I'm not saying i think it will happen, but im just curious, if there was a civil war, would you fight in a militia, and which side would you fight on? Also if the U.S. won would you support them taking over Mexico?

i don't think there would be a civil war here, anyways not with Americans against Americans.... maybe Mexicans against Americans .........but then again i could be wrong, there are a lot of bleeding hearts out there that want the illegal Mexicans here for one reason or another? and yes i would fight along side my American brothers to defeat the invading forces ( that are already here)....

Oh, I believe it is possible that there will be a civil war here. But then when you have young people that believe it is against the law to say anything bad about the president, and if not against the law, should be...then one does have to wonder how they came to think they have any freedom what so ever. I do believe civil war on our ground is coming. I don't believe it will be white against black, or black against Asian...it will be poor against rich...it will be the have nots against the haves...and baby there are lot more of the have nots than anyone else.

We had a chance at annexing Mexico once, but the issue at the time was slavery and the Northern Free States were afraid of being superceded by the Southern Slave States in the Congress. So, we left the country alone and only took the land we believe we were entitled to, which was the South West including California. To take over Mexico now would be a very bad idea. Best to settle our own affairs and help Mexico in a better fashion.

I don't think that would happen.  There are an estimated 8 to 20 million illegal immigrants and roughly 300 million citizens.  I doubt enough citizens would fight against their neighbors to give an illegal immigrants a fighting chance in open war.

Illegal invaders can't take over $h*t. You people don't have the common sense to survive in your own country and you think you can 'take over' the USA. Your brain must be the size of gnat's. We won't have another draft anyway. We'll have a rebellion right here on USA soil before that ever happens and you'll be our target, Jose'.

I think eventually it will happen, though doubt in my lifetime.  I think we'd 'want' Canada first, but we might as well take Mexico first since most of them want to live here anyway ;)  Canadian's don't generally want to live in the US and pretty much see us as bully's.  Not sure what the general consensus is of Mexico, but the illegal immigration issues would suggest that they would support that idea.\n\n**  LOL  These answers cracked me up!  :)  We HAVE A donkey for president here in the USA - his name is Goerge W. Bush!  LOL  Nice one ;)

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'm sick of people defending the Mexican invasion by saying "are YOU a Native American?" \n\nThe natural progression/ regression/ aggression of the world is change of power and control. EXACTLY LIKE IN ROME, and in London (once Londinium) and the USSR, and in every other part of the world.\n\nThe Native Americans were not a strong enough, unified force. They could not stop Europeans from taking over their lands. So it was forfeited. That is what happens in the world, that's what has happened ALL throughout history.\n\nNow, the Mexican invasion will more than likely change power and control of this country. Except for this time, we are not weak and ununified. We are just afraid of stepping on toes, and being called inhumane, or racist. We have the ability to fix this problem (we have for many years) but we CHOOSE not to. We'll probably be the first country EVER whose government allowed themselves to be taken over by another country without putting up a fight.

In general, yes, it is an act of war. The exception is the Mexican Government. They are invading (no doubt about that) and the Mexican government is behind it. Our own politicians (many many of them) are behind it. This is what is puzzling. Why are many of our Governors and even Bush doing nothing..even after his so called speech last night...There is a hidden agendy that I cannot figure out. I do know that Mexico is invading and its goal, as it has done in some of the U.S/. southern cities, taken over the governments. I know that is their intent.. to flood the states with voters who will eventually vote in their own people and then they would establish laws to fit ONLY the Mexicans. The naive/stupid Americans with their SUVs d not know what hit them and they will NOT know until the country is in their hands..,the hands of the Mexican Government

Yes we know this already. The Mexicans lost a war that they foolishly believed would win and they paid for what they lost both with blood and money.\n\nThe people who keep saying "the border crossed" them are idiots and/or sore losers. If they were German they'd complain about Alsace-Lorraine and western Poland not being Germany's cause of World War I and II.\n\nTo cufin01... The Germans were also made to surrender at gunpoint... Duh. All wars end with one side being FORCED to surrender something, or is your liberal utopia too pleasant to get out of? \n\nDo note that I dont agree 100% with how History turns out, but are you ready for another war then (which is the only way your "grieviances" will ever be redressed)?

There certainly is merit to your idea!  It takes a lot of manpower to staff the DMZ.  In this case however, the US side will be the only side that would even bother standing watch.  The Mexican government doesn't seem to care.

If we outlaw all guns, only outlaws will have guns.  Do you REALLY want to give crooks that kind of advantage over us law-abiding citizens?  Many Patriotic Americans proudly own guns...  and that's why no country will even consider invading us!  (except for Mexico, of course)

Oh heck no if that was to happen it would be the ghetto of the USA. I read in an artitical a few week back where Vincente Fox of Mexico was talking to some people of Columbia saying that the Mexicans were going to over rule our government. Don't know how true the source really was but as daddy says talk is cheap.

Not a popular war???\n\nWhy every redneck in the state of Texas is just sitting by the phone with a beer in one hand --- a 12 GA shotgun in the other, singin' "God Bless America" and just waiting for that call from the Government  to go to Iraq, \n\nI keep telling them...this is a bit different ----deer don't shoot back!!!!!\n\noh well,

We were already occupying Vera Cruz in 1914.  I have the photos from a family diary of US Naval landing parties there. I think Back Jack Pershing was already in persuit of Villa on both sides of the border.  Remeber the Mexican Civil War was in full swing at that time.

Ha ha. Mexico would be stupid to go to war with us. They would not do it. The only people that would be hurt by the mine field idea, would be people who should not have been there in the first place. I like the idea, but know it will never be implemented.\n\njo- Why don't you open your house to everyone?\n\nchuckc2003- I don't know where you live, but this has been a big deal for a long time where I live. I am glad something is finally getting done.\n\nBuck Fush!- Uhh, no one is arguing to stop immigration moron. It is about illegal aliens. Sooooo STFU!
