Is this a serious question?  Surely not.

It'd be an almost impossible task, maybe they could take over a small part-like Hawaii, or Alaska (again Herculean), well and the US has weapons of Mass Destruction and are not denying them, rather using that leverage to control the world.\n\nIn case of such an eventuality happening, that particular invading country is gonna have the whole world after it's as.s, and will have to run, that is assuming that the local Americans don't start using their arsenal of weapons that their gun laws permit them to own, the other country is gonna get their as.sholes pasted on the wall\n\nA note to end - I am not an American and I am not from that fairy Blair's country, and have always been critical of US  in most of my posts pertaining to them. The vulgar expressions (they are a part of most humans' bodies though) are meant not as an insult but to explain, to stress that under the present circumstances what you are asking is practically impossible.\nChill out!\nst

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 .

It should be the other way around.  If we did that in Mexico (tiny Mexican flag with LARGE American flag), what do you think would happen?

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.

could be in less than 30 years if the trend does not change. They are human the same as us but need to follow the rules. I favor mining the borders and putting signs up to keep out or else tough sh--. We might as well take over Mexico and get things organized but of course that would mean we have to be organized.  The turmoil in this country has been caused by too many people stuffing their pockets instead of doing the jobs they were elected to do. That includes both parties.

I don't know if this is so absurd...\n\nI doubt China will 'occupy' Mexico, but China is improving its relations with Central America, particularly the leftist countries there. The Presidential candidate running against Fox is far to the left of Fox, and I have no idea how close a friendship he might like to have with China.\n\nYes, we'd care.  Send troops?  Um, if Mexico were ATTACKED, yeah, probably. But what if Mexico just invited them?

It would be really interesting to form the United States of Amexicanda! And it is odd that we seem to fear Mexicans so much. But if tacos powered industry and automobiles, we would be in Mexico for sure.

Sure, Sam Houston beat the Mexican Army back in 1836, then the US military had beaten them again 1848. There is plenty of oil there to help out with growth not to mention the labor pool that has improved their skill in the past 30 years.  Mexico being added to the US would do wonders for the economy, then 70% of the poorest of the population would increase their standard of living into the modern world. But we would have to sink in tons of money in Federal programs to break up all the corruption, that in itself makes it not worth it.

You should they charge us, the Mexicans, to bring anything out of Mexico into the United States.

We should let Mexicans flood the Middle East.

NO!!! What makes you think that Mexicans want to be colonized by the US??\nI am a Mexican and really, I don't want Mexico to be part of the US. The fact that some Mexicans come to the US for better oportunities does NOT mean that ALL MEXICANS want to be in the US, nor that Mexicans want to loose their own identity and country for an extra couple of bucks. \nImmigration is a very complex issue and as you may nottice most of the immigrants keep their own culture and remain loyal to their countries of origin. \nIf the US tried to just take over Mexico there would be a war, I'm not saying Mexico would win but we will not go without a fight!
