You’ve got that right. Mexico would undoubtedly align with China in about ten minutes too. We’d be looking at an armed camp in Mexico within a year or two.
It is time to face up to Mexico and deal with it. We are a soverign nation and either we surrender to Mexico, or we put an end to this.
If not China, they would certainly be open to working with Chavez. Can you imagine the Venezuelan lunatic in our back yard!
I'm not so sure about the "sovereign nation" part anymore, and we may have already surrendered, which is why Mexico seems to be certain they have every right to call the shots on this issue.
