Whats about to give a green card to any hard worker who came to do the best here in exchange of the one who is deported because is a gang member or a felon?  is like send the trash out and give the opportunity to a good person to have legal rights here.  Green Card Recycling Program.... why not?

Absolutely NOT.  Mexico is the toilet of the western hemisphere.  It is filled with poverty, corrupt officials, drug lords, illiterate people, and nothing but problems.  With the exception of Mexican food, Mexico has offered virtually NOTHING of any worth to the civilized world.

Mexico is becoming less and less socialist and more capitalist all the time, so the prospect of the country following Central America´s example is low.  What will the US do for wage slaves?  If anything, wages will be forced to go up and citizens and legal residents will reap the benefits.

Actually I believe we already have when we entered into the NAFTA agreement. There is already a governing body which can overturn court decisions from any of the three countries. This is not just about free trade.\n\nAlso if you go to the NAFTA Plus agreement and look our borders will open between Mexico and Canada and the U.S. All the immigration crap we are worrying about now will be nothing.The currency is already  designed and the plans to combine our military and law enforcement with theirs is already in place. Our government has already passed it and it will go into effect in 2010. Go to the website and look for yourselves. The link is in our Government website as well. We have already been sold out.

There are many risks, but most if not all of them can be handled with adequate planning.\n\nSome simple guidelines\n\n1) Compare corporate governance laws and limitations in both countries If you are targeting a particular country make sure you understand the legal structure behind their corporate gorvernance practices.\n\n2) Make sure that international arbitration treaties are honored by the country you are targeting. So long as you can protect your assets by international arbitration, you will have a legal "safety net" you can resort to  via an arbitration specialsts in your own country.\n\n3) Seek out the embassy and right trade chambers or federations, chances are there are a lot of companies who have allready built the bridges you need to get started in any specific country. . . (ie an american company seeking to do business in mexico can resort to the american chamber of commerce Mexico http://www.amcham.com.mx and seek industry specific legal aid to start business in that country)

Yes. Central America is the southern region of North America, beginning south of the Gulf of Mexico (the exact location is defined variously) and ending at the border between Panama and Colombia. In the most common definition, it consists of the nations between Mexico and Colombia,which are:\n\nBelize \nCosta Rica \nEl Salvador \nGuatemala \nHonduras \nNicaragua \nPanama

It wouldn't work. There are no third world economies involved in the Euro. Canada and Mexico and the US have economies that are far too dissimilar. It would be like trying to drive a car when the wheels were all different sizes.Even in Europe, where the deal was based on Government debt of no more than 3% of GDP, they have had to move the goalposts because France and Germany couldn't make it.

The only way this will work is the strong nations must suffer and their economy fall, while the weaker nations thrive and reach a happy medium with the other nations.\nFor example NAFTA with mexico, the only way that will work is for the u.s.to fall econmically and  mexico to rise until we meet at some point, we've already lost over a million manufacturing jobs to mexico,since NAFTA in 1992, and have you seen the prices fall on any of these manufactured items, NO, because the manufactures are making a killing on all the profits. For example if you made floor lamps here and your cost was $10 , i could move to mexico and make the same for $2, when i got ready to sell it for $8 , i could put you out of business, so all the manufacturing jobs are headed south, with no hope of getting them back. Good luck with your globalization and you flipping burgers for a living, because that's going to be the only thing left here.

It would open up trade. there would probably be a lot more drug smuggling as well at first but opening the boarders, means opening the doors of communication as well. So the north American and south American governments would have to work together for a change to get rid of those elements. Also we would become more profitable as a nation, because it wouldn't be illegal to work here, so pay would go up for immigrants seeking work here, they in turn send or bring money home building their economy, and that country builds schools and factories, with better paying jobs for their citizens, turning them into CONSUMERS...Who in turn vacation in America, and buy American goods and products, making us an exporter not just an importer...meaning small time shops in America can now sell goods across both continents openly and become big time shops....See how it trickles down. Like you said Europe has done it and been successful.

It isn't just the superhighway it is an entire plan to put together a 'North American Alliance' which we know nothing about.  Congressman Tancredo has called for hearings on the plans, which are apparently to allow free passage of goods, services and 'low risk traffic [unlimited immigration??]'.\n\nThere are working groups from each country working on this.  You can find the names of the Canadian working group on their governmental web pages.  However, our own government is much more secretive.\n\nThat sort of idea might work with largely co-equal economies.  We and Canada might be able to make a go of it.  However, if Mexico is added Canada and the US's social services will end up supporting the poor of Mexico, based on looking at current immigration impacts.  That will leave our own people nothing to rely on ourselves.

What the heck would we need with Mexico ?

it depends on what aspect you are talking about, in commerce there is NAFTA which is USA,Canada and Mexico, then is Mercasur which includes Brazil and Argentina I think, and then is Europe, mostly all countries, Asian countries have a high penalty in Taxes if you want to import from Mexico, if you are talking in war issues, Mexico doesn't go to war.

Since some areas in the seven listed will work hand in hand, it wouldn't be necessary to itemize each item.\n\nSince we (US) currently infringe and utilize Mexico's labor force and natural resources it would be an easy task to encourage N. American business to invest in our neighbors with more business and trade training money and advice. In addition to promoting more free trade and business investment the US should assist with more geological survey and improvement of the existing wells and refineries currently working in Mexico. \n\nInvesting in Mexican trade and business will have the bilateral effect of producing additional employment across both borders. At this time it appears that the majority of N. American owned business located in Mexico, prefer to stay on the border with easy access to the US. Changing this strategy alone would move industry deeper into the country supporting remote areas which probably represent a majority of the poor and those with a desire to go someplace where they can earn money to support their families. \n\nAny economic changes submitted by the US must include education. If the US and MX choose to become world partners, the only way to success is to lift the level of education and vocational training. Mexico having to lean on the US for business skills will only be a stop gap fix. The next generation of Mexican professionals must come from Mexico! The Mexican workforce must be allowed or convinced to run their own countries business as it will eventually profit citizens of both countries with cross border trade. \n\nThis policy should also include a leveling of trade imbalance and a financial arrangement to support Mexico in efforts of balancing the dollar and the pecsos.\nI am positive a severe depression will want to emerge but, with top financial elites foraging this new life for Mexico, it will be considered before it happens. \n\nTaxes on the newly formed business will help Mexico with social programs and political agenda however, it's a safe bet that the US will have to wait for the next generation or next election of politicians in the country. I am also sure that graft and coruption will be rampant but, Mexico is not a corrupt nation as a whole and does have the basic legal or moral  objectives in place. I would also mention here that, illegal drug trade should not be a part of this program. The drug culture could harm this progress and should be dealt with independently.\n\nIn a free society economics should be the base, if investment is allowed and encouraged the political, business, tax, education and infrastructure will surley be close behind developement. Should a partnership be agreed on I would hope the US keep it's nose out of the politics as long as it is progressive and let judicial do their own house keeping.\n\nA timescale for when Mexico would become a superpower is anyones guess. If you think about it, they wouldn't need to be a superpower if they had the US on their side but, I wouldn't stop them from flexing their muscle once in awhile... They do need independence and free will. Being associated with the US these days does not always represent being on the right side. I would add that, A Chavez attitude won't work either!
