In the fight against the last immigration bill, I made a lot of contacts with other bloggers, organizations and various entities.  It helped to exchange information and combine resources.  I don\’t begrudge their contributions, nor do I regret the contact.

But please, fellow immigrations allies, please oh please, think before you speak on the next issue.  It appears that issue, at least for some, is the North American Union.  Yeah, I know most of you haven\’t heard of it, that\’s because it doesn\’t exist….except perhaps in the imaginations of some.

But with this recent summit of the leaders of Canada, the United States and Mexico, the claims have renewed themselves.  And honestly I have to say folks, you want to know why nobody else is marching to your fife and drum this time? Cause you sound like a bunch of kooks.  Let me be clear, there is no North American Union.  Nor is there any attempt to create one.

Yes, they are building a super-highway across the continent, so what???  Is there anything wrong with easing the ability of free trade? No of course not.  That\’s really all this highway does, makes transportation of goods a little easier.

But let me be clear, there are NO plans to merge our three countries.  As you should well know that would take at the very least congressional approval, lots of legislation and most likely a constitutional amendment or twenty.  Have ANY of those happened?? Can you show me one single piece of legislation that even hints at it?  No.

Plus just imagine all that would have to happen before such a union could occur.  Actually let\’s just consider one.  Currency.  A single currency would have to be adopted.  You think that can happen before 2009?? Exactly.

But heh, let\’s say they are secretly throwing something to together.  Let\’s pretend the entire Congress is behind him, which would be the first bi-partisan thing Congress has done since 9/11.  Let\’s pretend the millions of logistical/organization things that would have to happen first will happen overnite, thanks to Pres. Bush\’s brand new Acme Magical Fairy Wand©.  Let\’s pretend Mexico and Canada\’s government are gonna roll over on this.  Let\’s pretend purple poo-flinging monkeys are running a secret shadow government….ok that one probably isn\’t necessary but it\’s equally plausible.

Let\’s say ALL of that is true. At the very least it would still require at least one constitutional amendment.  Which requires 2/3rds of the states approval.  So in addition to the entire federal government being secretly behind all this, 34 of the state legislatures would also have to be behind it.  So all of these people are still behind it, yet it\’s being held secret.  Forget anything else, just consider human nature, and tell me that is remotely possible.

Ok those of you still saying \”yes\” I want you to sit down and look in the mirror.  See that crazed look in your eyes?? Hear the irrational screech in your voice?? Notice the lack of friends behind you?? You sir, are a kook.  Please, stop trying to infest the rest of us with your strange irrational beliefs.
