This report argues that elevating and prioritizing the US-Canada-Mexico relationship offers the best opportunity for strengthening the United States and its place in the world. The authors also offer recommendations on how to increase North American integration in four areas; energy, economic competitiveness, security, and community ties. These include 1) capitalizing on North America's promising energy outlook; 2) bolstering economic competitiveness through the freer movement of goods and services across borders; 3) strengthening security through a unified continental strategy; and 4) fostering a North American community through comprehensive immigration reform, workforce development, and the facilitation of worker movement.
