an advanced industrial and manufacturing base that has room for major growth, they just needed the cheap legal labor to work it.
and at the same time be competitive with countries like China both on an economic and manpower scale
I could fill up pages with this stuff
I have an interesting link for you realrepublican.
Are you a real republican?
Cheers
Like what?
The report talks about creating a common security permiter. That makes sense. It talks about the mexican and canadian government sharing information about people crossing the border with the US government, and vice versa, which makes sense.
Or the west could just go to war with them, and wreck their infrastructure.
And while americans are laughing at how china 'can only make cheap copies' of their cars and guns, the chinese just revealed that they've just made a tremendous breakthrough in genetic engineering and cancer therapy. Now the americans are the ones who get to copy the chinese. The US, infact, has moratorium on all clinical trials of genetic therapies, whereas china is rapidly moving forward. Sure, they'll be driving cheap chinese copies of fords and chryslers, but they'll be driving them thru 'the outer province' once known as "amariga".

For whom does it make sense for
Even Lou Dobb mentioned that we are fighting a war on Terror and we can't even seem to keep our own borders safe, so why the heck should we create any new ones now.
Or may be we should just ask the Canadians and Mexicans if they wouldn’t first mind integrating/degrading into the Borg completely?
China is a desensitized Leninist country - the people in general are much more stupid and any American.
You miss the point, the report calls for stronger border patrol, and creating a common security perimter, such that jihadi can't get on the continent, let alone specifically the United States.
Lets not go too far off topic with this tho. What are the problems with the linked report?

I do not like the idea of one nations military spying on the other nations people.
If you were to try and start a North American currency and then a World currency,
The report talks about havign it set up so that when someone enters mexico and is on a US terror watch list, the US gets notified, and if they're on a mexican or canadian watch list, the US notifies them, and lets them know when they are leaving the country, and all that jazz. It doesn't provide for federalies to patrol new orleans, or mounties to have listening posts in idaho, or anything like that.
