Solution to the Illegal Immigration Issue

[slatr]

To prevent immigration we need to annex Mexico.

It sure would make it easier to buy vacation property there. I hear it is very hard to get right now for Americans.

Would we divide it up into states or leave it as one? Actually, we could treat it like we do Puerto Rico.

Since so many immigrants want to be here.. would it be a peaceful annexation?

[sarcasm] To hell with peaceful, round them Mexicans up and force them into determent camps in Oklahoma. We have a God given natural right to that land. [/sarcasm]

The big question is.. do Mexicans really want to be citizens here?

Or are they still just wanting to take wages (edit earned) here back to Mexico and enjoy a lower cost of living?

Doing so may severely damage our own economy for a few decades... or so "they" say.

Hey, under President Polk you conquered Mexico all the way to Mexico City. Then you realized that defending that amount of land would be impossible and retreated back to your current borders.

I didn't say conquer. I said annex.

Oh, well that changes everything. Surely you won't have any security concerns if you annex it instead of conquering that land. I'm sure the Mexicans will take that way of putting it much better.

They all want to be here anyway. The 49% who don't will have to be reformed or re-educated.

Yep the corruption would stop, the illegal manufacture of drugs will stop, etc. Perfect.

I know some of you are posting in jest but this is silly. We already have a third world country that we oversee, it's called Puerto Rico and the baggage that comes with it. We don't need any more banana republics especially ones the size of Mexico.

Well, that is happening regardless of if we annex their homeland or not.

Why would those things stop?

It has not even stopped in the current American borders.

In all seriousness, there is some logic to this proposition.

If the majority of Mexicans want to live in America and to be Americans...shouldn't Mexico just become part of America?

Instead of having 75% of the popluation of Mexico plus the population of the U.S. crowding onto the land of the U.S., might it make more sense for the U.S. to take over all of Mexico and prevent the crowding?

Realistically...that probably depends on whether or not you're willing to offer full welfare benefits, social security benefits, and free health care to the Mexicans after Mexico has been annexed.

 

[CrackRabbit]

We did that more than 150 years ago, it is called Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California now.

The mexican people would need to be encouraged to overthrow their current government.

Afterwards, they would cede the country to the United States.
