Look, I’m no fan of NAFTA, but what world do these people live in?

Author Jerome Corsi filed a Freedom of Information Act request yesterday asking for full disclosure of the activities of an office implementing a trilateral agreement with Mexico and Canada that apparently could lead to a North American union, despite having no authorization from Congress.

As WorldNetDaily reported, the White House has established working groups, under the North American Free Trade Agreement office in the Department of Commerce, to implement the Security and Prosperity Partnership, or SPP, signed by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in Waco, Texas, March 23, 2005.

Corsi specifically has requested the partnership’s membership lists, constitutive documents, meeting minutes, meeting agendas and meeting schedules as well as all findings, reports, presentations or memoranda.

…

Corsi believes President Bush effectively agreed to erase U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada when he signed the SPP.

…

“This is all being done by the executive branch below the radar,” Corsi told WND. “If President Bush had told the American people in the 2004 presidential campaign that his goal was to create a North American union, he would not have carried a single red state.”

The president, Corsi maintains, has charged the bureaucracy to form a North American union “through executive fiat … without ever disclosing his plans directly to the American people or to Congress.”

Attorney Robert A. McGuire, who filed the request on Corsi’s behalf and is preparing further requests, says if the president “is creating a new North American union government without the full and complete knowledge of the American people, we are facing a severe constitutional crisis.”

The purpose of the FOIA, he said, is to get the “full facts exposed in the light of day, available for the American people and for Congress to examine and decide.”

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., is demanding the Bush administration fully disclose the activities of the SPP office.

Tancredo wants to know the membership of the SPP groups along with their various trilateral memoranda of understanding and other agreements reached with counterparts in Mexico and Canada.

Many SPP working groups appear to be working toward achieving specific objectives as defined by a May 2005 Council on Foreign Relations task force report, which presented a blueprint for expanding the SPP agreement into a North American union that would merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico into a new governmental form.
