Immigration excuse for NAU

For all the justified concern over immigration, it doesn’t seem people really understand the real dynamics behind the issue.

In short, its roots are not in nationalism so much as they are in internationalism. That is to say immigration is just a means to achieve internationalism. That term refers to a to a global economic and political collective, or as it’s euphemistically called, "globalism."

You see, the immigration problem is simply an excuse for integrative legislation like NAFTA, which leads to a security and prosperity partnership. This winds up a North American Union, which is basically a single borderless entity, one identical to that of the European Union.

In a 2000 address, then-Mexican President Fox told a Californian audience that his government would "use all our persuasion and talent to bring together the U.S., Canadian and Mexican governments so that in five or 10 years, the border is totally open to the free movement of workers."

And again, in 2002, he said, "Eventually, our long-range objective is to establish with the U.S., but also with Canada, our other regional partner, an ensemble of connections and institutions similar to those created by the European Union."

I think it reflected reality that the EU was described as, "the new European Soviet," since there’s about as much economic and political independence in Europe today as there was in the old USSR. And I’m afraid the NAU won’t be any different.

The creation of such unions themselves isn’t the end goal, but merely a step in the long process of creating a supra-national government. It’s much easier to merge three or four blocks of formerly autonomous nations than hundreds one at a time.

So it’s far from just being about immigration.

City needs rules on roaming cats

I totally agree with Frank Tavolaro’s letter of June 25 regarding the roaming cat situation in Oneonta.

My backyard is fenced and a local cat has been making its way in, causing a horrific smell in our backyard. I cannot leave my furniture outside, as it has left its mark on it!

I have dogs and can’t let them roam; why should cats? It is time for some new city ordinances!

Fence them in, tie them up or keep them inside! But please keep your cats out of people’s yards! I am so glad I am not the only one angered by this. Thanks, Frank!
