Should the United States and Mexico take steps to merge the two nations into one?...

But only is Mexico and the UK (our little foreign, European colony that speaks funny English) become the 51st and 52nd states. No way we could screw them up any worse than they already are...

Can't wait to see the comments I get on this...

LOL

Why would we want a corrupt 3rd world crap ho;e as part of the US. I have lived and worked down there and want nothing to do with that failed nation

We already have most of their people, what else would we need but the tequila distilleries.

IT HAS BEEN TH DREAM OF THE DEMOCRATS SINCE THE '60S

NO, NO, NO

We need a 100 mile DMZ on their side of the border.

That would be a part of Agenda 21.

eventhough its damm close to that already we should both fix our own countries

No, but it is already set up to do so in the future.

After reading the responses many people don't understand why it would happen. Like the European union brought many countries under a common gov, so would we. It would be much easier to meld the unions together to make a global government over all nations.

I just remembered this EO and the North American Union

NAFTA...still a bad idea that no one wants to admit

NO Were going broke now.

Good Lord !!! I can just see dictator obama now...

If they can't get their government and cartels under control, we certainly don't need to meld with them. It's bad enough we can't seem to keep five year old Mexicans from sneaking across our border.

Talk of a North American Union, working behind the scenes to create it, and even talk of a common currency have been on the table for years. Of course, it went through the "conspiracy theory" stage, where people denied it, but now it's out in the open. The super highway through the center of the country, disappearing trade barriers, no respected borders, etc. I could see an invasion and coup in Mexico by the United States before a peaceful agreement, as the people of the U.S. wouldn't go for it I don't believe. We already have no say, making the "union" bigger and the government even more out of touch and gigantic isn't something most of us want I would think.

I don't know how it will play out but it is in the works. It will happen at some point. I agree with you.

We can't afford it. Although I can see giving Mexico certain southern sections of our nation which shall remain nameless...

Mexicans don't want to merge with America. Are you seeing this from an American point of view or from a Mexican point of view?

I broke out laughing when I read the question. I'm not an American or a Mexican but do you think Mexico would hand itself over lock, stock and sombrero to the U.S. after the long nasty history your two countries have had together. Yes I'm sure the drug cartels would love to be able to ship their drugs north without having to go across a pesky boarder and I'm sure the U.S. government would love the fact that it would completely solve the illegal alien problem as they now would be all Americans.
Sorry but your stuck with the size you are in North America and have ZERO chance of expanding because as patriotic as Americans are you will find the Mexicans love their country equally and if you look north of your boarder the Canadians are the same.

I don't doubt the stat. But what I'm saying is if you dropped the boarder tomorrow you would have a large amount coming into the States but the majority of the 111 million Mexicans wouldn't have any interest in moving to the U.S. They love their country equally as much as you love yours and would not have the slightest interest in handing it over to a foreign country.

I travel in the States all the time on holidays the people are nice, the country is great, your government is a bit weird (but that's your problem), and I enjoy the trip but I have no interest in moving their. That's not a knock against the U.S. its just that I love my country (Canada) just as any American loves theirs. Any attempt at amalgamation in North America would be seen internationally as the big bully beating up on the little guy and results would be disastrous.

I would be totally shocked if they did vote yes I guess its because I know if they ever did run a referendum or poll on the subject in Canada it would never pass.

I know the Turks and Caicos in the Caribbean has been trying to join Canada for almost a hundred years but the Canadian government has been reluctant on the idea as they feel Ottawa would look too much like a neocolonial power. Personally I think it would be a hell of an idea to have a Province in the Caribbean great for vacations.

We already have enough food-stamp recipients, murders, gang-bangers and drug dealers from that country we don't need anymore although I'm sure o-bama would love the votes.

Why? So we can have 100,000,000 more people using EBT cards?

And we'll have to add another 112 million people to Obamacare not to mention all the other social programs. Just think about all the new bureaucracies this will spawn. I can't think of a worse plan.

Their Croney-Capitalism has ruined them. Once a great Republic, Mexico has become like most other Lati American countrys. An exercise in Feudal Politics, the most corrupt kind of system.

They already have, Mexico controls our executive branch.

Should have been other.

I have actually thought of this as a solution to the illegal immigrant problem.

What we could do is annex mexico and make half part of california and half part of new mexico.

We get rid of the crooks and dope dealers from both countries.
Mexico gets hot dogs we get tacos
Mexico gets Jennifer Anniston we get Selma Hayek
Mexico gets coors light we get corona

We might have a shot at a judeo christian majority again in this country.

There is some serious merit to this idea. The key is kicking all the crooks in both countries out.

You think we have problems now? Please, the drug cartels would take over. Our POTUS is giving tIhem guns, what do you think they would do if we had open borders? We have enough Mexicans living off our taxes. That would just make it worse. Sorry if that sounds harsh but as it stands now Illegals have more rights in AMERICA than AMERICAN CITIZENS. When an American Citizen can't get SS or SSI or help from Welfare but the illegals get cash and foodstamps something is very wrong.

Undecided actually. We did it once in 1846 and got a big chunk of it, maybe we should try again.

Mexico is a third world nation; if we annexed them they would just drag us down.

But would Mexico be willing to do that?

Absolutely no.

But let them vote to become a U.S. Territory first.

As though we don't have enough people already feeding from the government tit...
