"I'd like to see some major annexin' going on down in Central America. These small crack pot nations don't have the natural resources to support themselves leading to increased crime rates and gang related activity."
I bet most of the crime and gang activity is due to shitty governments and poverty, the consequence of said shitty government.
A solution to this problem, I guess, would be to invade them and instate better governments. The problem is, this would cost a hell of a lot of money, and, like every other government program, we'd end up paying for it somehow. So instead, we should just build a big wall on the southern border, and let them fuck each other up.
"Why don't we just annex them all, treat them like states (states rights people, they can have their own constitutions) and bring economic wealth to them?"
We don't have states' rights anymore, to speak of. The feds are pissing all over the constitution, and our system of government is deteriorating. I think we should handle our own problems before we go poking our nose in the business of others.
"Also it would help our oil problem with the middle east."
That's true. We'd still have to pay through the nose though. Do you really want higher taxes?
"Mexico? Well we wouldn't have any more illegals now would we?"
Of course not, because they'd all be in our country you dumb fuck. We have immigration laws for obvious reasons, and your solution is: "WELL LETS JUST MAKE ONE BIG COUNTRY FOR ALL OF US" which really doesn't address any of the reasons for said immigration laws, and thus is not helping. This is like saying if we just dumped all immigration laws, and opened up the border, we wouldn't have to worry about 'illegal aliens', since all the 'illegal aliens' would no longer be 'illegal' anymore.
