no more border problems, no more reform every few years Then everyone could stay in the state of mexico with the same rights.more tax payers. Bringing more states into the union has happened in the past why not now in the present? Times have changed why cant we????

Mexico wants to get rid of their poor. They personally don't care where they go just as long as they leave and send money back. These are very uneducated people and a major a drain on the Mexican society as they are on ours. Americans are very misinformed if they think our government, corporate America and small businesses like these people. Mexican serve a purpose and caring about them has nothing to do with it.

Why not? The other two parties have screwed up everything! Smaller government, personal responsibility, no embedded taxes are all things that would make this great country even greater!

Considering that a lot of people are retiring on a social security check that won't support them in the US, my guess is that a lot of people will be asking that question. The Mexicans can move up here and all the old folks can bring the US down there.

All of the US belonged to someone else at one time.  So did Mexico, Canada.  England (GB) used to be part of the Roman Empire.  So what is your point?  The US won the Mexico-American war.  Time to move on.  Don't confuse Mexican-Americans for Mexicans and the Mexican government, they are not the same thing.

I know people personally who are considered medically disabled and unable to work.  The insurance company they paid into their whole lives dropped them because they supposedly reached their "life cap."  They moved to Mexico to be able to afford the healthcare and medications they need just to survive on a daily basis.  I would do the same in their position.  We should be free to go wherever we need to on God's earth to not just survive but THRIVE.  If that place changes from the USA to Mexico for me tomorrow I'll go in a heartbeat.

they should close the border regardless. it's our side of the line, we can do wtf we want with it, and anyone who has a problem with securing our border can go to the other side of the border and live there and do all the drugs they want and do donkey shows and drink tequila. i could be mistaken, but i thought the whole point of securing the border was to keep terrorists from coming up through mexico.

I disagree.  Canada & Mexico have always worked together independent of the US and with the US.  We're living in a globalizing world where no nations should be excluded.  The world should "come together" & not divide.

would you people quit begging for bigger government & global authorities to solve all your percieved problems. its none of the un's business what happens here or anywhere else. thats why usa was formed remember? un shouldnt exist. mexicans have been the dominant culture & population in the south for the entire time the viande have been here. why are they such a problem? were you so worried about this 6 months ago or is this the product of the media blitz?

A better option would be to allow the Mexican public an opportunity to vote themselves in to a negotiated merger, or essentially a referendum on the performance of their government over the past century.  Of course the Mexican Goverment would never allow that any more than US Goverment would.  A huge amount of the reason that Mexicans come to the US looking for jobs is that the PRI managed to keep Mexico's economy from developing in a normal fashion during the bulk of the 20th century.  Some of the pandering of the US goverment to Mexico could very well be explained by a desire to see the PAN remain in control of the Goverment in Mexico, however in the long run the US needs to secure it's borders, punish US employers of Illegals and do what we can in helping Mexico provide enough jobs for their own population.  Though hypothetically combining the two countries does make some sense.

The outcome would be a large amnesty, but this issue could be solve by an anchor baby becoming the president of the United States., A Mexican American president Would be very nice. that way we could be a very large country, stronger indeed. I like the Idea.

Mexican immigration laws have been made stronger as a result of cooperation with the United States, Mexico is doing the dirty work of the United States to prevent immigrants from other countries to use Mexico as a step to get to the United States.\n\nIf collaborating with the United States toward a common goal is hypocrisy, then I don't know what asking for those changes represent for the United States.

The only constant is change.  Change is bound to happen.  the changes we have going on right now aren't so good.  Sound legislation needs to be written.  It needs to be written based on the peoples needs.  The majority of the US is against illegal immigration.  Our politicians must respect that.

What do you mean "reasons for both sides"?  What reason could there be for Mexico to not want a wall on the border?  No legitimate reason that's for sure!  A wall  manned by the US military would solve the problem.  \n\nFirst, it would bring our troops home from the middle east and let them do something to help our own country rather than the futile attempt to change the beliefs of a bunch of fanatics.\n\nSecond, it would keep most of the free loading, non tax paying illegal aliens out of our country.\n\nHell, what's not to love about having a wall built.  I would be glad to send my tax dollars to the border patrol to build one rather than have it go to non-english speaking mexicans, who came to our country illegally, on welfare.

WE HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS OF OUR OWN.  WHY WOULD WE WANT TO TAKE ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND SOCIAL FABRIC OF MEXICO?  OUR TAXES WOULD SOAR.  THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THE BERLIN WALL CAME DOWN.  GERMAN CITIZENS SAW THEIR TAXES RISE SIGNIFICANTLY WHEN THEY WERE BURDENED WITH THE REBUILDING OF EASTERN GERMANY.

I wish I knew the answer to that one.  The same thing goes on here with the Mexicans pouring across our border hourly.  Our Middle class is slowly being eliminated.  I think its possible that governments are afraid they might get sued or something.  I think citizens should get together and file a class action suit because our rights are being taken away.

isn't that what they are doing...in a clip mexican protesters were talking about having infantry...mexico has been educating it's citizens on how to swim across the border. so why wouldn't mexico want them to fight to stay here....it will happen if usa starts deporting!!! ppl need to wake up and realize that there is an invasion of usa!!!

The U.S. doesn't have an official language as such ... but we should have!!  And present day Mexicans have no claim whatsoever over any part of the U.S. ... even the Mexican constitution acknowledges where the border is drawn, and what belongs to Mexico ... and having read their constitution, I didn't find one reference to California or New Mexico or whatever they want to claim belongs to Mexico ... we have to deal with the realities of TODAY ... not the realities of hundreds of years ago ... at the same token, Russia could then claim Estonia again ... Sweden could claim the ports of Germany .... and on and on it goes ....
