daily News"; James Taranto, editor of opinionjournal.com; Robert Zimmerman, Democratic strategist and good fellow.
Let me start with you, good fellow. The fact of the matter is that Senator Kerry, the Democrats are having a hard time coming to some consensus on Iraq at the same time they're challenging the administration. What is going on?
ROBERT ZIMMERMAN, DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST: What's called leadership, it's called initiative. I'm incredibly proud of the Democratic senators for having the courage to challenge the status quo and to come out there with alternative ideas. We talk about what the plan is, Bush doesn't have a plan. The Bush administration doesn't have a prayer. I'm all for faith-based initiatives, but not when it come to fighting war.
DOBBS: James Taranto, can you top that? That was a very good line.
JAMES TARANTO, EDITOR, OPINIONJOURNAL.COM: I think the Bush administration does have a plan which is to stay there until we can get out and leave Iraq a stable and decently governed Iraq behind.
DOBBS: I don't see that on a bumper sticker anywhere.
TARANTO: Well fair enough, but you also don't see President Bush running for re-election.
DOBBS: I hope there's no correlation between our -- between that fact and the strategy. Is there, Michael?
MICHAEL GOODWIN, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS: No, I think that the Democrats are being dragged to the left by the energy of their party, which is on the Internet, which is the Howard Dean crowd.
And I think they're going to regret this vote because I think that it shows -- even someone like Hillary Clinton who doesn't support a timetable, but yet wants to support -- feel she has to support a plan for a phased withdrawal without a date and without a demand. That's being dragged to the left against your better judgment because that still puts you in the same position of telling the terrorists and telling our allies we want to get out of this.
DOBBS: Help me out there. Robert, just help me out.
ZIMMERMAN: OK.
DOBBS: Now, the Republicans are led by the right and that's apparently a good thing. The...
ZIMMERMAN: I didn't say it was a good thing.
DOBBS: ... Democrats tend to be criticized when they move to the left. So what am I losing here?
ZIMMERMAN: I think what we're all losing is the fact that we're letting the Republicans define what is left and right in America today. If you look at the most recent CNN polls -- in fact the CNN polls over a period of time, a majority of Americans believe this war was a mistake, feel it has been poorly planned, terribly executed and they want to see American soldiers withdrawn so that Iraqi soldiers fight these battles. So I don't consider its a left wing position. I think what the Democrats are doing is very mainstream.
TARANTO: Yes, but they don't want to see America pull out immediately or on a date certain.
ZIMMERMAN: No one is advocating that.
TARANTO: Yes, that is exactly what John Kerry is saying.
ZIMMERMAN: Quite the opposite. He's talking about a redeployment, there's a very big distinction.
TARANTO: Redeployment is a euphemism for cut and run.
ZIMMERMAN: No, it is not.
TARANTO: Is the _expression stay the course simply a euphemism for continued disappointment and the continued loss of American lives without achievement of political and military objectives?
GOODWIN: I think the question is do we believe we have a purpose there? And unless you want to say we have no purpose, and then therefore we should go immediately. If we should go, then why not go immediately?
ZIMMERMAN: Because no one's saying we don't have a purpose. The reality of our role there is to create a stable government. The approach that John Kerry and many of the Democrats are putting on the table is creating a stable government by creating standards and deadlines.
TARANTO: John Murtha is holding up our withdrawal from Somalia as an example. Somalia, which emboldened our enemies.
DOBBS: Let me change the issue of illegal immigration or comprehensive immigration reform and an absolute lack of border security for a change. And this is what Senator Ken Salazar had to say about the House of Representatives deciding to hold hearings to find out what's really going on in illegal immigration and border security. If you would all listen along with us please.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
SEN. KEN SALAZAR (D), COLORADO: I smell a rat, you know? And I think the rat is that the House of Representatives under their leadership really don't want a bill at all. What they want to do is they want to orchestrate this issue for political advantage.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
DOBBS: Well let me ask you, James. Now Senator Arlen Specter, chairman of the judicial committee, the author of the comprehensive immigration reform legislation passed by the Senate, not to be outdone, has called for hearings of his own. Aren't you proud?
TARANTO: Well, look, accusing a politician of acting out of political motives is kind of redundant, it seems to me. I think that the House Republicans...
DOBBS: ... It was the best question I could come up with on the spur of the moment.
TARANTO: The House Republicans would like to get something passed on the enforcement side. I suspect if they tone down their proposal somewhat and get rid of this proposal to make 11 million illegal immigrants felons, they might be able to get something through the Senate.
ZIMMERMAN: James, they have no interest in getting anything through the process and that's the real tragedy here. The reality of what the House Republicans are proposing is a complete reversal of the process. In the old days, you had hearings, then you passed legislation. Here the House Republicans have passed legislation, now they want to hold hearings. It's like having...
DOBBS: ... So does the Senate.
ZIMMERMAN: I think it's deplorable on both sides. It is like having a Broadway opening before you have previews.
DOBBS: I think it's absolutely mind boggling that the Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans -- the Senate Republican leadership passed a piece of legislation in two weeks and those phony, lying sons of guns stand up and talk about this 715 pages as if it's a real achievement, is a mockery of everything the Senate's supposed to be about.
ZIMMERMAN: I think they read it.
DOBBS: But those are the Senate Democrats that the president made into the majority party for the day.
ZIMMERMAN: Well we're going to work on that for November, Lou.
DOBBS: Are they going to succeed in November?
GOODWIN: Well, right now, the way Democrats handle themselves today, no. I mean, I think -- look Bush is very weak. He's not on the -- on any ballot but he's at the head of every Republican ticket.
DOBBS: Is that part of the problem for the Republicans in the House?
GOODWIN: Absolutely.
DOBBS: The fact that he's not on the ticket?
GOODWIN: Look what happened in the race in San Diego where the -- it's a Republican district, but he made immigration the main issue and he won going away. And I think that emboldened the House conservatives, that they have the right side of this issue among the public.
DOBBS: You get the last quick word on this, James.
TARANTO: I think that's right. I think the politics are on the side of immigration enforcement. I say that as somebody who would like to make it easier to become a citizen.
DOBBS: OK, and we'll take that conundrum and enigma and mystery and we'll wait until the next time. Come back soon. James Taranto, thank you very much. Michael Goodwin, Robert Zimmerman, thank you. Still ahead here, we'll have more of your thoughts and some of those thoughts will sort out all of this, and the results of our poll which will be a clear declaration of the direction of this country over the next 10 years. Stay with us.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
DOBBS: The results of our poll tonight, 98 percent of you say maybe, just maybe somebody should take a vote if we are going to go ahead and merge Canada, Mexico and the United States. There's still a suggestion that we do want to be of the people and by the people and for the people. That's reassuring to me. I hope it is to you.
Taking a look now at more of your thoughts.
Andrea in Missouri: Whatever happened to "proud to be an American?" Our government certainly doesn't make me proud. It disgusts me.
And John in Tennessee: Earned legalization for illegal aliens that have been here longer? Shouldn't they receive larger fines and possibly other legal actions taken against them for breaking our laws for a longer period of time?
Interesting point.
And Frank in Kentucky: Lou, don't put all the blame for the failure of students in our public schools and teachers and administration. Try putting it where it starts: the parents who wouldn't help their children and those who've taken the discipline out of public schools, mostly parents and lawyers.
And Cathy in Minnesota: Dear Lou, the minimum wage has not been increased since 1997. How about a maximum wage? Say it was $1,000 per hour, oh no. Poor CEOs would only make, let's see, 40 hours a week, 40,000 times, $2 million a year? Outrageous! How could they manage on such a paltry pay?
And Frank in New York: Shame on the Senate for accepting their pay raise while saying no to any legislation to raise the minimum wage for honest, hard-working Americans doing jobs congressional members will not do.
That's our broadcast for tonight. We thank you for being with us. Stay with CNN as "THE SITUATION ROOM" is about to begin right now with Wolf Blitzer -- Wolf.

The Morphosis and the sabotage of Canada by our own government
by Connie Fogal
written in three parts: print entire article (PDF)
The North American continent is being transformed from three sovereign nations Canada, USA, Mexico) into one regional corporate power base, the North American Union. Unlike the creation of the European Union, there is no public political/ academic discourse on the merits, or pros and cons of a North American Union building up to a vote within each nation as to the wish of the people to join such a union. Instead the union is being created by stealth, is already well on its way to fruition, and is being imposed on us by our own elected representatives and government with no opposition.
The driving force is corporate. The Chief Executive Officers of the most powerful corporations operating in the three countries want this union and have been working for some time devising their strategies and goals. Their facilitators are first, unelected officials and bureaucrats who move easily between corporations and government; second, former elected officials like John Manley , former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada; third, the heads of the three nations, Martin, Bush, and Fox; and finally, the governments and the rest of the elected members who apparently just rubber stamp what is put in front of them by the unelected officials- few questions, if any asked.
The ultimate enforcement mechanism for the North American Union is a police state.
The tools for the police state are "anti-terrorist" laws which, in themselves, are a ruse to strip the citizens of civil liberties in order to prevent dissent against the police state.
The Orwellian justification is "security", "safety".

THE NEW WORLD DISORDER
CFR's solution to illegal immigration
Grandiose Council on Foreign Relations' plan barely mentions alien invasion of U.S.
Editor's note: With scarcely a mention of the horrendous illegal immigration problem plaguing America, the Council on Foreign Relations – which some call America's "shadow government" – has laid out a comprehensive plan to essentially merge the U.S., Mexico and Canada into one entity with an outer security perimeter. Following are selected excerpts of the 59-page document, titled "Building a North American Community."
Excerpts:
Establish a common security perimeter by 2010. The governments of Canada, Mexico, and the United States should articulate as their long-term goal a common security perimeter for North America. In particular, the three governments should strive toward a situation in which a terrorist trying to penetrate our borders will have an equally hard time doing so, no matter which country he elects to enter first. We believe that these measures should be extended to include a commitment to common approaches toward international negotiations on the global movement of people, cargo, and vessels. Like free trade a decade ago, a common security perimeter for North America is an ambitious but achievable goal that will require specific policy, statutory, and procedural changes in all three nations.
Develop a North American Border Pass. The three countries should develop a secure North American Border Pass with biometric identifiers. This document would allow its bearers expedited passage through customs, immigration, and airport security throughout the region. The program would be modeled on the U.S.-Canadian "NEXUS" and the U.S.-Mexican "SENTRI" programs, which provide "smart cards" to allow swifter passage to those who pose no risk. Only those who voluntarily seek, receive, and pay the costs for a security clearance would obtain a Border Pass. The pass would be accepted at all border points within North America as a complement to, but not a replacement for, national identity documents or passports.
While polls show a majority of Americans favor a physical wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, the CFR report is advocating exactly the opposite:
Lay the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America. 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.
Establish a permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution. The current NAFTA dispute-resolution process is founded on ad hoc panels that are not capable of building institutional memory or establishing precedent, may be subject to conflicts of interest, and are appointed by authorities who may have an incentive to delay a given proceeding. As demonstrated by the efficiency of the World Trade Organization (WTO) appeal process, a permanent tribunal would likely encourage faster, more consistent, and more predictable resolution of disputes. In addition, there is a need to review the workings of NAFTA’s dispute-settlement mechanism to make it more efficient, transparent, and effective. …
While America is being transformed demographically, and in particular the U.S. Southwest targeted for takeover by militant illegal immigrant groups, the CFR recommends "increased labor mobility" between Mexico and the U.S.
Increase Labor Mobility within North America
People are North America’s greatest asset. Goods and services cross borders easily; ensuring the legal transit of North American workers has been more difficult. Experience with the NAFTA visa system suggests that its procedures need to be simplified, and such visas should be made available to a wider range of occupations and to additional categories of individuals such as students, professors, bona fide frequent visitors, and retirees.
To make the most of the impressive pool of skill and talent within North America, the three countries should look beyond the NAFTA visa system. The large volume of undocumented migrants from Mexico within the United States is an urgent matter for those two countries to address. A long-term goal should be to create a "North American Preference" – new rules that would make it much easier for employees to move and for employers to recruit across national boundaries within the continent. This would enhance North American competitiveness, increase productivity, contribute to Mexico’s development, and address one of the main outstanding issues on the Mexican-U.S. bilateral agenda.
Canada and the United States should consider eliminating restrictions on labor mobility altogether and work toward solutions that, in the long run, could enable the extension of full labor mobility to Mexico as well. …
There is even a plan to open up Social Security to Mexicans:
Implement the Social Security Totalization Agreement negotiated between the United States and Mexico. This agreement would recognize payroll contributions to each other’s systems, thus preventing double taxation. …

THE NEW WORLD DISORDER
U.S.-Mexico merger opposition intensifies
Some see secret efforts to scrap dollar, end U.S. sovereignty, combine nations
Posted: July 9, 2006
WASHINGTON – Are secret meetings being held between the corporate and political elites of the U.S., Mexico and Canada to push North America into a European Union-style merger?
Is President Bush's reluctance to control the border and enforce laws requiring deportation of foreigners who enter the country illegally part of a master plan to all but eliminate borders between the U.S., Canada and Mexico?
Does the agenda of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America include a common currency that would scrap the dollar in favor of what some are calling the "amero"?
It may be the biggest story of the 21st century, but few press outlets are telling it. In fact, until very recently, few in the U.S. were aware of the plans and even fewer denouncing what appears to be the implementation of an effort some have characterized as "NAFTA on steroids."
But opposition is mounting.
CNN's Lou Dobbs
Perhaps the most blistering criticism has come from Lou Dobbs of CNN – a frequent critic of Bush's immigration policies.
"A regional prosperity and security program?" he asked rhetorically in a recent cablecast. "This is absolute ignorance. And the fact that we are -- we reported this, we should point out, when it was signed. But, as we watch this thing progress, these working groups are continuing. They're intensifying. What in the world are these people thinking about? You know, I was asked the other day about whether or not I really thought the American people had the stomach to stand up and stop this nonsense, this direction from a group of elites, an absolute contravention of our law, of our Constitution, every national value. And I hope, I pray that I'm right when I said yes. But this is -- I mean, this is beyond belief."
What has Dobbs and a few other vocal critics bugged began in earnest March 31, 2005, when the elected leaders of the U.S., Mexico and Canada agreed to advance the agenda of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.
No one seems quite certain what that agenda is because of the vagueness of the official declarations. But among the things the leaders of the three countries agreed to work toward were borders that would allow for easier and faster moving of goods and people between the countries.
Coming as the announcement did in the midst of a raging national debate in the U.S. over borders seen as far to open already, more than a few jaws dropped.
