If we simply added the 31  Mexican states  to our 50, we'd HAVE a wall, prebuilt along our southern Border with Guatemala and Belize.
And the Mexicans will have happily PAID for it already.
 All we need to do is  hand out 500,000  or so pocket constitutions, and  teach them the conversion  ratio from Liters to Gallons... I see no  other major difficulties.
.

Fuck that, we already have Texas and even they only want to be USA when it's convenient for them.

If we annex it, we're now responsible for it.

No thanks.

Says the guy in Alaska.

We could ship everyone in Mexico up to Alaska as plenty of room up there.

Put Bugs Bunny on the border.

OP gets high at the Sherwin Williams store.

WTF OP?

Do you really want the Dems to win in two years and for life?

Why dont you just go to the DU and move to Mexico

we should give the southern half of texas to mexico.  that way we can build a straight wall.

You really want the entire population of Mexico voting in our elections?  

Dumb idea.

I am sure OP is not serious.  He does, however, illustrate the hypocrisy of the Mexican anti-wall rhetoric.

I have spent quite a bit of time south of the border and vast majority of people there have an anti-capitalist FSA mentality that is far beyond most of the leftists in the US.

The biggest problem with Mexico is it's full of Mexicans.  Other than that it's a wonderful place.

Hundreds of millions of welfare recipients.
Entire regions overrun by dope runners.
Enough murders & kidnappings to make Chicago look like Club Med

No thanks, they can keep it

Turning Texas blue wouldn't be enough, so turn Mexico into a state to cement a future United Socialist States of America.

Name of mental institution OP resides in?

Looks like several people jealous of Texas from MO and PA.

Nonsense, the   barrel of Toluene is for mixing into my RACING fuel.

(Now quit following me around )

Jealous of what? Your shitty gun laws and your droughts?

Don't have to make them a state, just an occupied territory. I'm sure most of the cartel trash will be shipped out in the war.

are you drunk again?        

Gun law specifics?

Plenty of rain.

You know not of what you speak. Maybe a closet climate changer coming out you are.

I did NOT say we should let them VOTE, fuck...  That would be silly.
  Allow Mexico to be like a giant PuertoRico, you now Make Mexico  Semi-Great.

. It's like getting an INSTANT WALL, you just  have  80 million people  in the middle, no big deal.

You mean north Mexico?

Looks like MO is having a little drought of their own....

That would be like marring a fat ugly chick with 8 kids from 8 different fathers who has never held down a job and is a career criminal that wants to kill you.

NOPE

You wouldn't get an instant wall... you'd just make the wall a moot point as all the crap you were trying to keep out of the country with a wall would now be in the country.

Seriously... just like PR?

You know Puerto Ricans are American citizens, right?   They can move anywhere in the USA at will, no visa required.  

Trying to keep Mexicans out of the USA?  Conquest would erase the border entirely.  Congrats.

Annex Baja.

Make it a buffer zone.



There are only about 2.5 million people there

Easily defendable.

2000 miles of coastline

Awesome off roading and hunting

You would be shocked at the large number of conservative mexicans.

I know more mexican americans that voted for trump than hilldog.

Get rid of most of the welfare. Tariff the shit out of chineese products. Use that money to build infrastructure in baja. Already has deep water ports.

OP I like my idea better and that is to drive them all down and across the Panama Canal and make that the new US border. We could defend that with the Coast Guard.

Absorbing Mexico makes as much sense as making Puerto Rico a state.

The 1840s were the time to do this.

ETA although I am in favor of amnesty for any Latin American woman age 18-35

How about:
 Ship all the Mexicans to Canada, Re-settle the Canadians in the  "Mexican Territories"... The Canadians get to hang at the beach, surfing, sailing and drinking beers....
 The Mexicans get the high paying oilfield, petrochemical and construction work....  AND
 We have an instant WALL, at the southern Border of the MEXICAN Territory...

Everyone's happy..

Prima Taco

Having been to the Mexico/Guatemala border, I can assure you all that there is no fucking wall there.

You’re right.  Were going to have to kill them first. Good call.

You fuckers need to visit california. There are taco trucks on every other street corner, some in front of taco restraunts. I see more mexican flags than american.

Trumps operation Wetback 2.0 can't come soon enough. The media tells you guys the men work hard and the women are beautiful but in reality the men are lazy thieves and the women are fat liars.

Wut?

Fuck making them states. Make them a semi-autonomous territory like Puerto Rico. Give them no representation or voting privileges, when they prove themselves competent they can petition for statehood.

OH yeah, annex Mexico and complete the reconquista for them and then some.  How about NO?

well.... Damn it... there SHOULD be.
.
 Guatemalans going to  steal all the  JoBS down there.

I actually think that we could straighten out Mexico.

We could turn it into a powerhouse and people would leave here to go there.

But if they are to lazy to fight for their own country I doubt they would appreciate our help and it would probably fail.

They need a second amendment to make it work.

All y'all are missing the real point here:

This is actually genius. You want Mexico to build that wall, and have them pay for it?

Think about it: What's the biggest thing going in Mexico? The lock the ricos have on running the place. They've been using us as an escape valve, for years. Want 'em to stop? Easy-peasy, my friends:

Put the offer out there on the table for any of the Mexican states to leave Mexico, and join the US. Point out that we've got a huge chunk of Mexico's citizenry already here in the US, so why not cut out the middleman, and offer to take America to the Mexicans, so they can have whatever they're seeking here in the US at home?

Point out that since Mexico's government obviously ain't answering the mail for most of their citizens, why shouldn't Mexican states leave that federation, and join one that most of their citizens are already gravitating towards? Let's not build a wall here, or bring Mexico to America, let's instead take America to Mexico...!

Watch what happens right after that shit goes out, and the Mexican oligarchs realize we're serious. They'll build a fucking wall at the border so goddamn fast that your head will spin, and Carlos Slim will pay for it all, just to make abso-fucking-lutely sure that they'll never have to worry about losing power. I'm serious, here, too--Don't annex, don't build a wall, just offer sweet, loving kindness, and the chance for Mexican states to join the Union, as much of their population already has. While we're at it, point out that Alberta is really a much better fit in the US than it is in Canada, and offer to take in anyone who feels like joining the union a good deal.

Watch heads proceed to explode in Ottawa and Mexico City, make a few bowls of popcorn, and enjoy the show.

Guaran-damn-tee you that it never happens, but both our neighbors will immediately straighten the fuck up and fly right. And, even if I'm wrong, and Chihuahua takes us up on the offer, what the hell have we lost?

I think we need to be a lot more open-minded about expanding the Union, to be quite honest. We just have to be careful about the rules, and how we do it, so that we don't swamp ourselves in left-wing idiocy. Work things right, and most of those Mexican campesinos would be pretty good citizens, and a lot less likely to do stupid shit than our own overly-educated dumbasses are.

Hell, it might be inevitable anyway. Might as well embrace it, and try to control it.

Won't happen, but very interesting

Don't annex Mexico. Start using the Polonium-210 treatment until you get a regime that will toe the the damn line.

Let it go man.  It's better to have more people not like TX.  I've met two guys from MO in person.  One said to me "If you don't want to pay for my college then you want me to be uneducated."  The other claimed to be a conservative and then said "We should have TSA type security checkpoints on every street corner in America."  Then, he doubled down on stupid and said nobody should be allowed to own or carry a firearm for protection but everyone should be obligated by law to intervene and try to stop a violent crime.  Do you really want people like that to think well of Texas?  Says me:  Keep 'em ignorant and keep 'em away.

Forget a wall. Build a huge ass canal from texas to california. A huge Aquifier that brings water from east to west.
