There is renewed talk about the NAU with this new report and a recent meeting between Bush, Harper and Fox where it is rumored they discussed the possibility indepth.
QUOTE:
The North American Union is a proposed supranational or international entity encompassing the nations of Canada, the United States and Mexico. The blueprint for this organization was laid out in a 2006 report entitled "Building a North American Community" published by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). It is modeled loosely on the European Union. A proposed common currency would be called the "Amero," modeled after the EU's common currency, the Euro. The three nations that make up the NAU would ease remaining trade and travel restrictions with each other, making entry into their countries from the other two as easy as crossing state or provincial lines within each of said countries. Because of this, the NAU is seen by many in the United States as an end run around Federal immigration laws and eliminating the need for amnesty for illegal immigrants currently being debated in the US Congress. This organization is also seen by many as surrendering US sovereignty. Because of these and other provisions that would be enacted if the NAU was put in place, it is considered to be nothing more than an unconstitutional therefore illegal international treaty by many in the United States.
Thats the rumored proposal, here is what appears to be the groundwork for such a union....

President George Bush, President Vicente Fox of Mexico, and Prime Minister Paul Martin of Canada unveiled a blueprint for a safer and more prosperous North America when they announced the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) on March 23 in Waco, TX. They agreed on ambitious security and prosperity agendas to keep our borders closed to terrorism and open to trade. The SPP is based on the premise that security and our economic prosperity are mutually reinforcing, and recognizes that our three great nations are bound by a shared belief in freedom, economic opportunity, and strong democratic institutions.
The SPP provides the framework to ensure that North America is the safest and best place to live and do business. The Partnership is a trilateral effort to increase security and enhance prosperity among the three countries through greater cooperation and information-sharing.
Guided by a Leaders Statement and Action Plans on Security and Prosperity, Cabinet Secretaries and Ministers convened trilateral working groups to develop concrete work plans and specific timetables for securing North America and ensuring legitimate travelers and cargo efficiently cross our shared borders; enhancing the competitive position of North American industries in the global marketplace; and, providing greater economic opportunities for all of our societies while maintaining high standards of health and safety.
