Bush Plans Super Highway From Mexico to Canada

According to Human Events Online, while we are all fretting about illegal immigration, quietly but systematically, the Bush Administration is advancing the plan to build a huge NAFTA (North America Free Trade Association) 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, Minnesota. Good grief. Talk about globalization (and loss of American jobs) at it’s absolute worst.

Once complete, the new super highway will allow containers from the Far East to enter the United States bypassing the Longshoreman’s Union in the process. The Mexican trucks will drive straight into the heartland of America by crossing the border in FAST lanes, checked only electronically by the new “SENTRI” system. The first custom stop will be at a new facility in KANSAS CITY.

Construction is scheduled to start next year. Dozens of U. S. government agencies, state agencies and scores of non-government agencies are working behind the scenes to build the new NAFTA Super Highway. There are also plans afoot to create the North American Union (the equivalent of the European Union) as the logical next step in the loss of our independence and economic freedoms.

The Super Highway is the brainchild of NASCO (North American SuperCorridor Coalition, Inc.), which claims to be a “non-profit organization 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 and competitiveness and quality of life in North America.” Carefully note that the good ol’ USA is not mentioned in that marketing blurb. NASCO has received $2.5 million in earmarks from the U. S. Department of Transportation to plan the highway.

North American Union - A Top Goal of Secretary of Commerce

Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez has declared advancing the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America to one of his top goals, writing in a letter archived on the Department of Commerce website that “I have made the SPP one of my top priorities and will utilize the talents and expertise of the people across the Department of Commerce to ensure the SPP is a success.”

Secretary Gutierrez next laid out an explanation of how “security” and “prosperity” fit together, using language that carefully replaced reference to the United States of America to language embracing the concept of “North America” as an economic and political reality.

Secretary Gutierrez enters the discussion by bragging about the importance of the role he is assigned to play:

Organizationally, I am jointly responsible for the economic, or prosperity, component of the SPP, with my Canadian counterpart, Minister of Industry David Emerson, and my Mexican counterpart, Secretary of Economy Fernando Canales. Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, jointly with his Canadian and Mexican counterparts, is responsible for the security component. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, jointly with her Canadian and Mexican counterparts, will ensure that the two components are integrated and that the SPP advances our strong relations with Mexico and Canada.

Working groups rewriting U.S. administrative laws in areas ranging from e-commerce, to steel policy, to energy policy, to aviation control, to border crossing policy, to environment (to mention just a few) are arguably creating the legal infrastructure for a regional government to emerge by administrative fiat.

Yet, there is no provision in the U.S. Constitution that justifies the executive branch to rewrite U.S. administrative law without formulating a treaty that must be submitted to the Senate for ratification by a two-thirds vote. These are the cold realities Secretary Gutierrez and SPP.gov seek to side step with their reassuring “security” and “prosperity” platitudes.

Our Government is Erasing Our Borders

In line with the push to create the North American Union (NAU), the federal government is slowly but surely erasing our borders.

It began in 1993, with an expansion of the "La Paz Agreement" between the United States and Mexico. Bill Clinton issued Executive Order 12904 in 1994, which created the Border Environment Cooperation Commission, to oversee development in "Border Region XXI," a region 62-miles wide on either side of the U.S./Mexico border. This little-known agreement, a side deal in the much-touted North America Free Trade Agreement, was a precursor to the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, born in March 2005.

Recently we gave been alerted to the Transportation Super-Highway from Southern Mexico to Kansas City (and eventually to Canada), which will virtually eliminate border security and thousands of American jobs. Government agencies are ignoring the plight of the thousands of businesses and farms that will be seized under Eminent Domain to accomplish this project.

At the root of the problem is an evolving concept of what America is, or was, or should be. For nearly a century, America led the world in freedom and prosperity, not because government decided what is best for America, but because a free people decided what government could, and could not do.

Somewhere along the way, the people got too busy earning a living, or watching ball games, or shopping, or vacationing, or getting rich off government projects, so that the idea of limiting government initiatives fell out of favor. Most of America seems perfectly content to let government do whatever it wants. Aside from complaining, there is little evidence that the majority of Americans care enough about what America is becoming, to do the work necessary to return government to the people.

Consider this: per capita income in the U.S. is $41,800; in Canada, $34,000; in Mexico, $10,000. Were these three economies "homogenized," as is the goal of the trade agreements and the Security and Prosperity Partnership, the per capita income of all three nations would be $28,000.

Once these agreements erase our borders, America will be nothing more than a member of the North American Union, with only a fading memory of glories past.
