I'll be honest and say that that idea has crossed my mind. A lot of oil down there in Mexico. But no one would support it, so, forget it.
OK. How about we simply do it the traditional way and invade and take over Mexico and Canada? We can then apply our own constitution, establish order and create a greater US spaning the entire Northern Hemisphere. That would certainly fix the problem - any takers?
Can you refresh my memory? When did we invade, conquer, and take over any soverign nation and apply our constitution to it?
Was that supposed to have been "spanning" or "spanking". ;-)

No not here, Canada youy might convince me of, Mexico no thanks, in fact I wonder if they want southern California back
You're reading my mind.
*I* like it.... : )
Yep, I've said it here before. If Mexico wants unimpeded access to the US, they should fold up their government tomorrow and petition to join the United States. We'd end up with 81 states (where would we put the stars?!?!) and add another hundred million people, but Mexico has the natural resources and workforce to make it worthwhile. The only problem with Mexico is their corrupt government.
As for worries about standard of living, applying US laws to former Mexican teritories would create an economic boom that would last for decades. I mean, the demand for plumbers and electricians alone to bring them up to US standards would practically eliminate unemployment ;-)
Yep.....you did a good job claiming the rice pattys over there.......not..........
What makes you think Mexico or Canada would be any easier?
Don't forget it is cold up here....unlike vietnam.
Remember hitler invading Russia?
