I’ve long suspected that our open border with Mexico was an attempt to keep Mexico from blowing-up. Now it will blow up.
You are absolutely correct. When Mexico revolts, the people will choose a version of Fidel Castro or Hugo Chavez, and this is precisely what the US ruling establishment fears. We will have a communist Mexico on our border with revanchist designs on what we took from them in the Mexican War of 1846. They will have strong support from their people on our side of the border as well, and we will end up with a combination of insurgency and outright war with our new communist neighbor to the south.
Worst of all, most people on this planet are non-white, and the global community will side with Mexico just as it sides with the Palestinians today. It will become very messy.
That's why they've used our open border as a safety valve.
Mexico is awash in natural resources, and clearly has people who will work very hard.
The fact that they are not far wealthier than they are speaks to unbelievable levels of graft and corruption.
