re: Your president is ready to send the Marines after the cartels

I haven't read all seven pages of this thread so I don't know if someone has already mentioned/asked the question. Nevertheless, here goes:

Why haven't we or why don't we invade Mexico and take it over and make it a part of the United States? It seems like this course of action would resolve all of the US Mexico issues other than wealthy business owners getting ridiculously cheap labor there. I mean, the Mexican government is worthless and is seems as if all of their citizens want to live here anyway. Instead of coming over here we can bring America to them. Plus, we would absolutely obliterate the drug cartel. We would either kill them all or run them into South America and then build a wall along Mexico's southern border.
