Here is page re treaties, etc. By what authority did Clinton pull this stuff? His Executive Orders, the minute he went out of office, so did his Executive Orders for they can be changed by a new President. The UN has no authority over this country or its citizens; and as for tests and qualifications to enter this country, it seems perhaps it is about time some of these laws were enforced, and the illegal entries dumped back from whence they came. Always thought treaties were something you signed after a war or seirous dispute - for when we enter into a treaty with the UN we are entering into treaties with our enemies and we are out numbered. While we entertained Elian Castro and the UN Secretary were scheming down in Cuba re sending immigrants from all over the world to the USA for work and the condition of their emmigration to this country, they must be non-whites - as Emma Lazaras said, give us the refuse from your shores and Castro already did that once when he sent his garbage to American from the prisons - killers, rapists, etc., and wonder if some of them are not still b eing held in "concentration" camp structures? Remember one man holding up a cardboard sign with the masonic G years ago who wante out. You can pull up treaties, etc. under subject mater if interested but I for one do not recognize this UN which is the joke of the century? A very costly joke but to me, it is another Murder Inc. glorified - humaitarians with whips ...... Saba United States Date of admission to UN: 24 October 1945.
