If Mexico goes communist our border problem is solved. Communist countries bordering free countries build walls to keep their subjects in.

Of course, Mexico wouldn't do it because they need the billions that illegal aliens send back to their home country.

So long as our border is an open sieve there will be no communist revolution in Mexico. The comparatively rich, capitalist North is a better alternative for the Latino oppressed.

I've always maintained the US was worried Mexico would go Communist. It's one of the primary reasons we have never closed off the border. As long as the would revolutionaries were allowed to leave they would not stay to fight.

One thing is for sure. If Mexico was a Communist state. There would be no debate about a Israel type wall.

This won't happen. Since Mexico gains more from remittances their citizens send back from the US than they make from their tourism industry, they are not going to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. They will however probably invite the US Banking industry representatives, and other businesses working in Mexico, to join the communist party there, in order to do business with them.

Communists are embracing the "free traders" these days, doncha know. "Free traders" are enabling them to gather power, and it is enriching the party leaders with wealth they never imagined.

How soon will America fall after that? When our business leaders join the communist parties of various countries, as they have been invited to do in China, how long can America stand as a free nation?

I agree. The immediate problem will be the Mexican refugees that come North before the Mexican Communists can finish their wall. As for the US, I hate to say it, but Mexico going communist for a decade would be the best for the US and the worst for the Mexicans.

When the "Peoples Republic of Socialist Mexico" implodes, the Mexicans will beg for statehood. We've gone as far West as we can and still be on the North American Continent. North is undesirable because of the Canuck Frogs, so South is the direction of the future.
