There’s nothing stopping that from happening now....except the Mexican government and a near genetic culture of corruption at all levels.

How many decades does Mexico get to grow up and evolve...what is stopping them now???

Mexico has far more mineral wealth, even than we do....and their location on the planet, with two huge coastlines in warm climates that should make Mexico the #1 tourist mecca on the Earth...what’s holding them back?

The US as Mexico’s relief valve, that’s what.

Yes. I agree with that. You may have seen it, but a few posts up thread I used the ‘relief valve’ (or another term meaning the same thing) term.

Yes, let the pressure build down there until something is done internally.

My suggestion we do something to help those people, was meant to suggest it would also help us. And why not help out people whose on government (seems to) spit on.

You can say the same thing about most of South America. What they have in common is Spanish heritage.
