\u201cThe ultimate goal of any White House policy ought to be a North American economic and political alliance similar in scope and ambition to the European Union,\u201d opined an Atlanta Journal-Constitution editorial on September 7, 2001. \u201cUnlike the varied landscapes and cultures of European Union members, the United States, Canada and Mexico already share a great deal in common, and language is not as great a barrier. President Bush, for example, is quite comfortable with the blended Mexican-Anglo culture forged in the border states of Texas, California and Arizona.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” Mexican President-elect Vicente Fox predicted a future in which people will move freely across the 2,100-mile border between Mexico and the United States by 2010. Baltimore Sun, July, 2000.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A 2005 Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) document, called “Building a North American Community,” asserts that George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin “committed their governments” to this goal when they met at Bush’s ranch and at Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005. The three adopted the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America” and assigned “working groups” to fill in the details. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was at this meeting, grandly called the North American Summit that President Bush referred to the volunteers guarding our Arizona border as “vigilantes”. <\/p>\n
