Where's the transparency in the 'Security' and 'Prosperity' Partnership?

On Aug. 20 and 21, the leaders of Mexico, Canada and the United States will meet in Montebello, Que., to discuss the so-called Security and Prosperity Partnership. It provides a vision for North American integration that most Canadians, Americans and Mexicans would reject.

Immigrants as America's Undocumented Saving Grace

There are no such things as illegal immigrants or illegal aliens. There are immigrants. Some are documented. Some are not. Both contribute.

Over the past decade, the State Department estimates that the number of Americans living in Mexico has soared from 200,000 to 1 million (or one-quarter of all U.S. expatriates). Remittances from the United States to Mexico have risen dramatically, from $9 billion to $14.5 billion in just two years.
