This is hypothesis, but I believe if this invasion were taking place, say under a Andrew Jackson or Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt administration, things would be playing out much differently. Let’s say they decided to deport them. They’d be dropping ‘em in the heart of Mexico city with arms to kill off the regimes. Or more likely, they would have NEVER stood for a foreign country imposing it’s will on us and encouraging it’s citizen to break our laws. Not saying any one of them couldn’t have been bought off. Maybe, maybe not. Lincoln’s Free Soiler cabinet would have wanted Mexico for settlement. They wanted it all.
Who knows how it would have gone, but I can assure you we wouldn’t be printing everything in every language or let them march by the millions in our streets carrying a foreign flag. No way.
