Some say the problem is illegal immigration has left America broke, and it has.
[FONT=&quot]Immigrants flood into America and take American jobs while they burn American taxpayer funds for immigrant welfare.

[/FONT] "A lot of folks think the solution is to round up all the illegal immigrants and truck them down to Mexico. Wrong. Even if it were logistically possible and the deportees didn't just climb off the truck and hitch another ride back up north, their absence from the country wouldn't come close to saving enough tax dollars to balance a budget that has a $42-billion hole, reported by the U.S. Treasury Department", January 2010, CNNMoney.com.
What is the solution? The solution I propose is to open talks with Mexico about joining the United States. We will still hold elections for the President and two Vice Presidents, one for established America and one for Mexico.
As a part of the Union, America will spend billions developing the infrastructure. Schools, universities, hospitals, medical facilities, clean water and filtration systems, housing, road systems, implementing social services; creating jobs and ending the recession. As a result of implementing American wage and labor laws, taxes will be withheld from wages, registration for the military can be enforced, licensing and insuring drivers will not be prohibited because of a technicallity.
If the estimate of 15 million illegal immigrants is correct and I divide that by four, I estimate a family of four with one working adult, base it on an annual income of $25,000 and use a tax bracket of 33%; It brings a tax income of almost $31 trillion dollars, and that’s not even including the population currently in Mexico that could be employed and taxed.

mexican people have an expression, haciendo carabana con sombrero ajeno. it means making flourishing gestures of hospitality (the french renaissance hat gesture) with somebody elses hat.
we no longer have the power or money to bail out other countries we just write IOU's to the chinese. and if we are not careful the drowning mexican labor force is going to take us to the bottom as well.

I think we should annex Mexico. Its kind of like when we annexed Florida. The seminoles were harassing us directly. The drug cartels are indirectly harassing us. We could dealwith them directly with our military. We would have a shorter border to control on the south. The Mexicans that havent immigrated to the US are also willing to do the jobs that americans dont think they should do. We would have more access to oil in Mexico and thus lower gas prices. Mexico if the some of the problems get cleaned up could experience great amounts of tourism even though they already do. These are a few of the many reasons to annex Mexico.

We already have annexed half of Mexico.

1. Arizona
2. Texas
3. Parts of Colorado
4. Nevada
5. New Mexico
6. Nevada
7. Utah
8. Parts of Okahhoma
9. Parts of Kansa
10. Parts of Wyoming

Excerpt:


The whole states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, as well as parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas.

The original US-Mexico border was defined by the Sabine River north from the Gulf of Mexico to the 32nd parallel north (32°N), then due north to the Red River, west along the Red River to the 100th meridian west (100°W), due north to the Arkansas River, west to its headwaters, north to the 42nd parallel north (42°N), and finally west along that parallel to the Pacific Ocean.

Texas was lost during the Texas Revolution (1835-1836). The territories of Texas at the time included present-day Texas, as well as those parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming described above.

During the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) Mexico lost all the remaining territories, including present-day California, Nevada, Utah and the rest of Colorado as well as most of northern New Mexico and Arizona. Also at the end of the war Mexico was forced to cease any attempt on reclaiming Texas. This is also known as the Mexican Cession (1848).

Finally, during the Gadsden Purchase (1853), Mexico sold parts of southern Arizona and New Mexico to the United States. This was the only peaceful purchase of land made from Mexico

Suppose Mexico decides to annex the United States first. Does Canada get to resolve the dispute, or does it go directly to the U.N.?

Illegal immigration benefits the cognitive elite of the United States - and not just through lower wages for unskilled and semiskilled labor. It splits the national underclass/working class into groups that are quite hostile to each other in that perennial, ethnic way. This is the classic Divide et Impera, Divide and Reign, keeping the toiling masses weak and hostile to each other, thus preventing such unpleasant thing as unionization, welfare state/massive social spending and other things that the cognitive elite has to pay for.

The United States while being close to 90% white once had a top income tax rate of 90%. JFK lowered it, but the rich will never forget that in the 1950's they were fleeced by white working class-elected politicians. These days, the working class is multiethnic, divided, weak and poorer than it was in the 1970's. The rich have won.

The white working class, when toying with nationalism/fascism, is often bewildered as to why rich whites in America are so hostile to their interests. Yeah, they remember the 90% income tax rate.

It seems that is what Mexico decided to do. They're annexing us, not the other way around.

WHY on earth would anyone want America to grow bigger ??? Why would you want to destroy someones culture ??

Don't you realize the bigger a nation becomes the LOWER the quality of life drops. Do you like socialism ?? do you like having an army so powerful that the citizens of that country are held hostage by the government ??

I see Canada, Mexico and the USA being one Union after the dollar collapses.
