Jerome Corsi, a scholarly contributor to WorldNetDaily and Human Events, was among the more compelling speakers. He began his speech with a rhetorical question: Why won’t Bush secure our borders? And he ended his presentation with the answer: Because he plans to abolish our borders anyway. And he plans to abolish the United States and in its place erect a North American Union composed of Canada, the United States and Mexico!

Our Harebrained Government

Hugh McInnish
At a conference in Washington a few days ago participants saw just how far our government has drifted away from the people it pretends to represent. I need to find a whole new lexicon to describe the scheme that was presented, but mind-boggling will do for now.

Jerome Corsi
Conspiracy theorists will be disappointed. They find sustenance in the unknown, the mystery only half solved. But here there is no mystery; all the incredible details can be read in clear, large type on the Internet, where the schemers have proudly posted them. There we can see in plain black and white just how harebrained our government is.

During the weekend of 22-24 September Phyllis Schlafly sponsored Eagle Council XXXV, the Super Bowl of conservatism. (Phyllis' latest book is The Supremacists: The Tyranny of Judges and How to Stop It.) The stars included Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, Pat Buchanan, Tom Tancredo, Minutemen founder Jim Gilchrist, Jerome Corsi, and many others.

Corsi proved his case with hard facts:

The Security and Prosperity Partnership is a group formed in March 2005 by President Bush and the leaders of Canada and Mexico. Under its aegis the plan includes the following elements:

Jeff Sessions
* A NAFTA Superhighway extending from the south of Mexico through the whole of the United States and into the north of Canada. The right-of-way for this corridor would have the width of three or four football fields, and have five lanes in each direction. In the median would be a pipeline, and a railroad. Construction and operation of this monstrosity, incredibily, would be vested in a Spanish concern. (The Spanish firm Grupo Ferrovial already has the concession to build what is apparently the Texas portion of the NAFTA Superhighway.)

* Travelers would be issued biometric ID cards allowing them to travel freely within North America.

* “Trusted Traders” would have free access to the whole continent, impeded only by a 15-second delay to have an electronic chip scanned.

* Foreign aircraft would have automatic access to our airspace, including our military airspace.

To implement these schemes a series of innocuous-sounding trilateral working groups have been set up and they are working apace. In fact they, without congressional authorization, have already signed treaty-like “working group agreements.” The apparent goal is to present the American people a fait accompli when it is too late for debate.

Corsi’s conclusion that Bush is set on abolishing our borders, and with it the United States, sounds outlandish, yet the evidence is there. And I have to agree with Corsi, since in an earlier newsletter I came to the same conclusion that he did.

Meanwhile the debate on illegal immigration continues. Thank goodness it has at least started. In introducing Senator Jeff Sessions Phyllis Schlafly said that he was the one in the Senate “who got it going.”

And she is so right. Sessions is by far the most outspoken critic of our present immigration policy. (And my choice for President. See here.) He explained that the original immigration bill was “fatally flawed,” that it could not be fixed. (And fortunately it did not pass.) He pointed out that 60 percent of the people in Nicaragua and 70 percent of those in Peru want to come to the United States. Obviously we cannot admit all.

Pat Buchanan
He recommends that we consider a point system similar to that used in Canada, whereby an applicant will be given so many points for speaking English, so many according to his education and skills, and so on. Only the most qualified, those who would strengthened the country would be allowed entrance. As it is now 60 percent of the illegals coming across the border have no high school diploma. This means, according to the Congressional Budget Office, that each of these illegals takes out of the economy $89,000 more than they contribute.

Pat Buchanan's recently-published book, State of Emergency has been hovering near the top of best-seller lists, and that made him one of the top attractions at the meeting. Phyllis Schlafly had to call for a pause in his book signing in order that he would have time to eat. Buchanan was the speaker Saturday, and this, combined with his reputation for unalloyed Americanism, gave him a rapturous audience.

“George Bush has not governed as a true conservative,” he said. "He is in intensive care and resting comfortably." He believes that Bush is in trouble because he is not seen as being competent. His handling of the Katrina disaster and the Harriet Meyers Supreme Court nomination were examples.

He believes that the war in Iraq is not going well. Sixty percent of the people in the country believe that it was a mistake. Even the Democrats who voted for it didn't believe in it. Bush had no concept of foreign policy. He had seldom traveled out of the country. Bush said we would rid the world of tyranny.

Buchanan did give Bush high marks on one point, that of his Supreme Court appointments. We now have four solid justices on the Court.

Tom Tancredo
Buchanan said that we have now at least 12 million illegal aliens in the country. And this is not immigration, it's an invasion. Where is all this heading. "Look at Paris," Buchanan said. We are allowing a fifth column to be established. And in our Southwest the illegals are founding a “second Mexico.” But the nation is awakened and amnesty is dead.

Was Buchanan going to run for president again? No, he said. He was relieved when his candidacy didn't result in electing Gore in 04, and he didn't want to risk that again.

If Jeff Sessions is our hope in the Senate for sane immigration reform, Tom Tancredo is our hope in the House. (See his book here.) We are in a clash of civilizations, he says, and the country is being pulled apart. He started his immigration reform caucus with 15 members, and because of his persistent agitation for reform it has grown to 104.

Nor is Tom Tancredo unmindful of the threat from Islam. In regard to the recent uproar concerning the Pope’s comments on Islam, and the demands for his apologies, he believes that the pope should not apologize, and has sent him a letter saying so.

Attending Eagle Council XXXV was good psychotherapy. Our government may be harebrained, but the speakers at the Eagle Council gave us reassurance that we have numerous sane counselors among us.
