Because Mexico is south of USA

The Continental US lies north of Canada in only a couple spots, notably near Niagara Falls (Buffalo) and in Michigan and I think up in Washington state. Clearly, the answer is Detroit and this has been referenced several times on ESPN radio as sportscasters talk about how unbelievably close it is from the shore of Detroit over to Canada.

MEXICO provoked the US into war by sending troops across the border to rape, pillage and kill innocent Texans. They did this by digging tunnels and by cover of darkness.  After the US defeated Mexico it decided to purchase the southwest states to maintain continuity in the continent. Yes it purchased at fair value after Texas had already been declared independent of the ruthless dicator Antonio Vicente Lopez Fox de Santa Ana.  Viva Max!!!

in the days of slavery there wasnt a easy way to get to mexico , the slaves never ran into the southwest toward mexico, they ran into the north where if they made it they would have been considered free men

The problem with Mexico is that much of the country doesnt have much of an export/import like US and Europe do to provide the country with an annual gross income and many of the jobs in Mexico are farming and if you're lucky to work in places that are major tourist attractions like Puerto Villarta Cancun and Acapulco or even Cabo San Lucas. Mexico only has the tourist industry barely getting them out of poverty, but it's the laws that are keeping much of the country in poverty this explains why you see so many mexican nationals illegally crossing into the United States.

Some parts are safer than others but it is not a safe place in general. Mexico is a country that teeters on the verge of revolution. It is unstable and unpredictable. Its only a matter of time until violence against Americans increases.

Either way, the money doesn't get used in the U.S. as any corporation of the size to be able to open sites in Mexico has a ton of tax shelters that prevent paying taxes.  Mexico benefits far more from both situations than the U.S. does.

Mexico Does NOT "GUARD" Its NORTHERN Borders\n\nThey ESCORT Their People(DRUG SMUGGLERS, ETC.) TO The Border And ASSIST Them \nTo Gain ILLEGAL ENTRY INTO The United States

Technically, yes, Mexicans are Americans. The reason being, there is no country called America. There is a country called the United States of America, and there are two continents called the Americas. You are completely correct and anyone who says different does not know what they are talking about. I challenge anyone to find a map that calls this country America as opposed to the United States of America, America being the continent within which the states are united.

The United States has already taken half of Mexico by force, during the Mexican-American War. Check Wikipedia for more info on that conflict. \n\nThis seems like a question motivated by frustration, but I think those are the questions most in need of reply. The U.S. will not invade Mexico because it is politically, economically, and militarily unfeasible. Politically, the U.S. will not invade another democracy. Despite its many problems, Mexico is a democracy, and one that had cleaner elections in 2000 than the U.S. Check Freedom House for confirmation on this. Economically and militarily, the U.S. is simply stretched too thin as it is. In the end, however, the political ramifications would just be too high.

If you were educated in Mexico then you're taught that America is a continent, named after Americo Vespucci the Italian mapper.  Also Vespucci didn't discover the U.S.A.  It didn't even exist when he was around, and he never even set foot on present day U.S. territory which is all taken from its indigenous people in any event.  \n  Both Mexico and the U.S. are in North America. People of the United States are norteamericanos or estadounidenses, i.e., northamericans and unitedstatsians.  \n  However if you're educated in Gringolandia, and under people like George W. Bush, then America means exclusively the United States because of the 18th century doctrine of Manifest Destiny. Remember that? "It's the White Anglo Saxon's Destiny to spread his superior civilization over people not industrious or intelligent enough to make it prosper." There were a lot of quotes like that in 18th century newspapers.

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.

what is your question? \nIs it about the Cuban coyotes or Mexican immigration/emigration?\nWhat is your point?\nThere were native Americans in both Mexico & the USA before "Mexicans" or US Americans - so what?\nMexico couldn't establish a permanent settlement in Texas due to the harsh environment, distance from the Mexican government home base & various native American groups who killed any Mexican who tried. The first true permanent Texas settlements (non-native/Indian) were built by the Anglos from the then young USA.
