I thought that half of Mexico already had moved to the United States.
Of course, we could go down there and take half their country, just like we did in the 1840s. Then half of htem would be in the U.S. without having to have themselves smuggled in the trunk of some drug dealer's car.
We need to get them signed up for paying taxes!
...Of course, we could go down there and take half their country, just like we did in the 1840s...
If we grab the other half, maybe we could tax them in lieu of all the benefits they are now receiving. Makes sense.
What we're doing now makes no sense at all.
"Of course, we could go down there and take half their country, just like we did in the 1840s."
From what I've learned from Mexicans, they're attempting to take back the land that they lost in the Mexican-American war. Just as the Israelites are being forced to give up Gaza and the West Bank, the Mexicans want us to give back those territories we gleaned from them in the war.
