Rep. Tancredo: Bush Wants To Merge U.S. With Mexico and Canada

TancredoRep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO), one of the leading voices on immigration for the right, claims President George W. Bush is plotting to merge the U.S. with Mexico and Canada. An excerpt from WorldNetDaily:

Tancredo lashed out at the White House’s lack of action in securing U.S. borders, and said efforts to merge the U.S. with both Mexico and Canada is not a fantasy.

“I know this is dramatic — or maybe somebody would say overly dramatic — but I’m telling you, that everything I see leads me to believe that this whole idea of the North American Union, it’s not something that just is written about by right-wing fringe kooks. It is something in the head of the president of the United States, the president of Mexico, I think the prime minister of Canada buys into it.

You might think the right would immediately repudiate this kind of conspiracy theory. You’d be wrong. The National Review’s Andy McCarthy came to Tancredo’s defense:

This is not a fringe. It’s a wave. It’s fine to disagree with Rep. Trancredo; it’s wrong to treat him like a lunatic when he is anything but.

More McCarthy:

[I]t’s not unreasonable for people to look at Bush’s immigration policies and worry that he is insufficiently alert to the internationalist pressures (what John Fonte calls “transnational progressivism”) vigorously challenging the traditional understanding of sovereignty on many fronts.

Fox’s Neil Cavuto recently said Tancredo “owns” the issue of immigration predicted that “if he were to run for president, he just might well be president.”

Of course those at Think Progress believe that Tancredo is a racist.. (1 image)

I thought that a union of Canada, Mexico and the US was the ultimate objective that NAFTA was a first step toward.

Actually, I thought that the intent was to include most of the Central American banana republics as well. After all, the southern border of Panama is much shorter and more defensible that the US-Mexican border.

Population-wise, Mexico through Panama are about 100 million or so, compared with about 300 million for the US, so it is not really overwhelming.

Indeed...she sounded pretty uncomfortable about being merged with the US. Can't say as I blame her.

I’ve read about the NAU previously, but it never fails to jolt me when it’s presented by someone new. IMHO, there is no issue more important that the flood of illegals into America. In one swoop it destroys our sovereignty, collapses our middle class, raises our taxes and changes the demographics of the nation. Nothing save a full military invasion by a foreign nation is capable of causing this amount of damage. And Bush welcomes it. What I wouldn't do for 537 Lee Harvey Oswalds :)

Gorgeous George -- Everyone's Loco for the Latino Bush They Call 'P'

http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/story?oid=oid%3A78217

HOME: AUGUST 11, 2000: NEWS

BY RUSSELL CONTRERAS

A Latino voter registration drive in Aurora, Ill., last month was nothing to write home about -- until George P. Bush mamboed into town and livened things up a bit. As with all the cities he's visited to promote Uncle George W. for president, the son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and his Mexican-born wife, Columba, offered the crowd his much-practiced stump speech, filled with fluffy, feel-good rhetoric. "If we don't register and don't vote, national leaders will not be aware of our point of view," the 24-year heir to the Bush dynasty told the crowd of cheering high school students. After the talk, young doe-eyed Hispanic females raced to take photos with the Bush nephew, the one People magazine added to its list of 100 most eligible bachelors. Reporters crowded around the sports-handsome Bush and tossed out some puff questions, while photographers focused their cameras on the guy some GOP boosters call the "Ricky Martin of politics."

...

Ten years before his Rice graduation, George P. and the other grandchildren of the elder George Bush made their first mark on the national scene. Bush, in a presidential race against Democrat Michael Dukakis, was yearning to show off the grandkids to President Ronald Reagan, arriving for the GOP convention in New Orleans. Unaware of the media microphones picking up his comments, Bush pointed the family out to Reagan as he said, "That's Jebby's kids from Florida, the little brown ones."

Here's a few things:

1) George P. Bush might be a hunkalicious young Republican, but he still seems a bit creepy. So TSG wasn't too surprised to learn that "P" was involved in a troubling 1994 incident described in this Metro-Dade Police Department report. On December 31, 1994, Bush showed up at 4 AM at the Miami home of a former girlfriend. He proceeded to break into the house via the woman's bedroom window, and then began arguing with his ex's father. Bush, then a Rice University student, soon fled the scene. But he returned 20 minutes later to drive his Ford Explorer across the home's front lawn, leaving wide swaths of burned grass in his wake. Young Bush avoided arrest when the victims declined to press charges. (3 pages)

2) You'd think that 16 years after Julius and Ethel

Rosenberg were executed, trial judge Irving Kaufman might give it a rest. But as this FBI memo shows, the jurist was so pissed that someone might actually exercise their free speech rights, he wanted the bureau and Attorney General sicced on them (what balls were hidden under that black robe!). Also, considering that the Rosenbergs were electrocuted, could the play's producer have a better surname? (1 page)

3) And here's another exclusive for you: JFK loved chowder! Imagine that. (2 pages)
