I think it would have been better if Lee had won out on that. For one it was well before we have this massive welfare system and political correctness, they'd all be speaking English by now. They wouldn't have been made corrupt by 70 years of PRI government. Look at what becoming part of the US did for Texas and California. The rest of Mexico would have done much better if it had been taken over. It seems it's now Fox that is determining all the rules ---back then it would have been Americans.

It seems better late than never for many in Washington. It's looking more and more like they want us to merge with Mexico. IMO, it's too late. A poor nation of 100 million and growing, with corruption as much part of the culture as having babies, there's no way we could sustain them. The states with high numbers of illegals are financially straining now, and there's no end in sight. The border has to be locked down, illegals deported, and maybe, maybe a limited guest worker program. But only with the stipulation they go back home, their children are not automatic citizens, and they obey the rules of the country. Unfortunately, unless we get a Tancredo or someone like that in office, it's not going to happen.
