Mexico is Soon to be a Bigger Problem

“In other words, Mexico is an utterly corrupt, inept, and incompetent third world toilet.”

Exactly.

My brother has a friend, a 2nd LT in the USAF, who was born and raised in Mexico, but became a citizen, joined the USAF as an enlisted man, went to college, and became an ozzifer. He stated the Mexican people don’t trust their leaders AT ALL, because, regardless of party, they have paid bribes, etc to “get there.”

Truly sad.

“When Maxine discovered toilet paper for the first time, she screamed because she thought she was melting!”

Well, you have to give her SOME credit. The stupid, racist biotch’s brains were melting!!!!!

So ANWR is about the same size in area as South Carolina. Thanks, I didn’t know that.

Is the little red square where they want to drill?

[Red_Devil 232]

The little red dot is where we want to drill! Amazing is it not?

[upchuck]

Thank you again.

Not allowing drilling there is the height of ignorance and stupidity.

I lived south of you in Imperial Beach from ‘80-’82. I was glad to get out of there even way back then.

I’m not scared. I know congresscritters like Maxine Waters will have the answers to solve these big problems.

Mz Waters has cleverly observed how well the oil industry is working in Mechico, so she wants to duplicate the Pemex success story here by nationalizing the US Oil companies.

Isn't it a bootiful thang how we always elect the brighest and the best? /sarc

Mexico has been a problem since 1821. We've fought 2.5 wars over it, and the fragile entente which began in the 1920s has collapsed.

The most disturbing thing about Mexico is that we do not have a clear Mexico policy, at least not one that anybody can understand.

Do we want Mexico as a colony?

Do we want to admit the states of Mexico to the union?

Do we want to occupy Mexico for 50-100 years, and civilize it?

Do we want a nation-sized Gaza strip, simmering behind a wall?

Congress debated Mexico policy incessantly from 1821-1861. If anybody in Congress respected American nationhood and American sovereignty, they'd be debating it again, right now.

Yes, it is. What do you want to do about it?

Our congresscritters are going to allow this illegal invasion to go full stroke in another year from now, no matter who wins the White House. It’s all about wielding social services power over a massive voting demographic, reminiscent of FDR and LBJ’s socialism. We think we have it bad now? Wait until we have a couple of million illegals a year storming across the border in to escape their repressive regime and the drug gangs. Mexico is a 3rd world s*&thole and it’s about to turn the US into one as well.

That is a somewhat dark summary, but more or less true. It is beyond foolish to ignore this huge physical and historical FACT of illegal immigration and Mexican corruption.

OTOH, there is no obvious way forward out of the morass, except closing the border, and we know how impossible that is.

[rottndog]

Yes, it is. What do you want to do about it?

At the very least, have national leaders who are willing to escape the pc fascism and discuss Mexico honestly in those terms.

Closing the border is expensive, and there's a good argument to be made that it would make the situation worse in 30 years.

I would rather we conquer and reform Mexico that create a Gaza strip with a population of 100 million.
