The European template: plans for creating a North American Union are following the well established template successfully used to submerge the nations of Europe in the European Union.
In Europe, a major transnational superstate has emerged in the form of the European Union. That body now exercises nearly total control over each of its 27 member nations. More alarmingly, in our own hemisphere, political elites hope to use the European Union as a model for creating a North American Union.
Those in favor of the plan include notable leaders, such as former Mexican President Vicente Fox, who frequently urged an expansion of NAFTA into "something like the European Union." In July 2001, the Wall Street Journal heaped praise on Fox's recommendation and enthusiastically announced that it "supports his vision." Also in 2001, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution chimed in with its call for a "political alliance similar in scope and ambition to the European Union." In that same year, Dr. Robert Pastor of American University released Toward a North American Community: Lessons from the Old World for the New. A chapter labeled "Lesson from EU Experience" urged expansion of NAFTA into a duplicate of the European Union.
