Nah. Just annex all of Mexico so the whole country becomes subject to US laws and jurisdiction.

Just annex all of Mexico so the whole country becomes subject to US laws and jurisdiction.

Bad idea! Just giving all these poor people the Earned Income Tax Credit would bankrupt our treasury and that ignores all the other demands 100 million impoverished third worlders would make on our treasury.

And then there is the matter of politics. The former Mayor of Mexico city is the most popular politician in Mexico and the guy is a flaming socialist. You can count on the majority of these people voting Democrat because the Democrats can out-pander the Republicans every time and you can bet they'll be offering lots of freebies.

How many Democratic US Senators would you give Mexico? Based on a population of 100 million we could expect about 150 new Democrats in the House of Representatives.

Lets just guard our border.

They would all vote Democrat.

That sounds like a plausible deal.

Then all the fanatical left wingers will have a place to go.
