Mexico is a rich country whose wealth is being hoarded by corrupt government officials. It's really a shame. Mexico could do so much for it's people if the government only wanted to.

Seeing as how there's only two countries involved in this, the answer could either be the U.S. or nobody.\n\nIf every undocumented Mexican were granted citizenship, they would pay taxes for the money they made, instead of how right now only about 35% pay income tax, so you decide for yourself.\n\nIf you actually knew anything about economics, you'd see that if Mexico's economy was stable, its business partners would benefit (i.e. the United States). \n\nIf you're going to ask about who's responsibility it is to do things in the world, why don't you point your questions at the Middle East? Is it really the United States' responsibility to save the Iraqis from Saddam Hussein? Are our tax dollars meant for our government to democratize another? That's not what they were originally meant to do, but the money we spend will help out Iraqis (I know people who live there). Our tax dollars were not originally meant to help Mexico out, but the money we would spend would help out Mexico.

It goes back to the US-Mexican War of the mid 1800s. A good part of the Western US was claimed by Mexico and not yet part of the US. The US fought a war and won and paid a pittance in reparations to the Mexican government - something like $20 million (Not sure of the exact amount, though.) The next year, gold was discovered in California and the year after (1849), California was made a state. The Mexican government has been bitter about this ever since, especially since the amount of wealth taken from the Sierra foothills in the Gold Rush was many, many times greater than paid to the Mexican government. There has also been some rumblings from Spanish radio that that is why there are so many Mexican-Americans in Los Angeles - that they're trying to take it back by culturally overwhelming the city. I don't know if that is true; I have just read about it in some mainstream media stories here in CalifonriMF \n\nMaybe you don't live in California or have heard this before, but it is a REAL sentiment among many Mexican-Americans. (I am not Mexican  American; I am just reporting what I have read.)

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.

They can't! Not EVERYBODY think that their government is bad, that's only what the poor people think. If they going to ban together and form a new government, there is also going to be the opposite side try to stay the same government. When two sides are argue with opposite idea, there WILL be a war. Nobody likes war, so the Mexican just trying to be happy with the government (which obviously they DIDN'T happy with it) just so Mexico could have peace!

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.

Legally, the US Government cannot interfere with another country's economy. It would also be extremely rude to go around telling other governments how to run their countries.\nThe reason that the Mexican government can't really create jobs for the economy  is because their government is corrupt. Their government isn't really interested in what's good for the people, it's interested in what's good for itself. Also, most of Mexico's population is below the poverty line. You also have to take into account the fact that about 85% of the capital is controlled by 4% of the population, so it is basically a third world country. In order gain capital, you have to have capital. what they need to do is restructure their economy so that Growth can happen, and the way to begin this process is to set up a school system where their children can begin to be competitive with other countries.

In order to own a business in Mexico, a Mexican National has to have a majority ownership in the business (51% ownership is the average).  Obviously, this poses a risk to the minority holder (you) in that if your relationship with your partner disintegrates, you could be forced out and lose your investment.

Yes, but the "fair"ness depends on the situation.  If they're taking your land to give to private developers, the private developers obviously couldn't afford to pay the ACTUAL price that land owners would have charge them for it.  So, unethical governments will use imminent domain to steal the land, then they will have the private developers put stores on it that will cause the price of the land to skyrocket.

I agree they will say and do anything to get what they want. it wouldn't be a problem if they allowed a small amount of immigrants a year, But 11 million that demand rights when they are not even legal.\n\nAvari you can't blame Mexico problems on someone else. just because a country have more than anothers does mean others are entiled to it. It would be difference if they ask to come here. If you go and still something that don't belong to you then your a robber, in this case land. Just because someone is poor doesn't mean Bill Gates should give money to them. because it his money and if he don't offer it then you can't have it. The US is not the place to start sending people because they are poor.

Apparently not, they want to extend it until they get to Canada. They are always saying that their land was stolen, if they like so much history then they should remember that the Aztecs conquered most of central America, and in their temples they killed thousands pf prisoners.By the way, I'm tired of hear about " La raza", not because most people down USA speak Spanish, make them the same, and then they want to receive all the benefits. Among all the Hispanics countries Mexican re known for the terrible way they treat other Latino-Americans, they beat them up and take them back to the border with Guatemala , after the steal all the have on them, they got thousands of Cubans that have landed there looking for freedom on their way to USA.They even threat the economy , if you ask me , you don't ask for souls at gunpoint.

I'm having a hard time following the premise of your question.\n\nYou state..."It was Mexico that made the deal to sell off the southern states."\n\nThis is historically unfounded. The American states of the Deep South (Mississippi, Alabama, etc.) were all a part of the original territories of the United States, formed before Mexico achieved independence.\n\nOther Southern states like Louisianna and Arkansas, etc, were carved from the Louisianna Purchase which was negotiated between the US and France.\n\nThe state of Texas achieved independence as a result of war with Mexico. (Again, Mexico "sold" nothing). And the states of the American Southwest were taken from Mexico during the Mexican-American War. (Mexico didn't "sell" them).\n\nThe only portion "sold" to the US was a tiny sliver of land in southern Arizona, known as the Gadsden Purchase. \n\nThese things being the case -- can you clarify you point, please?

A better option would be to allow the Mexican public an opportunity to vote themselves in to a negotiated merger, or essentially a referendum on the performance of their government over the past century.  Of course the Mexican Goverment would never allow that any more than US Goverment would.  A huge amount of the reason that Mexicans come to the US looking for jobs is that the PRI managed to keep Mexico's economy from developing in a normal fashion during the bulk of the 20th century.  Some of the pandering of the US goverment to Mexico could very well be explained by a desire to see the PAN remain in control of the Goverment in Mexico, however in the long run the US needs to secure it's borders, punish US employers of Illegals and do what we can in helping Mexico provide enough jobs for their own population.  Though hypothetically combining the two countries does make some sense.

No.  After the Mexican-American war Mexico ceded most of the land that makes up New Mexico to the United States.  The rest of the territory was purchased from Mexico (the Gadsden Purchase) around 1853.  The land remained a U.S. territory until New Mexico became a state.\n\nBTW, I think Billy the Kid was from New York originally anyway, so for him it's a moot point.
