GREAT IDEA!! Ours would be just as "legal" as theirs. Then we could vote for Mexico's statehood into the US.
Maybe a slight problem with that idea... as the article states "...if they comply with other requirements...", such a s mandatory 2 yr military service for all males 18 yrs and older. I think the U.S. says that's a sure-fire way to lose your U.S. citizenship, ie- to serve under another country's flag...(I'm not sure how the UN gets away with it...)
