The North American Union, which would replace the United States, has only been a theory wrapped in a veil of secrecy – up until now. The Bush administration has been denying creating such a plan for a number of years.

Work on the super-state started in March 2005 when the American president George Bush, the Canadian premier Paul Martin and the Mexican president Vincent Fox.

They agreed that they will implement the North American Union by 2010, and sign the SPP (Security and Prosperity Partnership) between the three states.

The plan, which was just another conspiracy theory, has surfaced, and those that guarded the secret, did not explain their reasons for doing so. The North American Union, or super-state as some call it, has become a topic in congress.

Bush administration acted in secrecy

The Bush administration presented the advancement of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement).

NAFTA, along with the European Union, are the most significant continental integrations in the world. NAFTA has been operating since 1994, and is comprised of the USA, Canada and Mexico.

The aim of the integration is the creation of the largest zone of free trade in the world that should encompass the whole western hemisphere. Members of NAFTA advocate for the cancellation of import taxes and all restrictions in the flow of capital and services, the synchronization of the process of lawmaking, as well as ecological standards and the protection of intellectual property.

With membership in the integrations, Canada and Mexico would gain access to the American market, and companies from the USA would gain freedom in their operations.

A super-highway for the super-state

The plan on implementing the North American Union also included the construction of a super-highway that would connect Canada, the USA and Mexico. The only person that was against the plan was Ron Paul, a candidate that was thrown out of the presidential race. In March 2006, another meeting was held in Mexico, and in 2007 a meeting was held in Canada. More concrete aims and tasks were agreed upon, that would lead to an eventual union.

Super-state with total control over its citizens

The three nations worked hard to implement a great deal of trade as a part of the NAFTA.

The amount of population and the size of the land that the super-state would control just go to show how powerful this new state would be.

Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia as far as area is concerned, and it has a population of 32 million people. It is a country with natural beauty and is one of the leading nations as far as standard of living is concerned.

There are 109 million people currently living in Mexico, and that is the 11^th nation in the world as far as population size is concerned. With a land area of 2 million square kilometres, Mexico is the fifth largest state in size in North America, and fourteenth in the world, whilst there are 300 million people living in the United States.

Everything that is secret provokes a certain fear, and the new super-state is no exception. There have been speculations that the North American Union would function on the basis of absolutist rule, with total control over the population.

Americans are scared of Mexican immigrants

A big question is, how happy will the citizens of the United States be with the removal of borders between the USA, Canada and Mexico. The citizens of all three nations will be able to travel freely between the three nations and stay there as long as they like, because they would all be citizens of the same super-state.

Of course, Americans are afraid of Mexican immigrants, who would no longer be immigrants but legal citizens with all rights.
