I think Vicente may be thinking of trading in the presidency of Mexico for the presidency of the United States.
And it's not a bad idea. After all, he has proven to be very effective at sealing his southern border from unwanted illegal immigrants. But more importantly, he has proven to be a genius at moving his population northward. I think it is a time for him to provide the same leadership for us.
Americans have always needed new frontiers to explore and develop. Ever since we made it to the Pacific there has been a sense of completion to our story. As Frederick Jackson Turner argued: "The existence of an area of free land, its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement westward explain American development."
But why only westward? Why not Northward? Perhaps it is time to unleash our restless frontier spirit. Where better than to Canada? And who better to lead us than Vicente Fox?
After all, Canada is virtually empty. There are less than 30 million Canadians in over 3.9 million square miles. It's bigger than the United States and largely undeveloped. Plus, bin Laden doesn't seem to care about Canada. We will no longer be in the bull's eye. Let the Mexican/New Americans deal with him.

Exactly, I called my congress women. today and encouraged them to just adopt the mexican immigration laws, and we would be all set..no racism, it would please our adopted president fox, and no more marches in the streets supporting illegal immigration
Very good, Tony ~ Bump!
I know before reading this it's going to be good. I'm a big fan of Mr. Blankley.
Thanks, AQ, for posting!!
I like warm weather better. We should all emigrate south instead. Then we can call the mexican government racist for their policies on immigration.
LOL....Good one..I like it ;)

"We Americans could build the malls, golf courses and high-tech corridors that Canadians refuse to build. No civilized people care about technical borders anymore. It's so possessive and stingy. Only fussy Canadian nativists and xenophobes will complain that Canada is theirs. Yeah? You and what National Guard? There are 300 million of us and only 30 million of you. Get used to it. Plus, we already speak your language. Or, technically, we both already speak England's language. "
You're welcome. I especially liked the part about future generations moving across the Bering Strait to bring American values to Siberia and then Europe.
But you forget that Algore, who knows all, says that within 8 years Canada's going to begin warming up. But I guess you could just have a summer house there!
Tony Blankley ping!!
Siberia!? I've heard some FReepers have been sent there already!!
Just kidding...
No, you're right--they're our shock troops! They set up their banning in order to go deep cover.
He forgot to mention that Canada has barrels and barrels of oil. Why invade Iraq for oil, when we could easily invade Canada?
I was thinking that we should demand a seat at the table in Mexican government since we are providing so much of their economic resource. It seems to me that we have bought a seat at their table. We should co-govern that country.
Oh.... okay.
;^]
Now that Canada is more conservative than the US, he's got a point... Particularly if the libs who moved their after Bush got re-elected are coming back to avoid Harper.
What did I tell you? Quit playing with your food.
*sigh*
As long as our first act is to seal its (Mexico's) northern border.
Nova Scotia is looking good to me.
