"To put it bluntly, Mexico has hit upon a plan to solve its own Third World poverty by reacquiring the land Santa Ana gave away."

Problem with this 'solution' is that an part of the US that mexico might acquire would be turned INTO a poverty ridden part of the third world within a decade.

Of course. The third world isn't a place, it's a state of mind. Wherever there are third world people, there is the third world.

What they will do next, then, if we let them, is move north and eastward, like a plaque of locusts, devouring and destroying everything in their path.
