A growing number of Americans have already been alerted about plans to create a North American Union (NAU), merging the United States, Mexico, and Canada. While news of this monstrous betrayal has yet to reach most fellow citizens, widespread awareness about the enormous harm caused by NAFTA already exists. Closed factories, lost jobs, more open borders, even judicial panels overruling U.S. court decisions are NAFTA's legacy. Now, the newly crafted NAU, rightly dubbed "NAFTA Plus," is being steered toward enactment by some of the very same people who gave us NAFTA in the first place.

The impetus for U.S. entry into NAFTA began during the Reagan administration (1981-1989) when determined internationalist George W. Shultz served as secretary of state. In the late 1980s, with Shultz's eager concurrence, Mr. Reagan and his Canadian counterpart signed a Canada-U.S. free-trade agreement. To serve as his negotiator for trade matters, President George H.W. Bush named Carla A. Hills U.S. trade representative. In that post, she became the primary overseer and promoter of the NAFTA pact. Ms. Hills is a proud member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
