I haven't kept up with this lately, but back in 1996, when I was reporting
on it, a car needed to have something like 70% US content to be counted as
a
US-built car. There was some odd thing in there about NAFTA; I think a car
built partly in Mexico or Canada needed 50% US content to count as a
US-built car. I don't remember how that worked.

You probably could Google this one up.


While he's at it, he should googlize this:
http://www.google.com/search?q=north+american+union

That's a border around the whole of Canada, the USA, and Mexico, with
no division between us. The concept of abrogating our power (adding
Canada's liberals and Mexico's communists to our already too-socialist
regime) scares me ****less. Life, as we know it, would end. shudder


Well, life as *you* know it might end. Life as I know it wouldn't skip a
beat. g

Did you ever see that map that divides North America into "The United States
of Canada" and "Jesusland"? It's a hoot.
