Here's a link - more useful because of the other links it provides.<BR/>http://www.infowars.com/articles/nwo/nau_globalists_to_formally_propose_us_canada_mexico_merger.htm or <BR/>http://tinyurl.com/2smcoz <BR/>if the long url gets mangled.<BR/>The site itself seems to be run by a conspiracy nut, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. I think we need to have our awareness raised. This is the only reason I've seen to explain why Bush was so in favor of this. <BR/>Idealists have this wonderful idea of a single world government...I think it is not possible. Just as we have separate states with separate laws instead of one single massive federal government (though we're moving closer to that every year), I think no one is going to be happy with a single world government. The EU gives us a preview of the massiveness of this sort of organization, and the lack of responsiveness to the individual. It's just another step toward world communism, imo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158917.post-42369310713395546992007-07-09T21:52:00.000-04:002007-07-09T21:52:00.000-04:00Suek,"Immigration reform" was an attempt to legali...Suek,<BR/><BR/>"Immigration reform" was an attempt to legalize those illegals who are already here and to find a way to bring more in - legally. Those who supported it did it for a variety of reasons: political and economic.<BR/><BR/>The "problem" is that illegals currently can't become citizens and vote Democrat. That's one problem. The second problem is that employers can't legally hire illegal aliens without risking fines. That's the second problem. The bill was designed to eliminate these problems.<BR/><BR/>Everything else is just eyewash.Moneyrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940253500799383224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158917.post-87665502769236437772007-07-09T13:45:00.000-04:002007-07-09T13:45:00.000-04:00I still have not had defined for me just exactly w...I still have not had defined for me just exactly what problems this bill was supposed to solve - or even what the problems are that we _need_ to solve.<BR/>The only one that is specific is the number of illegals that continues to flood across the border. What problems does _that_ cause? Senators keep talking about "bringing illegals out of the shadows"...what does that mean? My husband says: "we need to know who is in the country". Do we really? Then why not have a national ID card. Language? I happen to think that English should be the _official_ language of the US, and that was put into the bill - but apparently, as soon as it was, there was added a legalization of a policy by Clinton to the effect that if there was a need for translation for somebody, it should be provided - which negated the "official language" section.<BR/>You can't solve problems without knowing just what the problems are that you're trying to solve...I haven't seen a reasonable list yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
