U.S. taxpayers soon could be paying for, among other things, improvements to Mexico's infrastructure, according to documents revealed by Judicial Watch.

The public interest organization that investigates and prosecutes government corruption said it obtained the documentation from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under the Freedom of Information Act regarding the agency's "involvement with the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America."

The SPP, according to its own description, "was launched in March of 2005 as a trilateral effort to increase security and enhance prosperity among the United States, Canada and Mexico through greater cooperation and information sharing."

While federal officials up to and including the White House say the plan doesn't and won't infringe on U.S. sovereignty, because it is just a dialogue among the nations, documents uncovered by WND show otherwise.

For example, a State Department cable released to WND shows Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez has been pressing to implement major trilateral initiatives to help "capture the vision of North American integration."

Judicial Watch said among the documents it obtained was a 10-page partnership "Work Plan for the Financial Services Working Group," which details 24 specific "deliverables" by officials from the U.S. Treasury, Finance Canada, BANXICO, the Federal Research Board-Atlanta, and regulatory agencies.

"The deliverables include 'cross-border' cooperation in the areas of car insurance, Social Security totalization for Mexico, banking, and the Federal Reserve's 'Directo a Mexico' remittance program," Judicial Watch said.

As WND also has reported, the "totalization" program that earlier was revealed by the TREA Senior Citizens League shows the plan would allow any Mexican worker who has as little as 18 months of employment history in the United States to end up qualifying for Social Security retirement benefits, a cost that quickly could reach into the billions.

"Among the specific deliverables outlined in the 'work plan' is a taxpayer-supported program to improve Mexico's infrastructure: 'Improve North America's competitiveness by enhancing Mexico's competitive position through the establishment of a grant fund for development with U.S. and Canadian resources to finance the development of physical infrastructure in Mexico.' The objective has a timeline for completion of 6-18 months," Judicial Watch said.

"If U.S. tax dollars are going to be used to fund Mexico's economic development, the American people ought to know about it," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "Judicial Watch remains committed to ensuring that this process is open and transparent."

Judicial Watch said the records also include planning documents and notes summarizing a SPP "technical meeting" held in Ottawa from Jan. 31-Feb. 1, 2006 and titled, "Enhancing Preparedness Plans and Mutual Assistance for Pandemic Influenza and Other Emerging Public Health Threats in North America." The meeting did not include representatives from Mexico – a fact the summary notes acknowledge and suggest will "require contacts at the national level first."

The documents also identify HHS personnel assigned to various SPP working groups. The designated working groups include: communications, legal, foreign nationals, epidemiology, and travel and border issues.

"These documents are of particular interest given the recent scandal of the tuberculosis-infected American who recently traveled over the U.S.-Canadian border unimpeded by border authorities," Judicial Watch said.

About a dozen state legislatures already have worked on proposals that would demand the United States withdraw from any participation in the SPP, and in Idaho, lawmakers already have approved the plan.

Among other states where the issue has been discussed in statehouses are Arizona, Illinois, Georgia, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington.

The Idaho plan noted that "actions taken by the SPP to coordinate border security by eliminating obstacles to migration between Mexico and United States actually makes the United States-Mexico border less secure and more vulnerable to possible terrorist activities, and Mexico is the primary source of illegal immigrants, illegal drug entry and illegal human smuggling into the United States."
 
Let Mexico feast on the money of immigrating American corporations, leaving the US for a cheaper workforce. Mexico can fix its own bridges if it decides it wants to. It all comes down to priorities. America is hemmoraging money. We're bleeding out. I'd rather it bought more fighter planes.
 
Sen. Cornyn a fear or so ago put his name on legislation which would do just exactly as described here. It was drafted by one of his staffers with input from some egghead from the CFR. It was sold to Cornyn as a way to help US companies moving goods and services in Mexico. When it was point out to Cornyn the legislation was exactly as the CRF described he suddenly had a fit of principal and withdrew his support for the legislation.

So it shows up again in another venue. These people will not stop their movement toward a north american union.
 
Corporate America and our government leaders cannot rest until the American worker/taxpayer comes down to the level of the third world, not sure if through ignorance or greed but the end result will be the same. Please no stories of it's always been this way because it has not, we are on the wrong path.
 
Bear in mind that rich people's allegiance is not to the US, it's to their money. And if you had as much money as they have, that's where your allegiance would be, too. Americans who work for a living see America as the place where they have a good future and as the guarantor of a decent life for their children, but rich people see their money in those roles. As workers would go to some lengths (like putting on uniforms and fighting in wars) to protect and advance their country, the rich people go to great lengths to protect and advance their money. As someone once said, "Wherever your treasure is, that's where your heart will be also."
 
This is no more or less egregious than any other foreign aid package. Put the word "Mexico" in any news item and certain people will always have veins start throbbing in their foreheads. :rolleyes:
 
I agree 100% with lightingjoes comments. But at the same time, the only way to slow illegals long-term is to bring Mexico up to a standard that takes away their incentive. Of course industries in the US aren't likely to do anything that would slow a cheap source of labor. It'll be taxpayers who pony up to solve the problem the same way we pony up to pay ransom to corporations every day.

Not only flying in the face of economics, but Marxist besides!

We should of went to Mexico instead of Iraq, taken out all the communist drug cartels, and Coyotes and it would of only cost 100 billion and we could of taken their oil, and people would be rushing back there to help rebuild the infrastructure their funded by the US. But just giving the enemy more money, they will just pocket it and rebuild nothing. That verifies the North American union is on track, and we are going to rebuild their roads so they can come take the American truckers lively hood and more US jobs.:mad:
