Should the United States offer statehood to Mexico?

I don't think they want to become part of the US.  I wish they would allow Americans an opportunity to buy property down there.  I would.  Corporations would too though.

Would you like some Mexicans too?

Yes, of course they should.  I used to live by a big river where people like to camp, and last 4th of July there was a big group of Mexicans having a celebration, but they were displaying Mexican flags, not US flags.  I think that the ones waving their Mexican flags just don't give a damn about our country or our culture, or they only care about what they can get from it. \nIf I were to move to another country for a better life, then I would respect that country and wave their flag in appreciation.  If I wanted to wave my own flag, I would do it in my home.  I would also not expect that country to provide for my welfare or my children's welfare.\nIf Mexican illegal immigrants love their country so much, then they should join forces and revolt against their government.  Castro did it..

No.The Mexicans do not want to take over.Nor do any other ethnicity/nationality/race that comes here.They just want a shot at the American dream.

No....Mexico sends the people that they don't want to the United States...and Cuba allows their undesirables to go to Mexico. I think it is poetic justice. \nDo unto others as you would have them do unto you...

LOL trying to legislate the entire planet into the United States, are you? Face facts, that was then, this is now, and unless you really really want to face decades of nosebleed taxes to pay for overcrowding, more cops, more pollution, consider your choices wisely, because Mexico's just standing by for the green light...bone up on your spanish...of course, to be fair, it's not just mexico.\nProblem is, the more pre-load there is on your paycheck, \nthat eventually you'll be paying more and getting less in the way of any social services etc. A lot of people have developed an entitlement mentality these days, other people 'owe' them something, kind of like Sid Vicious's 'do they owe us a living'-type attitude. No one 'owes' you anything by virture of ethnicity, family name, or anything.\nMore people need to pull their socks up, and stop expecting handouts, and trying to paint our country as the mega-welfare agency. "Hey, let's go leech off america" isn't a good attitude, in my view. Lots of people just barely scraping by, out there as it is.\n\nAs hospitals etc. get overloaded, jail system gets overloaded, schools get overloaded, their effectiveness diminishes. People will demand that these services be expanded, and that the government pay for it. Well, you're part of the government, so again, vote with great consideration...\n\nI don't think the answer to global poverty is to make the United States a de-facto second-world country. Legal immigration is fine, illegal immigration is not, and as far as the indian thing goes, you're talking distant history, just like mexico losing the US/Mexico war, which they still apparently refuse to acknowledge? There's poverty in america too, and I think there's a general delusion, perpetuated by some rather unethical politicians, that blatant opportunism and cut-throat competition is the answer to the world's problems. Selling america down the river wholesale isn't going to solve any social problems, right any wrongs, and dumping another 100 million or so into the mix with impunity like the Senate apparently sees fit to do won't get the job done, either. \n\nI think it's time for people to dry their eyes, and look at the problems facing america, mexico and other nations in a new light, with an eye towards prevention and reform. You can't change the past. No one can jump in the time machine and go back and re-make the world or our country the way they think it should be. The strongest strategy, to my mind, is to try and improve what we've got. Mexico should be doing the same instead of just basically fleeing the scene of the crime...'blame america' just won't cut it.\nI have nothing against helping less fortunate people either, as long as it's 'hand up', not 'hand-out' etc...

I had heard that at one time, USA had thoughts of taking in Mexico but with all the poverty it would have just gotten USA too much in the hole.\n\nBut it all does sounds like a good idea.  Would be nice if we all could just be like one & help each other and have no wars.  God bless.  <><

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.

- It has been proposed that Mexicans in the U.S. vote in Mexican elections in designated electoral districts in the United States. Under this proposal, California, for example, might have seats in the Mexican Congress, specifically representing Mexicans residing in that state. The governing PAN party of President Fox has opposed this idea, not out of respect for U.S. sovereignty, but out of fear that most Mexicans in the U.S. would vote against the PAN. Meanwhile, another of Mexico’s three major parties, the leftist PRD, urges the designation of the entire United States as the sixth Mexican electoral district. \n\nMexico’s revanchist campaign against the U.S. as though the Mexicans were carrying it out completely against our will. But as we are bitterly aware, this is not at all the case. Something has happened in America over the last 40 years that has not only opened us to the Mexican invasion, but has even invited it. From the refusal of many American cities to cooperate with the INS, to President Bush’s celebration of Mexican illegal aliens as the carriers of family values, to the Democratic Party’s insistence that all Mexican illegals in the U.S. be given instant amnesty and U.S. citizenship, it seems that America itself wants the Mexicans to invade and gain power in our country. Since we (or rather, some of us) have invited the Mexican invasion, does this mean we (or rather the rest of us) have no right oppose it?\n\nBecause the U.S. has been silent and passive, Castañeda, in the manner of all bullies and conquistadors, tells us to heed Mexico. The time is long since passed for us to reverse this drama, and make Mexico heed the United States. But for us to do this, we must recognize that the Mexicans are not coming here merely as individuals seeking economic opportunities, but as a nation, expressing their national identity and collective will.  Even more important, we must revive our own largely forgotten and forbidden sense that we ourselves are a nation, not just a bunch of consumers and bearers of individual rights, and have the right to defend our nation as a nation\n\n\nShort Answer??- Because Hes An IDIOT
