The proclamation of a National Emergency at the US-Mexico
border by President D.Trump effectively and procedurally blocks the approval of
the US Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) by the US Congress, as prima facia
evidence of violation of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples articulated in USMCA
Article 32.5: Indigenous Peoples Rights
Section A – Exceptions.
The proclamation of a National Emergency at the US-Mexico border by President D.Trump in order to build “Trump Wall” is a violation of the Right of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent which is a required criteria for projects that impact the territories and human rights of Indigenous Peoples under the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007).
The proclamation of a National Emergency at the US-Mexico border by President D.Trump in order to build “Trump Wall” is a violation of the US-Mexico Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848) which established the initial border between the two countries after the US waged war on Mexico in pursuit of continental territorial domination under the racist ideology of Manifest Destiny. The “Trump Wall” is the contemporary articulation of Manifest Destiny, a policy of international aggression and executive action in violation of the Peace established by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo between the two countries. The international border established by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848) was modified in order to facilitate US corporate economic interests by the Gadsden Purchase (1853) and migrated south to its present location bisecting the northern territories of the Continent Abya Yala [Americas].

The Doctrine of Discovery and Immigration Legislation
Statement of Global Indigenous Peoples Caucus
UN Permanent Forum for Indigenous Peoples
11th Session May 7-18, 2012
United Nations Headquarters
New York, NY
It must be recognized that in fundamental terms, the
doctrine of discovery challenges the just claims of Indigenous Peoples, in
particular with respect to processes of decolonization and the implementation
of Article 3 of the Declaration respecting self-determination.
The discussion of the doctrine of discovery must include reference to domestic legislation of member states, such as immigration legislation, as well as challenge the establishment of state borders, which do not reflect the traditional lands and territories of Indigenous peoples, that have been established further to the doctrine of discovery. We fundamentally disagree with the current practices of states to criminalize the movements of Indigenous Peoples across borders of the states.

Fall Equinox 2015: Declaration of the Continental Commission Abya Yala
***************
Self Determination and Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples in the New NAFTA Trade Zone of North America [Canada-US-Mexico]
It took 47 years since the 1960’s UN declaration in support of the right of “all peoples” to self-determination to be extended to Indigenous Peoples, with the adoption of the 2007 UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
But twelve years later, those words have not moved far off the paper on which they are written. Indigenous issues are still being subsumed under the individual domestic rubric of the member states of the UN Nations General Assembly, in defiance of the commitment to universal human rights that self-determination invokes and professes for all humanity.
