Conspiracy theory? The NAU - one Mexican official wants it
I'm not a conspiracy kinda guy...but I am anti-illegal immigration. I believe in the sovereignty of the US and truly believe that, even with all of the flaws that liberals love to chirp about, the US is the best nation in the world. US citizenship is an honor and a privilege; it is not something to be easily wasted or shared. Devaluing our citizenship, our heritage, or our sense of the good that we have done for the world (and yes, we have shed more blood and given up more of our treasure than any other in world history) is not on my A list of things to do. I will fight that tooth and nail.
Jingoistic? Thanks for the label!
Back to the topic. There are many that believe that the impending transportation highway ("NAFTA Superhighway") from Mexico to Kansas City (for now) and onward to Canada is the beginning of the North American Union - transplanting the European Union to this continent. The Amero, free flow of immigrants, free trade; some believe that the stage is being set.
With stories abounding of Mexico making it easier and easier for folks to cross our border (consular matricula, comic books outlining how to cross the border, constant whining about their citizens being ill treated, Mexico providing Mexican curriculum to American schools,et al), I'm not surprised at this:
At a Denver conference on intercontinental trade corridors, a Mexican mayor called for a swift move toward a European Union-style merger of the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Referring to Europe, Evaristo Lenin Perez of Ciudad Acuna – a sister city of Del Rio, Texas – told the Great Plains International Conference, "It's a model we need to follow quickly."
Perez later told WND, "If only people know the benefits of opening the borders and working together, improving the quality of life for all, then no one would be opposed to the idea of a North American Union."
I agree with lowering the barriers to trade - it does improve the quality of life over the long haul. But this is not just about trade. Of COURSE this mayor would be in favor of it - Mexicans would have an improved quality of life if Amerandico existed - but would ours? Would that of Canadians improve? Whose laws and jurisdictions would prevail? And what about international treaties?
The European Union, if carefully examined, seems to be not more than an unelected bureaucracy over regulating everyone else, themselves ruled by Political Correctness and a outlook that every one has to be taken care of.
"We are all North Americans," he said. "Three countries, but we are all North Americans."
We share a continent...we do not share the same values or same outlook. The philosophies of how each country works are far different (I have no love for joining with an oligarchical society that fails to provide for its own citizens and prefers to pawn them off on another country).
