Reply #13: Purchase the 13th most northern Mexican states (and part of a 14th).

[ieoeja]

12 of those are, like our existing Rockie Mountain states, largely unpopulated. It would infuse much needed cash into the Mexican economy, shrink our southern border down to only 500 miles, and our states on the new southern border won't be full of people who get angry when someone speaks spanish.

I think 26 Mexican-American senators would help balance out the US Senate nicely....

And if they don't want to sell, well, they didn't want to give us Arizona either, now, did they?

:evilgrin:


Seriously though ... what everyone else has said. Add labor minimums (using Canadian model) and environmental minimums (using American model) to NAFTA. Then open the borders.
