Do you think since we have many Mexicans crossing the border each year we should just open the border or accept Mexico as a 51st state?

Many believe it would be a TERRIBLE idea, yet do you think it matters if NAFTA is giving all the jobs to Mexicans anyway as corporations build manufacturing industries over there anyway.

Please explain your opinion and for fun (if you may) show your version of what would happen in a twenty year period if Congress did approve open borders or ratified Mexico as the 51st state.

Texas was passively overtaken by Mexico, so we really have only 49 states. :wink:

Mexico would not let us make them a state without a FIGHT!

We might have to send a hundred Marines in there!

Okay I will start if off:


It is 2028. The biggest fast food joint is Taco Bell. Mcdonalds is concentrating more in Europe, Middle East, and Africa.

The national language is Spanish as it has been voted by Congress, which is now 50% Mexican. Many of the house of represenatives are spanish speaking also.

Spanish has become a priority to learn in schools and continues in College.

To become a US citizen one must study Mexican history also.

Cinco de Mayo has become officially a national holiday and extends for a whole week throughout the country.

A civil war occurs in various states as rebels try to fight for English and to keep the pledge of allegiance in English.

The first American president was born in Mexico and is allowing amnesty to all war thriving South American countries.

The population is 428 million people. Bicycles have become popular again on the streets.

While in Los Angeles, with all its international inhabitants,we joked that LA used to be part of the United States, then it became United Nations... then we finally dropped the "United"...scared

We learn much in American History about "manifest destiny" with regard to the U.S. takeover of the western territories.

So, why did the U.S. stop there? It's due time to start moving North and South making both Canadien and Mexican provinces states!
