Do you think America and Mexico will eventually go to war?

Question

With all of the heated debate about illegal immigration, and the major financial and societal impact it will have once any decision is finally made...do you think that maybe America and Mexico will go to war over it?

Answer 1

Dear god I hope not, but anything's possible...we've all been the unwitting/unwilling subjects of someone's brilliant social engineering scheme as a result of poor border enforcement, and now that the numbers of illegal immigrants are on the increase each year, people are rightfully upset I believe at seeing the government mainly just decide to sit on its' hands.

A bright light on the horizon was that governor's meeting, I think, it shows that our southern states as well as the northern mexican states have decided to partner in managing the border,
working together to prevent future problems. You don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater, mexican people aren't evil, but some unscrupulous people on BOTH sides of the US/Mexico border have decided to take advantage of the unique challenges to law enforcement along the borderline to advance their personal and collective fortunes through drug and human trafficking, to name two examples, and a rising consensus is that it might be best to just go ahead and finish the border fence and regulate any/all traffic at border checkpoints, basically making it physically difficult if not impossible to do otherwise.

I think they said that like 500 people died in the desert trying to walk into the United States from Mexico last year. That's a tragedy all by itself. Preventing such tragedies is another good reason for building the border fence.

The bottom line here, is, Mexico needs to work VERY hard(they keep saying how good they are at that, well, let's see it) at building the infrastructure needs of its' people, starting with schools, because schools are where you can learn the skills necessary to support yourself even off a patch of bare dirt, given sufficient resources to do so. From self-sufficiency that way comes prosperity, and independence.

We're being sold a bill of goods on the border issue. Somebody's friends, brothers, cousins, in-laws what-have-you have vested interests in Mexico, and they want to 'sell' us on the idea of open borders with Mexico, saying all manner of things like we NEED Mexico, which is bullcrap, we don't need 'guest workers', even, that's just more globalist hyperbole. What MEXICO needs is some time to figure out its' own way forward, without a lot of 'help'
from anybody, and without this magnet of 'opportunity' to the north that keeps drawing away their own able-bodied workforce.

I fully support the idea of completing the border fence.1800, 1900, 2000 miles, however long it is, get it built, get it done, then, when illegal immigration's been slowed to a trickle at most, then offer to give some financial help to Mexico to help it get going.
But, get it ALL above-board, no more shady stuff, everything right out in the open, where it belongs, and no more people getting taken advantage of/used/abused/killed etc. In other words,(probably not entirely accurate, my spanish really sucks), 'no mas, por favor, a el immigracion illegal', and have parity in that sentiment from washington, to los angeles, from seattle to boston, and all points in between, kind of 'hands across america' but in this instance saying 'no more', not out of cruelty, but out of recognition that change starts at home, and Mexico and other countries will NEVER change unless they HAVE to...
Support the border fence
US Border Patrol
ICE
employer enforcement
state and local law enforcement

enforce the immigration laws properly and effectively, and there will be no illegal immigration problem...

1. Mexico stole the land it is now on, and it abused the people of that country so thoroughly that trusting Mexico is like having a pet, angrey, rattlesnake. 2. The United States did not steal the land it is on, and if you read most any of the Mexican History Books, you discover they agree. In addition, in those days, what happened was actually a very, very important and necessary security measure for the United States. Mexican Street talk history does it diffirently, and you will need to address that as you can. 3. They want a better life.. fine with me and they should really get to it. Mexico's corruption is beginning to wear thin on all the Mexican People.. not just poor. And please do trust me.. that IS where they are going to get their better life. 4. YOU may help Mexico all you want. Until the corruption is under control, and the border intrusions are old and faint in memory, YOU, and your help, may be all they get so far as I am concerned. Mexico has a problem.. American Taxpayers are human being too.. they want to spend their money on their own family. 5. Aztlan is a mythical place, and actually created by the prisoners in Texas Prisons. You need to get with a history book long and hard, and make sure the History Book is Mexican, and printed before 1970. Other wise, you will simply read the Castro version of Mexican History. 6. How many times have the Mexican Nationals threatened the United States over the last ten years? Dozens, and dozens of times... do it our way, or there will be very serious consequences. The guy that said that was on dope, and really, really should not hae done it. ====================== Any chance you could get this done today, or perhaps tomorrow?

Answer 3

No.

If there really are mass deportations, I can see the US giving aid, though.

I don't think we 'should need to' so don't jump all over me, but it might be easier for all, and cheaper and friendlier than war. EU does something similar as I understand it, sometimes.

What sticks in people's craw is that Mexico is not a poor country. It just doesn't share much with its poor.

Who knows what will happen with those here, however.

Answer 4

Believe it or not seeing as how a good portion of America is angered over our president NOT doing his job! War on terror BUT, let mexicans come and go right? Secure our borders!

America is pissed!

The only people for ILLEGAL immigration are those that are some how profiting off of it!!

Answer 5

I seriously doubt it.....We need each other and our govt.'s have no real bones to pick with each other....All the hype you here is just political and will blow over in time, remember this is a mid term election and these things always surface around that time.

It would be foolish to have a war over immigration. Its not worth the risk of too many lives. I think they will hash it out diplomatically and come to an agreement that suits both countries....I even believe one day we will share open borders with Mexico and Canada....

Don't let all the fear mongering scare you...

Answer 6

With so many Mexicans already in the US, an international corridor being built, and their need for better living conditions I doubt it. I'm more inclined to think the US would rather do away with the border and have Mexico and Canada become a part of the same country.

Answer 7

Not In A Traditional Sense (Hot War)

But, Believe It Or Not
Mexico And The US Are Already AT WAR

DEMOGRAPHIC WARFARE

Reconquista Is Real
And Its Happening
And Sleeping Americans Are Allowing It




The Potential For Violence Is VERY HIGH

Answer 8

Ridiculous and impossible, first of all because for the US it will be catastrophic have a war enemy right next to them, the damage cause by both countries could be extreme. second, if the US decide to attack mexico there are countries that are going to help mexico. and 3rd. mexicans wanna be americans, but they cant, why you think they come here ? to seek opportunities their homeland havent given them.

Answer 9

The mexican gov cares very little about most of its population. As in most countries like it, in mexico, 10% of the people control 90% of the money, and moneygets you power. Seeing as they have money, they dont care about the people below them who are starving, and therefore wont go to war to help those people.

Answer 10

I don't think so... Mexico doesn't have a chance. And by the time we would go to war, all the mexicans would already be in america anyway, so what's the diff? lol
