The "Amero"?

Dear Leader has been busy, working on the creation of a North American version of the European Union. Bush's rejection of real immigration reform becomes more clear with this revelation. Why bother when everything's about to change, including the INS being subordinate to a North American Customs and Immigration Service?

The "Amero" would replace the Canadian dollar, the US dollar, and the Mexican peso.

Human Events Online (a conservative weekly) has links galore, including a joint statement from Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin.

Others are more able to determine the economic repercussions of such a plan, but I do know, as Jerome Corsi at HEL points out, that Bush would NOT have been re-elected had the red-staters known:
If President Bush had run openly in 2004 on the proposition that a prime objective of his second term was to form the North American Union and to supplant the dollar with the “Amero,” we doubt very much that President Bush would have carried Ohio, let alone half of the Red State majority he needed to win re-election. Pursuing any plan that would legalize the conservatively estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the United States could well spell election disaster for the Republican Party in 2006, especially for the House of Representative where every seat is up for grabs.

Good evening Texas Shiva.

I wanted to thank you for sending me the link to the article about the Amero. I have been tracking this story for a while, now; but the article to which you pointed was not one I had seen.

For some time, I have viewed the talk of a common currency as something like folklore among very conservative sorts, but it has obviously emerged from the "conspiracy theory" ranks. It seems to me that there is more than some legitimacy to the claim that this is essentially a "done deal" for some time in the future, and I say that because other critical elements of integrated economic, and particularly monetary, policy are sliding (rather quietly) into place.

That article was a good catch on your part, and I am grateful you provided it to me.


Now, the Dark Wraith has something else to rant like a conspiracy theorist about.

Thank you, Dark Wraith, for visiting. I don't know much about this (actually, this article was the first I'd heard about it).

I'm very interested to learn your views of the the economic implications of such a feat. I'm not an economist--or a political scientist or even much of a writer of much more than poetry. This blog is mostly (so far) my attempt to break my mind out of the corporate-America-borne apathy that has atrophied it and its critical thinking capabilities. But...I know from experience that you have a way of explaining things in such a way that even I can understand them. And I look forward to learning more about this topic.
