U.S. legislator: Bush wants a N. American union

By BETH GORHAM

WASHINGTON (CP) - A U.S. legislator who backs tough anti-immigrant measures and more security at the Canada-U.S. border is warning Americans that President George W. Bush is plotting to integrate the continent.

And he says Prime Minister Stephen Harper "buys into it." Colorado Republican Tom Tancredo, revered by some U.S. conservatives for his efforts to staunch the flow of illegal immigrants from Mexico, said this week that Bush is a dangerous internationalist.

"He is going to do what he can to create a place where the idea of America is just that, it's an idea. It's not an actual place defined by borders. I mean this is where the guy is really going," he told WorldNetDaily, a controversial conservative website.

"I know this is dramatic, or maybe somebody would say overly dramatic. But I'm telling you that everything I see leads me to believe that this whole idea of the North American union, it's not something that's just written about by right-wing fringe kooks," said Tancredo, who is considering a run at the presidency.
"It is something in the head of the president of the United States, the president of Mexico, I think the prime minister of Canada buys into it . . ."

Tancredo followed up with an interview on the conservative Fox News network, where he said the borders will lose all their significance, serving merely as "speed bumps" in the flow of goods, services and people.

In October, Tancredo demanded the United States suspend work on the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) signed last year by Canada, Mexico and The United States until Congress examines its goals and agreements, which include standardizing regulations and dismantling other barriers to trade.

The deal to collaborate on a wide range of trade and security issues is part of a larger plot to merge the countries in a European Union-like arrangement using a common currency, he said, with no oversight from legislators.

The congressman, who wrote a book on the border security issue called "In Mortal Danger," is one of four members of Congress who've signed a resolution opposed to a union or a free trade "superhighway system."

They're not the only ones worried about closer ties between the three countries.

A coalition of American conservatives is organizing a grassroots effort to make it an issue in the 2008 presidential race and vow to campaign against any candidate, Republican or Democrat, who won't side with them.

The movement was spearheaded in October by Howard Phillips, chairman of the public policy group Conservative Caucus, anti-feminist activist Phyllis Schlafly and author Jerome Corsi.

The group is calling for a congressional investigation into the SPP and full disclosure of all documents when the new Congress run by Democrats begins in January. They're getting support from the Minuteman Project that monitors the borders to deter illegal crossings, a group Bush has called vigilantes.

Supporters of the anti-union stand point out that a prominent three-country task force backed by Canada's business elite has promoted an elaborate vision of a common economy and security perimeter.

The plan, released last year, drew fire from some Canadians who saw it as a dangerous surrender of sovereignty designed to benefit big business.

Tancredo, who has often talked about the "porous" Canada-U.S. border, stirred up controversy last year when he mused on a Florida radio show that America could destroy Islamic holy sites like Mecca if there's another terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

While beloved by many right-wingers and immigration hawks, Tancredo was recently labelled one of the 10 worst congressmen by Rolling Stone magazine.

The publication noted he wants to deport every undocumented worker in the United States, a proposal that would cost at least US$200 billion, and has called for halting all immigration, legal or otherwise.


Don't take this with a grain of salt, you'd had best buy a salt-lick

   

Nah! I figure the Liberal Party will make the most of this nutbars comments. May as well blame him before they do!

   

Martin was the one that got this ball rolling. I wouldn't trust Iggy on it either.

   

Lily I don't normally correct people but you made a typo. You meant to write Liberal instead of Conservative. No big deal, just thought I'd mention it.

   

this would be devastating for canada. with the way america spends money it doesn't have to fight wars it doesn't need, having a common currency would be like playing russian roulette. our dollar is finally gaining and getting closer to par than it has in a long time. not to mention losing sovereignty. the way we run our country is fine for us and there's no need to change it.

   

I can just imagine so many people here are now all ticked off because you took the wind from their sails. Maybe the Libs can get Gore, Dean or Clinton to give a keynote speech about it at their convention.

..Shouldn't that be heil Harper?

   

double post.

   

They're both whores IMO Not the best thing they could have done, but it had to be done.
So far I've only seen him break promises that he had to.

Not my way so don't paint us all.

   

I'm seeing the difference right there. It's obvious but thanks for pointing it out:

I just cleaned it up a little for us all

   

You mean the change that makes Quebec a nation? Or are you talking about the change to the Immigration act that would had the immigration minister allow known terrorists in from Somalia? Please clear that up for me?

Emerson and Stronach are both political sluts. Each would sell their mother for a position in whatever government is ruling. I guess you're not paying attention to who's making what comments about the two of them. I think at one time or another all the conservatives here have pretty much said they should both be tossed out. Once again you're taking a typical liberl cheap shot at the Conservatives here.

   

LMAO

   

Emerson is OK. I checked him out. Normal kinda guy. Smart as a whip. The lumbar (SIC) industry loves him. I like Belinda too. She has lots of loose change. Now has a life time pension, indexed to boot.
Belinda and I could make music together in faraway places. Greece, Hades or even Constantinople.

   

"Let's kill all the politicians"

Including the Left too. All of them.

Then elect me.

You can't vote if your insane, But you can get elected!

   

I think you have to be elected six years to get your free ticket, sorry pension.
