North American Union Already Starting to Replace USA

In March 2005 at their summit meeting in Waco, Tex., President Bush, President Fox and Prime Minister Martin issued a joint statement announced the creation of the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America” (SPP). The creation of this new agreement was never submitted to Congress for debate and decision. Instead, the U.S. Department of Commerce merely created a new division under the same title to implement working groups to advance a North American Union working agenda in a wide range of areas, including: manufactured goods, movement of goods, energy, environment, e-commerce, financial services, business facilitation, food and agriculture, transportation, and health.
SPP is headed by three top cabinet level officers of each
country. Representing the
Reporting in June 2005 to the heads of state of the three countries, the trilateral SPP emphasized the extensive working group structure that had been established to pursue an ambitious agenda:
In carrying out your instructions,
we established working groups under both agendas of the Partnership – Security
and Prosperity. We held roundtables with stakeholders, meetings with
business groups and briefing sessions with Legislatures, as well as with other
relevant political jurisdictions. The result is a detailed series of
actions and recommendations designed to increase the competitiveness of
This is not a theoretical exercise being prepared so it can be submitted for review. Instead, SPP is producing an action agreement to be implemented directly by regulations, without any envisioned direct Congressional oversight.
Upon your review and approval, we will once again meet with stakeholders and work with them to implement the workplans that we have developed.
And again, the June 2005 SPP report stresses:
The success of our efforts will be
defined less by the contents of the work plans than by the actual implementation
of initiatives and strategies that will make
Reviewing the specific working agenda initiatives, the goal
to implement directly is apparent. Nearly every work plan is characterized
by action steps described variously as “our three countries signed a Framework
of Common Principles …” or “we have signed a Memorandum of Understanding …,” or
“we have signed a declaration of intent …” etc. Once again, none of the 30
or so working agendas makes any mention of submitting decisions to the U.S.
Congress for review and approval. No new
What we have here is an executive branch plan being implemented by the Bush administration to construct a new super-regional structure completely by fiat. Yet, we can find no single speech in which President Bush has ever openly expressed to the American people his intention to create a North American Union by evolving NAFTA into this NAFTA-Plus as a first, implementing step.
Anyone who has wondered why President Bush has not bothered
to secure our borders is advised to spend some time examining the SPP working
groups’ agenda. In every area of activity, the SPP agenda stresses free
and open movement of people, trade, and capital within the North American
Union. Once the SPP agenda is implemented with appropriate departmental
regulations, there will be no area of immigration policy, trade rules,
environmental regulations, capital flows, public health, plus dozens of other
key policy areas countries that the
The extensive working group activity being implemented right

The Task Force’s central recommendation is the establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community, the boundaries of which would be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter. (page xvii)
The only borders or tariffs which would remain would be those around the continent, not those between the countries within:
Its (the North American
Community’s) boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer
security perimeter within which the movement of people, products, and capital
will be legal, orderly, and safe. Its goal will be to guarantee a free,
secure, just, and prosperous
What will happen to the sovereignty of the
While each country must retain its right to impose and maintain unique regulations consonant with its national priorities and income level, the three countries should make a concerted effort to encourage regulatory convergence.
The three leaders highlighted the
importance of addressing this issue at their March 2005 summit in
Again, the CFR report says nothing about reporting to Congress or to the American people. What we have underway here with the SPP could arguably be termed a bureaucratic coup d’etat. If that is not the intent, then President Bush should rein in the bureaucracy until the American people have been fully informed of the true nature of our government’s desire to create a North American Union. Otherwise, the North American Union will become a reality in 2010 as planned. Right now, the only check or balance being exercised is arguably Congressional oversight of the executive bureaucracy, even though Congress itself might not fully appreciate what is happening.
