My question is: who cares what the Mexicans think about the Southwestern United States?

The leadership of both major political parties. That's why they pander on Illegal Aliens.

I suppose they consider it to be "occupied territories."

Why not? That's the lie that's worked so well in "palestine" and kosovo.

I'd be laughing if not for the fact that they probably do think that is the case. Better put a nip in this right away.

I'm open to suggestions.

Doing nothing will eventually lead to civil war here, as it has elsewhere.
