What is the Security and Prosperity Partnership(SPP)?
The SPP is a “trilateral effort to increase security and enhance prosperity among the United States, Canada and Mexico through greater cooperation and information sharing.” (spp.gov) The SPP was initiatiated without Congressional approval by President Bush in 2005. Grassfire dealt extensively with the SPP in our booklet, “The Truth about the Illegal Invasion.” We noted that President Bush, Mexico’s Fox and Canada’s Martin issued a joint statement that each of the countries are “mutually dependent and complementary” and stated the SPPs goal as helping: “Consolidate our action into a North American framework to confront security and economic challenges, and promote the full potential of our people, addressing disparities and increasing opportunities for all.” Rep. Ron Paul calls the SPP “an unholy alliance of foreign consortiums and officials from several governments.” Does the SPP launch the “North American Community” or “Union”? The SPP sets out to create a “North American framework.”
