America's "Manifest Destiny" should also go north and south. We should annex all the land in North and South America.

right so now instead of policing the world, its our job to feed the world and give them free healthcare and other government goodies while the rest of us have to pay for it.

Oh and let me guess.....tax the rich for it.

So, let me get this right, you complain about poor brown people coming across our borders illegally because they're "undocumented Democrats", but you support annexing Canada, Mexico, and Central America, adding millions of new Democrats to the voter rolls? You didn't think this one through, did you?

and why does the American tax payer have to foot the bill because Mexico takes us for granted and won't change its policies? Hell half our jobs are in mexico.

No. We should keep our borders as is. Unless of course you'd like to be lumped in as a tyrannical empire like the NAZIs were, the old Soviet Union or other tyrannical regimes in history? And yes, our military COULD feasibly wipe out the drug cartels, however; our government including LE and the Prison Industrial Complex make too much money off of the fake a** war on drugs!

There are many "humanity problems" on the earth today. How many is the USA responsible for that occur outside our borders?

Where do you draw the line (if you draw one)?

Yes, food aid should never be cut. Military and cash aid need to stop, but not food. That is the moral thing to do, and is good for diplomatic relations.
