NEW YORK – A Soros-funded group arguing to replace the U.S.
passport with a North American passport appears ready to take up the mantle of
championing the concept of a European Union-style regional government to
supersede the sovereignty of the United States, Mexico and Canada, fulfilling
the dream of the late American University professor Robert Pastor.
The future of the U.S. lies in North
America, not in the United States as a sovereign nation, contends the New America Foundation, a Washington-based leftist think-tank with ties to
Jonathan Soros, son of famed leftist billionaire George Soros.
Appropriately named “New America,”
the foundation believes the U.S. passport should soon become obsolete and
replaced with a European Union-style passport issued for all citizens of the
U.S., Mexico and Canada. Citizens would be redefined by their regional identity
as “North Americans,” echoing President Obama’s claim in Spanish in
his Dec. 17, 2014, announcement of
his executive actions to re-establish diplomatic relations with Cuba, “Todos
Somos Americanos,” or, “We are all Americans.
“The United States, Canada and Mexico are bound by a shared economic, environmental, demographic and cultural destiny. How we move forward together is key to our success,” wrote André Martinez, an editor with New America and a professor at the Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University; and Daniel Kurtz-Phelan, a fellow at New America and a former adviser on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s policy planning staff, in an article titled “Why we need a North American Passport,” published by CNN.com.
“In recognition of our shared destiny, the three countries
should create a North American passport that would, over time, allow their
citizens to travel, work, invest, learn and innovate anywhere in North America.
Work, tourist and student visas are necessities in the modern world to regulate
the flow of people between sovereign states,” Martinez and Kurtz-Phelan
declared.
“In the North American context, much like within the
European Union, our economies and societies are far more integrated than our
immigration system recognizes – and a North American passport, much like the EU
passport, would align our laws with reality.”
The article authored by Martinez and Kurtz-Phelan provides
additional support for the argument reported by WND for the past decade that
globalists seeking to create a “North American Union” realized the EU stealth
model could be replicated in North America. It can be accomplished, they
believe, through establishing free-trade agreements such as NAFTA and
transforming them incrementally into a regional government.
In Europe, the European Coal and Steel Agreement –
signed as a treaty in Paris on April 18, 1951, and put into force on July 23,
1952 – evolved into the European Common market. The EC was created by the
Treaty of Rome March 25, 1957, and ultimately became the European Union, a
regional government.
“The inception of NAFTA marked an important step toward
leveraging these geographic realities for a shared North American success,”
Martinez and Kurtz-Phelan noted.
“NAFTA has been a boon to our growth and competitiveness.
Integrated production platforms, sometimes spanning all three countries, have
helped draw manufacturing back from competitors across the Pacific.”
They said, however, “the promise of NAFTA has fallen short
in a critical respect.”
While trade and investment have grown, “the barriers to
movement have remained too high for the people who help drive and stand to
benefit from that growth.”
“As evidenced by the recent political firestorm over
President Obama’s executive move to allow more undocumented workers to avoid
deportation, it would take farsighted and courageous political leadership in
all three countries to press for a North American passport,” Martinez and
Kurtz-Phelan stressed. “But the fact is that allowing North Americans to move
more effortlessly across the borders would help alleviate our contentious
domestic immigration battles.”
The
New America Foundation boasts millions of dollars in funding by a blue-chip list of leftist donors along with government
funding in the form of a seven-figure grant from the State Department and a
six-figure grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Prominent
among a list of nearly 150 different funding sources is Google Inc., reflecting the participation of Eric Schmidt, CEO of
Google, on the New American Foundation’s board of trustees.
Also
on the board is Jonathan Soros,
CEO of JS Capital Management LLC, a private investment firm, also credited on the
New American Foundation website as holding several board positions affiliated
with the George Soros Open Society Foundations.
The
president and CEO of the New American Foundation is Anne-Marie Slaughter, who previously served as the director of policy planning
in the State Department, where she worked for Hillary Clinton from January 2009
through February 2011.
Slaughter is the author of the 2005 book “A New World
Order,” in which she argued the structure of global governance is already in
place, through international organizations and agreements, broad networks of
economic markets, travel and information flow.
One
year ago, WND reported Robert Pastor,
a longtime proponent of North American integration, died at the age of 66 after
a three-year battle with cancer. He was a professor of international relations
and the director of the Center for North American Studies at American University
in Washington, D.C.

Global communists just keep it
coming at us. Soros and his cabal of international criminals want our land, our
money and our freedom. The NewStates Constitution is modeled after the USSR
with no rights, no jobs and large amounts of population reduction and poverty
for everybody, but the “ruling class”. Thank
a Democrat.
