Trouble is American's are not allowed to work or own property in Mexico except for some narrowly defined exceptions. If we simply give California to Mexico us Californian's would have Mexican Citizenship and could, therefore, go anywhere in Mexico and work and own property. There are some lovely beach front homes there I'd love to own, and at reasonable proces. As for statehood, Mexicans would never stand for that, becoming part of the country they've hated and envied for centuries.

Actually I have given that some thought..give Mexico back California.Arizona, Texas and New Mexico..set hard borders at the state lines.. That would cut them all off the US dole

We don't ask them, we annex them.
