Sen. John McCain, the likely GOP candidate for president, met late Tuesday with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe as part of a swing through Latin America.

The Associated Press reported that the two talked for nearly two hours and addressed Colombia’s efforts to combat drugs, its problematic human rights record and a proposed free trade agreement between the United States and Colombia.

McCain is a strong supporter of the proposed agreement.

He also favors the North American Free Trade Agreement, which has become an issue in the presidential campaign. Many blame the agreement for a loss of jobs in the Midwest and it is unpopular in key swing states such as Ohio.

McCain is headed to Mexico next, where he plans to talk to Mexican President Felipe Calderon about trade agreements, the fight against drug cartels and illegal immigration.

Here’s a little good news for all American Patriots & rather disturbing for globalist proponents for the use of Illegal Aliens as economic slaves for the benefit of unscrupulous employers.

Father of North American Community concedes dream ‘is dead’
“Says critics have blocked alignment of U.S., Mexico and Canada”
[‘The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America is dead, says Robert A. Pastor, the American University professor who for more than a decade has been a major proponent of building a North American Community. “The new president will probably discard the SPP,” Pastor wrote in an article titled “The Future of “North America,” published in the current July/August issue of the Council on Foreign Relations magazine Foreign Affairs.

Pastor attributes the failure of SPP to its largely bureaucratic nature and the decision policy makers made to keep SPP largely below the radar of public opinion.

“The strategy of acting on technical issues in an incremental, bureaucratic way and keeping the issues away from public view has generated more suspicion than accomplishments,” Pastor admitted.

Pastor blames critics for the failure of the SPP, charging it has come under attack from both ends of the political spectrum.’]
