SOLD! America II

Bonnie Alba

The magicians are busy keeping American eyes focused on sleight-of-hand tricks. Much in the media makes little sense. Divisive political games hold center stage which have nothing to do with the good of our country. The mainstream media is ignoring the biggest story of all, besides Islamic Terrorism. The Selling of America. Where is our outrage? Anger at our elite leaders? Where is Congress? Why are they not investigating the ongoing potential and future merger with Mexico and Canada?

The secretive Security and Prosperity Partnership with Canada and Mexico is moving right along. The first stage, a 10-lane super highway will cut a swath from the Mexico-Texas to the Oklahoma border with mexican trucks and rail containers traveling along it. In future, more super highways reaching all the way into Canada.

With the blessing of the Texas Department of Transportation, Cintra, a member of Spain's Grupo Ferrovial, will partner with Texas local developer, Zachry Construction Group, to begin construction of the "Trans-Texas Corridor" early next year. Translation: Over 550,000 acres required from Texas landowners.

In increments, we will transition into a North American Union with open borders which will someday include merged economies, one currency, and most probably, a melding of governments, much like the European Union. It is probable that this is why Pres. Bush, his administration, and Congress have not fought very hard to secure our borders.

Ever since the 90s' when I realized that foreigners were buying up our real estate, I have wondered why our state and federal governments allowed this taking of American soil. The America I once knew is all but gone in the wake of the advances in de-civilization long sought by the humanists, socialists, progressives and now the neo-global conservatives and liberals. That's progress? Our land no longer belongs to "we the people."

Do you remember when we bought products made by our own people? We were buying a piece of America, supporting our citizens and workers. Clothes fit better too.

For example: My husband complains every time he wants to buy another pair of Levis. Used to be, up until the late 90s, he could walk into any Levi-stocked store, pick up a pair in his size and never have to try them on. Aaah!! Now he must try them on 1) to see if they fit, one size can vary by two inches and 2) check the cut of the bias-seams, as now we can't be sure if the legs will hang straight or one leg may slant to the side.

In 2003, the LA Times reported: "Levi uses about 500 contractors to produce its apparel in 50 countries, including Mexico, China, and Bangladesh." A high percentage of our industrial and technological companies have moved to the greener pastures of cheaper labor.

It is evident that companies with their roots in the good old USofA hold no loyalty to American workers. Job security no longer exists; no more working and being loyal to one company for 30-40 years, retiring with a gold watch and pension. Those companies are long gone.

One major result is apparent. We have traded Quality for Quantity-Variety. We have also lost Quality jobs. When there was a big deal a few years ago about products "made in America," we should have paid more attention. Now go to any retailer and find anything made on our soil.

The elite economists have already decided our future without our imput. As the trade deficit deepens and more foreigners take on American jobs in manufacturing, service and technological industries, the only conclusion is that America as the land of the free is on the wane. America's and Canada's prosperity will decrease as the Mexican population's standard of living rises.

If we believe that all things are interconnected, then economics, capitalism, free trade (which no nation has), systems of governments, cultural mores and religions, laws, and standards of living are intertwined. If one element changes, the others will soon follow.

If this seemingly unstoppable global expansion continues, "we the people" must prepare our children for a much different world than the one we now live in. It means a lower standard of living and a lack of quality jobs. This could be the century the United States of America will fade into the background and become a blip on the screen of world history.

"We the people" must make up our minds — fight to keep our America or cede to the elitists with their grandiose plans for the world.

[Write your local, state and federal representatives and let them know You are "the people."]
