I appreciated the clarity with which the author of this speech spoke about the heart of the illegal immigrant problem. A “purist” Libertarian would open the borders and invite one and all into the U.S. as long as they contributed to society and ecomony and didn’t require a handout. This speech adds a few more requirements to what makes an immigrant a true American.

Okay, now I’m scared. My bullshit meter went into the red when I first heard mention about President Bush’s attempt to create a North American Union (NAU), which would merge the United States with Canada and Mexico. I thought, “you gotta be kidding.”

Then I did a little research, and I’ll share with you some links to get you started on your own journey of disbelief. You will gain a better understanding of why Mr. Bush is so adamant about granting “a path to citizenship” for illegal aliens, even though the vast majority of his own constituents oppose it. And some of his other insane actions are beginning to make more sense when placed in context of his new North American Union.

For starters, read these two brief articles:

Author and researcher Jerome Corsi is engaged in ongoing investigative reporting regarding the emerging NAU. Listen to the interview where he discusses his research (http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/Interview_Corsi.html) and then check out these government Web sites if you wonder if this is for real:

• Security and Prosperity Partnership (U.S. Dept. of Commerce) at http://www.spp.gov (have a look at EACH link in the site’s nav panel to learn who are the learders and the working groups behind this)
• NASCO Corridor, the highway to unite us at http://www.nascocorridor.com

UN bureaucrats think rich nations like America ought to give more money to poor nations- a lot more- simply because we’re rich. Never mind the billions of foreign aid tax dollars we send overseas every year; never mind the billions donated to overseas charities by Americans, the most charitable people on earth. The UN mindset blames the western world for poverty everywhere, assuming that our relative wealth must have come at the expense of the third world. The poor countries themselves are never deemed responsible for their own predicaments, despite their often corrupt governments, lack of property rights, and hostility toward wealth-producing capitalism. Somehow, it’s always our fault. So the UN holds conferences to talk about how we should pay to make things right, and the idea of a UN tax naturally arises.

From Ron Paul’s “Texas Straight Talk” column: Why is foreign aid so bad? Isn’t it our obligation to help those less fortunate? What is not mentioned by proponents of foreign aid is that it very seldom gets to those who need it most. Foreign aid is the transfer of US dollars from the treasury of the United States to the governments of foreign countries. It is money that goes to help foreign elites, who in turn spend much of it on contracts with US corporations. This means US tax dollars ultimately go to well-connected US corporations operating overseas.

Foreign aid distorts foreign economies and props up bad governments. It breeds resentment among citizens of foreign countries, who see the United States as keeping oppressive governments in power. Also, it is important to remember that forced charity is not charity at all. While I believe strongly in the moral value of helping the less fortunate, charity must come voluntarily from the heart, not under threat from the IRS.
