Some believed that America's 43rd President, George W. Bush, tried to create a North American Union with Canada and Mexico. With those unfamiliar with what that means, a NAU would erase our borders with these nations and we would act as one large economic super house much like that of the European Union. Despite President Bush supporting free trade, he actually increased the amount of border patrol agents at the border and never supported an NAU. However, as Texas Governor Rick Perry prepares to run for president, some are likely to examine his record with regards to the NAU. Over a decade ago, Perry supported having a NAFTA super-highway which would erase our border in Texas. This would have allowed for open-borders. All the issues we have with illegal immigration would become worse, and the consequences would be devastating. Rick Perry, the man who wanted Texas to secede from the union, previously wanted to erase our country's borders. This, in fact, shows a lack of judgment.
