Trying to find a tar baby are you?

Did you read the link? What is your real reason for a knee jerk reaction to being against more States in the Union?
-- Would you object to Canadian States joining us?

You are the one who wants to talk about some fantastic scheme for Mexican statehood rather than the destruction of our sovereignty by the FTAA and OAS. If you want more states in the Union why don't you start with Puerto Rico?

Oh yeah, because THEY DON'T WANT TO BE A STATE!

Guess what? NEITHER DOES MEXICO!

They want to leech of our system without having to contribute to it. It won't hurt their "pride" either because us yanquis stole all this land from them to begin with! It's only just that the ill-gotten gains of the racist American empire be redistributed to their rightful owners: THE BRONZE NATION OF AZTLAN!
