It would solve our immigration problem; we'd have more resources; and we would actually be able to get rid of the cartels. Most Mexicans want to become Americans, so we would just be doing them a favor. We could be able to really crack down on the cartels that essentially control Mexico's government. As far as the concern of them resisting us, Mexico's army is pretty much non-existent, so we would win easily.
Also, it would prove our aggression to China. China's eventually going to try to collect what it's owed sooner or later, which would most likely be land as collateral. China has a much stronger economy than us, a larger population, and a soon to be larger military. There's absolutely no way we could win if we continue to let them carry on. China's an economic and militaristic threat to us. Especially economically. They could also just decide to collect on our debt to them any time and god knows we can't pay it back. Then they'll just take land as collateral.
>Most Mexicans want to become Americans No >We could be able to really crack down on the cartels No, listen Bob, the only way to end cartels it to put them out of bussines, legalize the fucking weed, your DEA its involved and they just make the situation worst, military doesnt not work against a group that does not value human life, they only care about money >Mexico's army is pretty much non-existent No army in this planet compares to the US military the fucking world knows this, that doesn´t mean we can´t at least kill a few americans, the fact that only infantry is involved in the drug war its because they are not like a regular military, they dont carry labels and muh human rights itrs preventing the army to go full on airstrikes on their ranches.
Chase Murphy
doesn't the cartel control a lot more than just weed?
I agree this guy is retarded but I don't think legal weed is gonna stop shit
>Mexico's army is pretty much non-existent They probably helped out more than your own army during the whole Hurricane Katrina incident.
Our army isn't just used for carpet bombing weak countries with freedom.
Caleb Perry
If it became so, Trump does not have to build the Great Wall.
Parker Richardson
Yes but weed it´s they major source of us cash. Is easier to deal with a poor criminal, of course they will move on to another crimes, like kidnaping or something, but cut hard on their savings will destroy their power to bribe entire police departments on isolated towns, of course it takes time but they will eventually fade out, as I said they don´t want mexican land, they don´t want to govern the country they just want money.

Just kill all the cartels and place drug laws that have the death penalty. That would solve most of mexico's problems

We don't need to annex Mexico but I think if our military is going to be butting into other countries we should be helping them instead of some camel jockeys on the other side of the planet.

Already in some parts of Mexico City, some parts of Montegay.
The problem is that the rest is the same old shithole
Alexander Long
If you haven't been living under a rock the last 20 years you'll find out that Mexico is annexing USA so the result will be the same. You don't even have to do anything (perfect deal for an American) and your wet dream will come true.
Cheers.

no it wouldn't chicano, then it would be legal to immigrate and people from mexican cities would just go to american cities legally

pls annex Canada

Why not Canada? They also beg for it since they have no pride for their country.

We'll just build a northern wall. Lord knows those SJWs will would fucking destroy this country.
Or just legalize drugs and allow them to go to usa, that way we can show it's always been usa's drug problem

This is idiotic. Last thing we need is to magically add 130 million people from a developing nation into our populace. If anything, we should annex Canada. Much easier.
Also, Mexico may not be able to match us militarily, but they have some seriously badass motherfuckers. Their elite marines have become Judge Dredd summary executioners, widely considered to be the only force left uncorrupted by Cartel influence.
Noah Anderson
Mexico would just become the shitty states no one wants to go to

We would Make America White Again (tm) and revitalize their economy.
Xavier Nguyen
It's not a problem that can be fixed. America has the worlds largest economy/market. Besides if we legalize weed the cartel just switch to a new income source. Whatever that might be. Honestly the problem has always been that Mexico is full of criminals.

4 things we need to do to make this work: 1. Make them remain in territory status 2. Mismanage it so much, that all the mexicans die off. 3. Let americans move in. 4. rename the gulf to the Gulf of Texas.
William Thomas
We could dig a canal instead and kill two birds with one stone.
Cameron Phillips
ok you "amerifat", mostly of the people in mexico hate Peña Nieto and his shiti economy. but that doesn´t mean we want to move to america. besides, california, texas, and other states were mexico.

Trust me, none of us want anything to do you with guys. We didn't put a gun to your head and make you cross our border with pockets filled with drugs. We didn't force you to come here on a plane with heroin pellets shoved up your ass. And when we granted your kind citizenship, you decided to bring drugs into our country. And then you have the nerve to call the republicans selfish racists that want nothing more than to sodomize the American flag. This is why everybody here fucking hates your guts. Don't cry when uncle Hose gets lynched by an American, because you selfish bastards brought it upon yourselves.
The United States of America. There's always more room for more stars on the flag.

The US does not have to take over Mexico, the two countries could join to become one country. The US needs the oil resources, it would improve the US agriculture so as not to be dependent on foriegn sources. The US population is 350 million, the Mexican population is only 100 million so it would not be a burden to take on Mexicans as citizens. Mexico should switch to using US laws since the US has a superior legal system (guilty till proven innocent lol). Mexican university graduates could get jobs in the US tech, pharmaceutical industries. Huge increase and improvement in tourism. Increase in living standards as more and cheaper homes are available.

Doesn't sound like a half bad idea

Not long ago there's this testing thing that's been brought in to Australian schools called NAPLAN. The Year 5s doing the test have to create an exposition/argument. What you've just posted OP seems a lot like something a 11 year old would set out for said test
Anthony Howard
What we should do instead is make a deal with Mexico whereby we take care of their cartel problem if we get to keep territory where we were involved. Then we just "involve" ourselves everywhere in Mexico.
Luke Murphy
nice trips shit thread
Angel Carter
It is not feasible because of the huge asymmetry between Mexico and its potential partners, USA and Canada. Nor is it because of how greatly incompatible the laws and visions of the three countries are. Even the differences between Canada and the US are abysmal. A union between unequals will always be unequal. I do not see how it would suit the US to carry an antidemocratic, backward, and corrupt Mexico dominated by crime, for example.
And I dont know if it is desirable because it is so possible that Mexico also has to assume the worst aspects of the US political organization (like the attack on unions and collective bargaining, not universal health care, etc.) as the United States end up absorbed by Mexican trickery and corruption, and Chapo Guzman ends up dispatching at the White House thanks to a colossal fraud orchestrated by the PRI/PAN/PRD using Trump or any other muppet.
Bad idea, isn't it?
Benjamin Watson

Jason Foster
Are you by any chance from other country than the U.S? Just curious.
And nice meme reply senpai.
Daniel Thompson
Actually, Mexico is slightly less fat than America(7% less). The only reason why they're skinnier is because it's hot as fucking hell and Mexicans are poor as fuck.
Liam Price
James Polk didn't want the entire country in 1848 when it only had 7 million people. Why would we want it now that it has 122 million?
Sebastian Miller

Does it really benefit us to absorb almost 130 million Third Worlders who live in mud huts and have never managed a functioning, non-corrupt form of government?
Wyatt Peterson

Daniel Myers
>besides, california, texas, and other states were mexico Err, no they weren't. In 1846, almost 90% of Mexico's population lived in the central area around MC. Literally nobody lived north of the Rio Grande but Indian tribes and a few Spanish-descended settlers.

Besides, what does that have to do with anything? There weren't Americans living there either. The Texan constitution was signed by people who had only arrived the year later. Several years before the Mexican government banned immigration from the US.

There were hotheads back then who wanted to take the entirety of Mexico but Polk completely rejected that. He said "It has never been our intention to absorb any significant non-Anglo population."
>A number of proposals have been made for a universal single-payer healthcare system in the United States, most recently the United States National Health Care Act, (popularly known as H.R. 676 or "Medicare for All") but none have achieved more than 20% congressional co-sponsorship.
"We have never dreamt of incorporating into our Union any but the Caucasian race—the free white race. To incorporate Mexico, would be the very first instance of the kind, of incorporating an Indian race; for more than half of the Mexicans are Indians, and the other is composed chiefly of mixed tribes. I protest against such a union as that! Ours, sir, is the Government of a white race. We are anxious to force free government on all; and I see that it has been urged ... that it is the mission of this country to spread civil and religious liberty over all the world, and especially over this continent. It is a great mistake."
Ryder Nelson
>A number of proposals have been made for a universal single-payer healthcare system in the United States I can bet without looking that all of those proposals came from far-left Democrats and their opinion doesn't count for much.
Parker Adams
During the invasion of Mexico, there was a fair amount of maltreatment of the civilian population by the enlisted men as well as vandalism of churches since most of them were Protestants who believed the Catholic Church were degenerated idol worshipers. Although the officer corps did not condone these actions and in fact tried to prevent it, the illiterate good ol' boy rednecks with muskets weren't going to...
Stop with this shit already, your country is way too big already. Russia, USA, Canada, Brazil, China, etc, way too big countries. It looks bad on the map, which should be more interesting to the eye with smaller nations.

If anything, the invasion of the Mexican heartland and the occupation of their capital by a foreign army was probably more humiliating than the loss of territory they never really controlled in the first place.

We should never ever legalize drugs unless you have it that it's only legal to obtain pharmacy-grade stuff with a license.
