Well, if the army is able to close off the border with Mexico, they will arrive in America by using rafts in the waters around us. And I'm not even talking about taking advantage of the undefended border with Canada.
The best way to solve this problem is to develop the Mexican economy, to curtail corruption and formally end the war on drugs. By then, just maybe people will not leave Mexico searching for a better life in America!
Mostly hispanic. From Honduras, I believe.
We're on the same page. But instead of moving all the American factories to China, why don't we simply move them to Mexico? Instead of having to prop up the regime in China, we would be wiser investing in Mexico who is right next to us, and is a better friend of USA than the Chinese leadership is to this day.
The next time you see him ask him why his father was such a jerk and brought the family up here?
The notion that people who crash the border "just to work" will magically accept the Constitution and patriotically assimilate is a fantasy.
Most have learned to HATE the USA.
The borders of the United States are mostly a legacy of the European colonial powers. There is no reason why they shouldn't be extended north, replacing the artificial border with a coastal border and extended south beyond Mexico to a smaller more defensible river border.
Canada would be absorbed as six states: British Columbia, Prarie, Ontario, Quebec, Maritime, and North territories.
Mexico would be added as nine states
For those who are concerned about Mexican encroachment, it has already happenned. The wise thing to do would be to take control and make the best of it. NAFTA is a bad move. If we are to be joined with Mexico and Canada we should do it by expansion of the US. No more secret treaties. Keep the US free and independent.

Is that what they told you?
I attended a few meetings in 72-73. The rhetoric in almost exactly the same today. I don't see the world as they predicted. ie: one world govt, uncontrolled military industrial complex. And Henry Kissinger was supposed to be behind it all. The secret government that no one knew about except the Bircher's.
What I do see is a socialist world and that the U.S. is doing a fair job of keeping it's head above it all. I was worried there for a bit (for eight years), but I believe things have gotten alot better in the last two.
If the Bircher's did not sling all those conspiracys and tri-lateral BS around, I would be more inclined to take them seriously.
Read the quotes by George W. Bush back up the thread, and then explain to me how they're better. He's leading the charge for an internationalist, socialist government of NGO's, corporations, and bureaucracies. Ultimately the NGO's will be the losers, is my guess, they just don't realize it yet -- but they'll supply a lot of the wonkery and manpower to make the changeover to oligarchic, palace government possible, and their personnel will supply a lot of the slots in the remorselessly expanding supranational (they wish) bureaucracies.
They're all looking at us like we're dinner, hoss. What's good about that?
