Americajoined

Americajoined is a term used in political discourse to describe a hypothetical process of deeper integration among North American countries, most often the United States and Canada, with the possibility of expansion to Mexico. In this sense, it refers to moving toward a federated or confederated arrangement with shared institutions, governance, and policy coordination across national borders.

The term is a portmanteau of "America" and "joined" and appears in think pieces, policy discussions, and speculative writing rather than as an established plan. It is used to explore what deeper union would entail and what it would require in constitutional, legal, and cultural terms.

Proposed components of an Americajoined framework vary, but commonly include economic integration through a large internal market with harmonized regulation, joint regulatory and security institutions, and coordinated infrastructure planning. Debates consider whether border controls would be relaxed in some areas, how immigration and residency would be governed, and how defense and foreign policy would be coordinated while preserving national sovereignty.

Status and reception are uncertain; there is no formal framework, treaty, or movement to establish Americajoined. Critics argue that such a union would threaten national sovereignty, complicate constitutional arrangements, and raise disparities in policy outcomes. Proponents argue that deeper integration could enhance economic resilience and collective security, but believe any plan would require extensive consensus, negotiation, and safeguards for rights and regional autonomy.
