What's really unfortunate about the illegal immigration debate is that American citizens who advocate open borders and side with illegal aliens don't understand the geopolitical push for the elimination of all borders in order to maximize and grow profit margins for transnational corporations. Allowing illegal immigration to go on for decades as it has in the U.S., quietly allows regional integration to take place before anyone can discuss it let alone resist the dissolution of U.S. sovereignty.

There is plenty of documentation on and offline where Globalists are calling to regionalize groups of countries into integrated trade blocs or regions. In a report, A Fair Globalization: Creating Opportunities for All, by the U.N's International Labor Organization (ILO), it's stated, "Countries are better able to manage the social and economic challenges of globalization by working together. That calls for better integration of social and economic policies in the process of regional integration, as has been the aim in the European Union (EU), the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Southern Cone Common Market (Mercosur), among others." (p. 14)

If you think it's just the U.N., then have a look at the recommendations on the U.S. Embassy's website in Canada called Building a North American Community. Here former government officials and corporate leaders call for a "common security perimeter" for the U.S., Canada and Mexico by 2010 (p. 8) where people (including workers) from all three countries would be able to move freely within the "perimeter" (pp. 10, 26 - 28). Think of the "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" that President Bush entered into with Mexico and Canada as steps towards this goal. Other outrageous recommendations include retraining our public school teachers to instill a "North American identity" in our children. See page 30, where it says "Develop teacher exchange and training programs for elementary and secondary school teachers. This would assist in removing language barriers and give some students a greater sense of a North American identity. Greater efforts should also be made to recruit Mexican language teachers to teach Spanish in the United States and Canada." Yes, corporate America, multinationals, Big Brother, the New World Order, Global Regime or whatever you want to call them/it wants to reshape the national identities of our future generations to regional identities through our own public schools! This gives a whole new meaning to corporate welfare!

These widely endorsed recommendations are actually mild compared to proposals by Trilateral Commission participants that call for a North American police force ("modeled after Europol"), N.A. Parliament (to “raise the sensitivity of American Congressmen”), N.A. passports, N.A. Customs & Immigration agents, N.A. Development Fund, etc.
A North American Community
A Mexican Vision for North America

The ILO must be proud of our Senate for trying to link border enforcement to guest-worker-amnesty legislation because in A Fair Globalization: Creating Opportunities for All, it states, "A fairer framework for the movement of people was essential, and in the European regional dialogue it was argued that “any policy of restriction should be linked to a policy of trade liberalization and development cooperation”." (p. 14)

Building a North American "community" amounts to policies focused on creating an integrated population to compete with populations the size of China and India each of which surpass one billion. Globalists already had their way developing China as the transnationalists' new manufacturing base without any attempt to negotiate for human rights in China, free Tibet or even secure the future rights of Taiwan to remain sovereign and free from China's non-democratic government. Mass overpopulation (through regionalization) in the U.S. would allow manufacturers and most other employers to dictate wages at third world levels where we would then see jobs that had been offshored begin to return to North America.

The United States of Corp-ocracy. Coming to a continent near you.

Seriously, thanks for posting this. I've been saying this among my friends and family for years now.

THe shame is that most of us are complicit, either actively or unconsciously, in the illegal wage trade. It's very hard to step outside the North American cultural values that demand you have so much for so little cost.

Who stands to profit handsomely from the cultural rifts that are happening right now?

When the US Chamber of COmmerce and nearly every corporate PAC supports the guest worker program. Anyone with an IQ of over 75 can smell a rat.

ONce again the rich get richer and the poor become marganized and institutionalized.

The real cost of a lower standard of living? Slavery, Crime and Dictatorship.
