Boy your full of intersting questons today. Welll i guess it would be possible.  But the queston is would it benifit the United States. It would add about 20 million people and lots of pollution and damaged plumming.  I belive we could buy it annex it, and make it a state, fix its problems clean it up and secure it for about 5 Trillion dollars. But it would be a bad move on the united states part because the new land would be a burden to its econimc prosperity. Over all it wouldnt be wroth it.  It would be a great blunder of the century.

No, America should annex Mexico. This could solve a lot of problems.

No, you cannot own property in Mexico unless you are a citizen.  Too bad the US didn't think of that 100 years ago, then the Saudis would not own our counrty.

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?

Hey!!! Are you  ok,,,You could walk to Mexico, not to the others countries. Do you mean that the US government should make their government pay for their transportation. Yes,,, I do agreed with you.. even though the US government had try it and those country have refused. Like China, they don't even accept their own citizen back and the USA get stuck with the illegal Chinese.

Or, what about Mexico annex what was once theirs?\n\nI think both ideas are ridiculous, but if we are going to fantasize, how about this:\n\nAt first it wouldn't be a State(s), it would be a territory or a protectorate, like Porto Rico or the Panama canal zone.  If we annexed Mexico it is possible it would never achieve statehood.\n\nYou mentioned the benefits of building an infrastructure, but the reality is that we have a failing infrastructure up here we would have to deal with first.  We have one of the worst infrastructures compared to all the other developed countries of the world.  Our train system has some serious catching up to do.  Most of our power plants are dated.  Dams and levys are falling apart what seems like every day (think New Orleans), our airports are over used and too small, our National Parks and other public Lands are desperately under funded, our public transportation is terrible, we dearly need a urban planning miracle, we are facing a future of drought, the list doesn't end.  But basically we can't seem to afford to take care of ourselves let alone another 107,000,000 Mexicans.\n\nYes we would gain the natural resources, but the reality is we already have them.  America has been exploiting Latin America's natural resources for more than 150 years.  Look at whats going on in Venezuela and Bolivia.  The US is pissed off because these governments aren't allowing the US to rape them anymore. \n\nAnd we already have the cheap labor, they come here.  And they stay cheap because they are illegal.  But imagine if we start paying another 107,000,000 people minimum wage (or more),  they wouldn't be so cheap any more now would they?\n\nThe old paradigm of controlling mass geographic space is becoming passe.  In fact it is very difficult to govern huge populations speaking different languages, sharing different cultures, expressing different political ideologies.  America is a very expensive venture indeed, and I am not sure it is the least costly model.  When you finally break it down buy cost analysis I am sure the independent Mexico model shows the highest net growth for both countries.  \n\nIt is even possible that our current country "as is" won't be able to afford to exist in its present form for very much longer.  What if we run out of gas?\n  \nCan you imagine trying to get 107,000,000 Mexicans to integrate in to the US way of life, fat chance.  Many of them don't even speak Spanish let alone English.

Sure, come to Peurto Vallarta, Mexico and come and get it. E-mail me at mamamia_123@yahoo.com I am NOT kidding.

I think eventually it will happen, though doubt in my lifetime.  I think we'd 'want' Canada first, but we might as well take Mexico first since most of them want to live here anyway ;)  Canadian's don't generally want to live in the US and pretty much see us as bully's.  Not sure what the general consensus is of Mexico, but the illegal immigration issues would suggest that they would support that idea.\n\n**  LOL  These answers cracked me up!  :)  We HAVE A donkey for president here in the USA - his name is Goerge W. Bush!  LOL  Nice one ;)

Sounds great to me! Except that will never happen. I'm not waiting for Mexico to do anything. Vicente Fox is probably laughing, sitting in his mansion with a strawberry margarita, a plate of hot enchiliadas, a few taco's, and carne asada burrito from Taco Bell, watching as his poor citizens run for OUR border!

I think we should just buy Mexico and make it a part of the United states, then we wouldn't have to worry about this border crossing/illegal worker crap!

It SOUNDS like a good idea,  but my concern would be corrupt officials who would cheat the people.  And that's not aimed at only Mexican officials, we certainly have our share of them here in the States. You can't hardly listen to the news without hearing about some corrupt official being busted. If we could work out a way to do it so the help really went to the people who needed it most, I'd say go for it! I would be willing to help, because strong neighbors are much better neighbors than those who are in need. It would, in the long run, benefit the entire American continents and countries.

Actually, there are some places in Mexico with large numbers of U.S. expatriates. If I remember correctly, in Mexicali, or in some other part of Baja California, there is a large community of retirees from the U.S. They go there, because the climate is pleasant and because the cost of living is low.

Absolutely! it would probably be at leat $99.95. But it will also never happen, but it's a great idea.
