I don't have any fundamental problem with an individual who wants to work for his family.

The problem is that Mexico is so wildly corrupt and inneffective, if they can find work in mexico they stll can't feed thier families.

I'm actually a big fan of invoking manifest destiny in this case. We can call it "Operation helping hand".

Fundamentally Mexico has the potential to be a very prosperous state, its the corruption which keeps it a third world country.

Exactly right. Bingo, bullseye. Furthermore, nothing will change until the U.S. Marines hoist the Stars and Stripes over Mexico City. Nothing else will change anything. The "elites" of Mexico all need to be arrested and executed. The police need to be rounded up, their "leaders" executed, and the rest of them get to run a gauntlet of angry Mexican citizens armed with aluminum baseball bats.

The only thing that will stop the Mexican invasion of America is for the U.S. to invade Mexico and take that whole country over. Nothing else will work.

I doubt it. Mexico having vast resources is not related to their ability to be a prosperous state. Japan has next to no resources and yet is one the largest, most prosperous countries in the world...secular recession/depression aside. Mexico's problems run deep within its culture and corruption is just one of the many symptoms of this dysfunctional culture. For Mexico to change they have to change their culture...it won't happen for decades, if ever.

Can you imagine if Mexicans were given a vote ---state by state ---if they wished their state to stay part of Mexico or join the USA?

One thing obvious ---when Texas and New Mexico joined with the USA, you never saw any separist movement by the American-hispanics wishing to break away and rejoin Mexico. All that Atzlan stuff is coming from recent immigrants.
