If proximity = nationality then we need to grab up Bermuda, the Bahamas, Jamaca, Hispaniola, Cuba, Mexico and Canada and others.

Long as they don’t get statehood and and electoral votes and Congressional representation.

If you’ve never been to Bermuda, it’s an American colony in all but name. The American dollar is accepted at parity with the Bermuda dollar, without even batting an eyelash, they speak unaccented American English and most certainly welcome American tourists and treat them very well. (Of course, only citizens of Bermuda can buy property there.) The local accent is similar to Virginia or Maryland.

Before the U.S. even entered World War II there was a Marine Division stationed there, all the British troops went off to fight elsewhere, as part of lend lease. We lent them some old destroyers and they paid us by leasing us bases in their colonies near the U.S. (like Bermuda and Trinidad) so we could defend them until the War was over. (”If you go down to Trinidad, You gonna be very glad”,.. was about GI’s station in Trinidad getting over with the local women, after all.)
