Nothing against Canada but this would open the door to the same thing with Mexico. Once that happens the American middle class takes it on the chin again.
I don't see why there's any obligation to include Mexico.
I was just reading a thread about Russia hypothetically joining the EU and I got this idea. As an American I would support a political/economic union between the United States and Canada that allows for free trade and free movement for citizens of the two countries. We could call this the North American Union (NAMU). Americans could live and work in Canada if they please and Canadians could do the same in America. It would be set up like the EU but America and Canada could retain a bit more sovereignty than the EU countries.
I know many would be fiercely against this but it could very well be in our best interest in the long term. What do you think?
You can't live in Canada without permanent residency, which is extremely difficult to get, and is no easier for Americans than for people in Bangladesh.
I don't think that's true. It's much easier to become a landed immigrant in Canada than to get permanent residency in the US unless you are the close relative of an American citizen. I've known people who've immigrated to both countries, and the process to get into the US can take years.
I don't see why there's any obligation to include Mexico.
I don't think it's going to matter. At the rate you're going you'll have more Mexicans than Mexico. That's one way to annex a country...
