You think so ?
Wouldn't the language barrier create problems ?
( Brazil - O Portugeso ; Aztlan - Espanol )
Different Indio languages/customs/etc.
Don't get me wrong : I've depised communism since - I guess 1946, and the thought of them succeeding anywhere gives me major discomfort.

Different cultures and customs for sure, but there really isn't much of a language barrier between Portuguese and Spanish. I've done business in South America, and I have heard many a conversation where a Brazilian was speaking Portuguese to an Argentine (or Chilean or whatever) that was speaking Spanish, each conversing in their own language. Pretty amazing to this gringa that doesn't have a command of either language! The languages are similar enough that they have no trouble understanding one another.
