What???!! I was with you up to that one! What do you mean, "one big country"?! We have an expansionist history. In Polk's time we stopped where we did because we didn't want the burden of a large Mexican population. We seem to have less of a choice today.

We wouldn't be expanding, we'd be surrendering.

You can't have stable expansion unless you're willing to kill/subdue the current occupants of Mexico and colonize it with English speaking Yankee governors and ubermenchen, and loyal legions (not hired local mercanaries) to maintain the new piece.
Are you willing to pay the price?
