It would make our new southern border much smaller and easier to control. They've got oil. We'd have more great beaches. The cartels would be a bitch, but nothing a little droning cant handle. I mean, hell, we support them anyway, might as well get a little tax money back.

Doesn't Canada have a bunch of oil too? Plus syrup and good hunting.

What would we do with it? We can't even run this country correctly.

I love threads like this.

No, those Hispanics would vote democrat and extend union power. Their infrastructure as relating to power grids, roads, zoning and city landscape is not up to our standards as well. We would have to pay more taxes to maintain this new state and it would be a country killing drain. And this is not taking into account the insurgency there that would frick our military up.

Fresh coat of paint, new shrubs. Then we flip it .. To a country we know can't make the payments.

Ron White I do believe.

Are you saying the occupation would pay for itself Mr Wolfowitz?

Taking over Mexico would make the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq look like strokes of genius.

I can't name any reason why we'd want to.

I haven't done the research on this, but I'm sure it would violate a few international treaties and piss off a lot of countries that have missiles too.

If Billy Joel is to be believed, the mafia will take over Mexico within the next 3 years.

Because it wouldn't be worth the hassle of taking care of another 118,000,000 people, the vast majority of whom are extremely poor and uneducated. Why would we want that? For some oil? For some drug cartels? I know we already have an issue with millions of illegal Mexican immigrants here, but that doesn't mean we want to at 100 million more.
