Would the Mexicans be happy if we agreed to just hand over everything south of San Onofre?

If only it were that easy.  They don't want our land, they want the proverbial American teat.

I hope so, it is time to send some if not all of the ILLEGALS back to where they come from. So if you are legal better take your paperwork to the rally or you might find yourself on a bus to Mexico.

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 don't think that the Mexicans would agree. Mind you, there is always the option to invade it like the US normally does with other countries, but then again Mexico doesn't really have a lot of resources that the USA is interested in.

Cool\n\nThen the new state could simply have the Queen of England as head of state as she is in Canada, so you wouldnt need to go to all that expense of having a President elected every four years, and to make the Mexicans feel at home they could call her El Queeno.\n\nTrouble is that if Mexico became part of the U.S, where would all the illegal mexicans in the states go then?

I've speculated on this myself.  Once upon a time we purchased new territory peacefully: Florida, Louisiana, Gadsden purchase; I'm sure we could probably afford to buy Mexico and end all of the corruption that keeps it a poor country compared to the US.

Oh, I agree.  Let's give Texas back to the Mexicans.

Mexico would make a good parking lot for Texas and California. :)

The more the merrier . Let's invite Mexico too. That would solve a lot of our problems with them , and bring in some cash also .

I'll give Califonia or Texas back to the Mexican so Americans can stop bad-mouthing them.

The Southwest belongs to the United States. It has since the 1800s. Why all of a sudden, are people claiming it belongs to Mexico? If Mexico wants it, then Mexico can just try to fucking take it. I'll be waiting for them, along with millions of other service members and armed citizens.

No. I think some of the people who lives over there are happy they have their government the way it is now as opposed to what they had before.

How will it be partitioned? I'm  sure Mexico would want the desert Southwest.

I don't know if you will consider this an intelligent answer or bashing, but this is my opinion: Not only would prices go up, but availability would go down.  I tried doing agricultural work in the 70's when I was a young and inquisitive hippie type.  I cannot imagine that any of us spoiled Americans who could possibly get any other type of work would want to do that for more than a few days.  It is NOT FUN.\n  I think that the produce would rot in the fields if there were no Mexicans available to pick it.  Most of us would be unable and unwilling to go out there and do anything that is that uncomfortable and dirty and exposes you to the sun, and agricultural chemicals, snakes, etc.\n  It is my opinion that the hype over closing the Mexican border has more to do with making middle Americans feel insecure than it does with Mexicans really.  I also believe that the typical Mexican working in the US would much prefer to be legal, would chose to be if it were easily possible.\n  I frequently travel from the middle of Mexico to the middle of the US by bus, the border has buses from Mexico lined up 24/7 all full of Mexicans, all going to every part of the US.  You never hear about those people on the news, do you?\n  I have found travel in the US to be less easy, more expensive, and more hassle these last few years.  What we need to be asking is why are our freedoms being curtailed?  All of this hype over Mexicans is just being put out to distract Americans from the facts of lessening freedom for us.  \n  Of course our country could not run without the Mexican work force.  Take a look around your own town wherever it is, I bet you will find a whole section that is Mexican.  Mexican groceries, clothes, Drs, all anyone would need, including buses that are totally run in Spanish and cross the border daily.\n  You needn't worry that the borders are going to be closed to Mexicans, what you need to worry about is are they going to be closed to YOU unless you are rich...  The folks who are putting out this brainwashing have no real interest in the rights/abuses of Mexicans, they are after your rights.\n  I hate to put this out there, because it is probably just going to get me in trouble, but I think a lot of the stuff that is on the news is nothing but brainwashing.\n  Some of the people here in Mexico believe that there may be as much as 30% of the Mexican workforce in the US at this time, and I know for sure that the American retirees are here spending money like crazy, I spend most of mine here in Mexico.\n  There are larger issues of economics and social control here, you can count on it.  We are not being told the truth, we are being manipulated by someone, I have no idea who, but I bet they are super-rich...  And they have no intention of cutting off their own supply of cheap labor.  They just want you to be too afraid to do anything but earn and spend money which is all they care about you for.  Whew! glad I got that off my chest, hope you find my opinion interesting.
