Is it time for the US to annex Mexico? You Bet!
Maybe the answer to the problem of illegals crossing the border, between Mexico and the US, is to permanently move the border…south to… say… the northern border of Guatemala and Belize?
Mexico is a strange country. Their government is in Mexico City and their people are in North Carolina…(and other states, of course). So, with this arrangement, who, exactly, is the Mexican government governing? Huh?
I’m just sorta looking for possible answers to this very serious problem.
We could send the Texas National Guard down, one weekend, to roll up Mexico and be done with it. Besides, they used to have some oil down there. Maybe we can tap into to that to offset our added expense of welfare to the remainder of the people in that country…make that “state”. Maybe we could make it a territory, like Puerto Rico? Heck, we can’t even get the Puerto Ricans to vote for Independence! Those government checks spend far too well, to give that up.
Look, we invaded, and conquered Mexico, in the 1840’s, (1846-1848) and then we invaded a few times prior to the First World War when some Mexican bandits began raiding across the border. Problem is, we gave it back every time we took it. Now they won’t stay home.
If we are going to have to support the country anyway, why not just take it in payment for services rendered?
The lefties won’t allow us to put up a fence, or a wall, or even put troops on the border to stop the illegal crossings. So, we need a different solution.
My suggestion is…Annexation! Right away! Unless, of course, they would agree to stay home if we gave them California back!

I am a "lefty" as you call me. i have a beter solution: Build the wall with armed guards, just build it north of Crawford Texas and give Mexico the Bushes too!
ReplyDeleteI like Frank's idea a lot!
ReplyDeleteAnother point: Mexico's oil production is nearing it's peak (and may have passed it already), as is the rest of the world's. Their oil wouldn't help us much unless more productive fields are discovered...
One main flaw with this theory, we'd have to be responsible of feeding and housing them too. We already have too many people living off the government.

Last year, the Census Bureau estimated there were 10.3 million undocumented illegals in the US. That figure reflected a 23% increase since 2000. It is estimated that Mexican illegals account for 5.9 million, and another 2.5 million are from other Latin American countries.
We have a darn good start on feeding and housing them NOW!
Longstreet
I have a better plan then that Longstreet, and it uses your report: Since tere has been a 23% increase since 2000 (The year Bush was appointed president) Why don't we ship the republican leadership to Mexico, Maybe the Mexicans will follow them back (like the pied piper). Maybe then a Strong Democratic Lead leadership could actually stop this invasion. They only come because republicans love cheap labor.
