According to Steve Elliot from grassfire.org (an organizatiopn created for the purpose of monitoring and supporting border security), Bush is pushing for a "North American Merger" with Canada and Mexico. This according to Bush, is for the purpose of securing our borders.

Lets run with this idea for a minute. IF we did merge in order to protect our borders who then would run this new North American country? Are we opening ourselves up for foreign hands running this nation? Will we rotate Presidents from the three countries or will we have a joint presidency that can't agree on anything?

For sure we wouldn't have illegal aliens from Mexico anymore because they would all become citizens and have free reign to go where ever they want in this new nation. Maybe the overcrowded Mexican country would pass right through America and find themselves in the vast expanse of our Canadian neighbors with their free health care.

What about a united North American Country that still uses boundries? Doesn't sound like much of a change so why do it? Would this merger be financially sound or would we be taking on more than we could chew? I say "we" because this writer feels that America would be the one handling the shift and taking on the responsibility of these two nations. Would this be an acquisition like unto adding new states or protectorates to America. Not enough information is coming forth on this important topic.

The meeting in Canada has been down played and is now being called the "Jellybean Summit". Steve Elliot has recommended reading the book "The Late Great USA" by Jerome Corsi to get better acquainted with the proposal that is being made. As for me, I don't think we, as a nation, are at a point in our development to handle such a large task.
