Cool story. Can you explain why we should give a damn about the trade numbers if we lose the country with probably 2 or 3 million Mexicans a year pouring in?
Those numbers are meaningless if the great replacement of the US population happens here with Mexicans as it just did in Europe with moslems and Africans.
The history of the Americas is an interesting exploration. I’m not that
versed in the details. But 1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue is
a starting point for modern day history. However going backwards a
few millenniums in to what we can find becomes apparent that the
Europeans were very late comers to this part of the world.
An article detailing some theories about the history offers the following:

Today, the emerging theory is that the people up in the Bluefish Caves
some 24,000 years ago were the founders, and that they represent a
culture that was isolated for thousands of years up in the cold north,
incubating a population that would eventually seed everywhere else. This
idea has become known as Beringian Standstill. Those founders had split
from known populations in Siberian Asia some 40,000 years ago, come
across Beringia, and stayed put until around 16,000 years ago.
