The ironic thing about all this “Aztlan” silliness is that 1% of the Mexican population, tall light-skinned descendents of the conquistadores, is rich beyond the wildest dreams of the other 99%, descendents of the indigenous population.
It would make far more sense for the peons in Mexico to revolt and run off their ruling class, rather than trying to turn this country into the third-world dungheap they came from.
The end result of that would probably ultimately be a hostile border, but defending that would be cheaper than subsidizing the 20+ million of them that are here now.
I agree, but I don’t see it happening.

This is as silly as that Jorge thing that annoys me, but if I could, I would capture every illegal that we could of course, but I would also give him one of our many guns that the police confiscate and 50 bullets or so before I sent him back into Mexico.
I like to think that it would change Mexico with revolution, or at least get the existing government to seal our border.
“It would make far more sense for the peons in Mexico to revolt and run off their ruling class, rather than trying to turn this country into the third-world dungheap they came from.”
That would probably happen if we ever shut off their “safety valve”. But until that ever happens, it’s far easier and more profitable for millions to just cross into the US illegally. And that’s just how their ‘ruling class’ wants it to remain on and on. And we have plenty in the US accommodating them, including in the WH and all around DC.
