Congress Debates North American Union

This is something that has flown somewhat under the radar, but it is a big potential problem. There have been some closed meetings between Bush, the Canadian government, and the Mexican government. We don't really know what was discussed, but there is suspicion that talks of a North American Union have begun. This would be very bad for America. Fortunately, it looks like Congress is standing up for America for a change.

Both the House and Senate have taken steps to prevent Mexican trucking companies free access to American highways, stopping that piece of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP). WorldNetDaily reports on the efforts to stop the SPP, which is part of the NAFTA treaty that was passed in the 1990s. Measures in both houses of Congress have been passed with broad bipartisan support, which is great, but this is still something that Americans need to be aware of as it gets debated in Congress.

I think the potential problems in creating a North American Union are fairly obvious, especially in regard to Mexico. Hopefully Congress will act accordingly, but we all know their track record, so we have to pay attention.

There's my two cents.
