    I agree, while they are at it, move the UN to another country.
    I'll second that...

    Well I would agree with that, but what does the top 10% having 90% of the wealth have anything to do with government colluding with corporations for their own benefit?

    I would like to third that request.

    The NAU sucks, anyone who supports it doesn't know their history. What will happen to America is simple: It will no longer be America. It will be a third world country with a third world population.

    Yeah, you're right. The corporations will be more efficient, at raping the economy and its people. The resources will be used optimally, because no one else will control it but the corporations, and the governments. God that really sounds like freedom!

    Umm...planet Earth is 71% water. All you have to do is take water from lakes, oceans, and underground caves to get supplies. Why would we be fighting over it?

    Wow, Mexico and America can share the debt! Did you know that the same people responsible for America's debt are the ones who propose this plan? We'll be one big happy third world family.

    Mexico is already "integrated", and language isn't a barrier. Hell, banks here in the U.S. cater to illegals. They even let them open bank accounts, and they can get in hospitals with no money. The Fast Food industry also loves hiring them, and you never see the government doing a damn thing about it.

    Let me think about that one..........................umm.........HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What you have to ask here is "At what Cost?" Digging for oil in the ocean is not same as getting it from Middle East.
    Mexicans are paid to do the job. When more supply of them are there, demand goes down. Then hourly wage will be pushed down. Some time to the point of SLAVE WAGEs like in China.

    Conspiracy nuts always believe it's others who need to wake up. Meanwhile, Eurabia goes on blindly beneath your nose while you root and cheer for those responsible.

    We have a lot of Mexicans where I live. Always have. Nice, friendly and respectable people. My best friend is Mexican, and we have one (so far) in the family.

    You should spend more time worrying about what's taught in those mosques over there and your own immigration problem.

    this is backwards...this is why the US govt. implemented a minimum wage...so as the supply goes up, and less jobs are available, then people are not fired...what happens is the unemployment rate goes up. The unemployment rate fluctuates depending on how strong the US economy is going...right now, it is one the of the strongest ever, and therefore the unemployment rate is really low....

    Price might go down with a higher supply, but generally demand increases with an increase in supply.

    Do you speak English or are you using google translator?

    How would the unemployment rate go up without people getting fired? :)

    supply of working individuals goes up while demand does not increase. Anytime that supply is greater than demand will always equal unemployment. If the supply side keeps growing without the demand side also growing, unemployment goes up.

    I agree, I think it was just the bold fonts that were making you go crazy.

    true...which is why many illegals don't pay taxes...companies can pay them in cash for less than what they pay US citizens...that doesn't mean companies are firing people though...that would be to risky.

    Look at history. We had Feudal System, Kings and War lords running parts of the country. I am not a "SKY IS FALLING GUY". Maybe this time country is meaningless...WORLD IS A BIGGER PIE.

    Most Mexicans would love to be able to work for corporate America.

    Corporate America provides an excellent standard of living for it's employees -- which is something that socialist Mexico cannot manage to accomplish.

    But, it's not going to happen. The U.S. will not accept Mexico or Canada into the Union.

    No. There is no need for organizations, they levy taxes and fees to keep running eventually, and then end up costing more than they are worth. Abolish all world trade organizations and declare the entire world free-trade. That way all nations trade freely and all nations benefit from the increased imports and exports. Exclude anyone who doesn't follow the system. Consumer demand and consumption will always win in this situation, efficiency and overall income will increase, and no limits means no pricing fears. The governments job should be to keep consumer and producer information symmetrical, asymmetric information is the only thing that could really go wrong.

    It always has made me laugh that the world would need a "free trade" organization or a "free trade" treaty.

    When you think about it from a purely logical point of view, if you have an organization or a treaty you are almost always acting against "free" trade.

    "Free trade" would be trade with no interference from those damned government organizations.
