North American Cooperation Organization

It doesn't make a good acronym (NACO) but there are worse.

Seriously, in my opinion, drug use and trafficking, human trafficking, illegal immigration and other problems between and within North American countries is for the most part a social issue.  Building a wall is not the answer.  I learned in grade school that the most effective method of solving problems that involve others is to work with the other parties in order to come to an agreement.  Sure, there will be compromises and friction.  True change requires effort and time, not a wall.

North America consists of several independent countries, including Canada, Mexico, the United States, Cuba, Guatemala, Haiti, Panama, Jamaica, and a host of others. We are all geographically local to one another.  Why not work together in order to solve our shared and independent problems?

We all have problems with human trafficking, the illegal drug trade, poverty, crime and corruption.  There are billions of people as a whole in North America that could, given a workable framework, come together, not only to improve our shared and individual conditions but also to better our economies.

All it takes is a little time, effort and patience.  Donald Trump wants to 'Make America Great Again'.  We thrive when our neighbors thrive.

POTUS Reaction to Weather Related Destruction in Louisiana

No, President Trump didn't even mention the disaster or destruction that occurred in Louisiana.  Perhaps it didn't even cross his mind.  Apparently he had better things to do... like slam Judge Neil Gorsuch  and Judge James Robart.

Maybe his mind is on Nordstroms and their business decision to drop his daughter Ivanka's product line.

Or perhaps his mind is fussing about how to get his immigration ban reinstated.

He wants to be the 'people's president' but not a word about the storms and destruction and mayhem.  tell me, Mr. President...  Where is your concern over the true, real condition of the American people?
