I have to agree with Ernest and ag on this, and (unfortunately) commend the assortment of nasty politicians in opposition to this amendment. There is really no excuse for signing an agreement and then making it illegal for us to keep our side of the bargain, nor does it seem particularly useful for us to be banning the activity of Mexican truckers. After all, if border agents are doing their jobs, there shouldn't be anything worth worrying about in those trucks in the first place.

Keep in mind I'm not aiming for full parity. Something between PR and MS in terms of income/standards of living. Aiming for full parity would be impossible That said part of my plan would involve dropping trade barriers against Mexico.

One word: EU. You must be a big fan of it (I am, actually).


The NAU would be much worse because of moe corporatist control.

Now, tell us how corporations are running the show in the EU with a straight face.

He's sort of, kinda, right.. but only if include Corporations in wider term of "special interests" (Big Farmers and Agri-industries being an obvious example) - of course they don't run the show, but have far more influence than usually imagined. Sort of.

Still doesn't mean he's not a complete nutjob though.

Well, they certainly exist, but to a much lesser extent than in the US (partially because the EU is a weaker union, of course). However, they also exist and are powerful in the constituent nations of the EU, so they aren't an argument against EU (or NAU) consolidation.

You think the EU is not run by corporations?  Talk about naive.  The only things not run by corporations are places like North Korea, Cuba, Burma.

When the only people arguing against me are a neo-Nazi and an anarcho-syndicalist, I know I'm right.
