Shadow agency seeks to open borders
SPP organizing a merger between Mexico, Canada and the US

There have been reports by an internet daily news source that the Bush
|

administration is clandestinely organizing an alliance between Mexico, Canada and the United States with the intention of forming a free trade and travel zone similar to the European Community. The report, posted on the WorldNetDaily website says that diplomats and important business leaders have been meeting in secret to forge an administrative merger between the three countries. The merger is expected to include free travel and trade, and it is reported that a frequent traveler pass has already been agreed on between the nations.
The plan was uncovered by WND columnist and author Jerome R. Corsi who requested information under the Freedom of Information

Act about Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America or SPP. Corsi said he had received about 1,000 pages relating to the organization.
"There are hundreds of trilateral meetings and agreements referenced in the documents we have, but most of the substantive documents appear to have been intentionally withheld," Corsi said. "In the next few days, our lawyers will be pressing for an honest FOIA document disclosure by the Bush administration."
"The documents [that were obtained] clearly reveal that SPP, working within the

U.S. Department of Commerce, is far advanced in putting together a new regional infrastructure, creating a 'shadow' trilateral bureaucracy with Mexico and Canada that is aggressively rewriting a wide range of U.S. administrative law, all without congressional oversight or public disclosure," Corsi said.
"The Bush administration is trying to create the infrastructure of a new regional North American government in stealth fashion, under the radar and out of public view," Corsi claims. "Where is Congress, asleep at the wheel?"
The SPP organizational chart Corsi obtained shows 13 working groups covering a wide range of public policy issues, including Manufactured Goods; Energy, Food & Agriculture; Rules of Origin' Health; E-Commerce; Transportation; Environment; Financial Services; Business Facilitation; External Threats to North America; Streamlined & Secured Shared Borders; and Prevention/Response within North America.
U.S. administrative-branch officers participating in these working groups are drawn from the U.S. departments of State, Homeland Security, Commerce, Treasury, Agriculture, Transportation, Energy, Health and Human Services, and the office of the U.S. Trade Representative.
The released documents affirm that counterparts from official governmental agencies in Mexico and Canada are combined with the U.S. administrative branch

to form new trilateral "working groups" that actively rewrite U.S. administrative law to "harmonize" or "integrate" with administrative law in Mexico and Canada.
"What we have here amounts to an administrative coup d'etat," Corsi told WND. "Where does the Bush administration get the congressional authorization to invite two foreign nations to the table to rewrite U.S. law?"
The WND report said the release of the documents are raising more suspicions about plans for the future integration of the U.S., Canada and Mexico, a high-level, top-secret meeting of the North American Forum took place this month in Banff, Canada - with topics ranging from "A Vision for North America," "Opportunities for Security Cooperation" and "Demographic and Social Dimensions of North American Integration."
The event was organized by the Canadian Council of Chief Executives and the Canada West Foundation, an Alberta think-tank that promotes closer economic integration with the United States.
The Canadian event is just the latest of a series of meetings, policy papers and directives that have citizens, officials and members of the media wondering whether these efforts represent some sort of coordinated effort to implement a "merger" some have characterized as "NAFTA on steroids."
Nevertheless, opposition is mounting. And it's not just coming from the tinfoil hat brigade.
Perhaps the most blistering criticism came earlier this summer from Lou Dobbs of CNN - a frequent critic of President Bush's immigration policies.
"A regional prosperity and security program?" Dobbs asked rhetorically in a recent cablecast. "This is absolute ignorance. And the fact that we are - we reported this, we should point out, when it was signed. But, as we watch this thing progress, these working groups are continuing. They're intensifying. What in the world are these people thinking about? You know, I was asked the other day about whether or not I really thought the American people had the stomach to stand up and stop this nonsense, this direction from a group of elites, an absolute contravention of our law, of our Constitution, every national value. And I hope, I pray that I'm right when I said yes. But this is - I mean, this is beyond belief."
