Better than annexing Canucks

Actually, bringing in Canada is a good idea. I doubt they'd want any part of it though 😛

If Mexico is such a shitty place that everyone there wants to come here, why the fuck would we want to annex it?

The US is falling behind in Mariachi. If we can't get our act together on our own then we will TAKE what we need. It is our Destiny, made Manifest.

No. Just give them Texas and both parties win.

Are we annexing the land only and pushing mexicans further south so we have less border to patrol?

If not, I don't see how adding everyone down there is preferable to just doing nothing about illegal immigration.

would we get discounts on sombreros and hookers?

Because once we had control, we'd build up the infrastructure and standard of living so they wouldn't want to leave. 😛

Hmm.. I understand where you're coming from, but...

I think that would just make it worse. :laugh:

What are we going to do, incorporate it into the US.. then build a giant wall around it?

I don't think that would fly.. lol.

How much would it realistically cost to put a fence up along the whole border? Not a fence, but how about a 12' concrete wall with a couple of layers of barbed wire at the top?

Even if it would cost like 5 billion dollars..?

Yes, just what we need, Iraq 2: Tequila Bugaloo

The last option; we don't want the mexican drug dealers and scum in our country whether they're annexed or not.

We already took the parts of Mexico we wanted back in 1848 and passed on the rest. Well, except for the Gadsden Purchase which we picked up in 1854 to build a railroad. Leave well enough alone.

Been taking U.S. History?

EditL I'm typing at an angle, drunk, high, and my posts are still gramatically correct. Give me a break for the double post.

What in the fuck would we want Mexico for? Honestly.

Plus, underage college kids would be crushed when they couldn't go to cancun or cabo and get their drink on anymore.

So's the South. But we haven't gotten rid of them yet.

WTF. The whole point is to keep out the Mexicans, why would we want to add all of them

Cause then they wouldn't be Mexicans, and they'd be legal. Hence nothing to bitch about.

You seem to be missing the point.
