Possible resolution to the immigration problem, what do you think?

Question

I have come up with a pausible solution that may be supported by many Americans. Here it is: Extend our borders to Panama, make Mexico a Territory of the United States, like we did with Puerto Rico and other providences. We already inadvertently have billions of American earned dollars floating their economy. We will increase economic trade, help with environmental problems, increase agriculture, education and viable space, not to mention the use of resources found south of our border. This also decreases the area of border between countries to patrol.

the feedback that most of you propose is quite negative. Yet I don't see any of you taking steps to not overtax our resources in this country to combat illegal immigration, with out literally causing crimes against humanity. We vote Tuesday!!!!! Research your candidates and make sure that they are speaking in favor of your opinions. These elected officials are YOUR VOICE!!! They will have an impact on immigration, enviroment, economics, education and our very ways of life. May you all see through the crap they feed you through the media and DO WHAT IS RIGHT, NOT WHAT IS EASY!

Answer 1

That's pretty good but as for as the resources we already have plenty of raw sewage, stray dogs, and prostitutes

Answer 2

Would you extend social security and other welfare benefits to this new sector of society that will likely debit more than credit those programs for the long-term?

Let's face it, the central American landscape is good for natural resources and cheap labor. Making it a territorial mandate or worse yet a state within the US is disastrous if you make everyone a citizen and grant them benefits under state and federal law.

It's time these banana republics move into the 20th (let alone the 21st) century and build up infrastructure, education and social programs that uplift the population's condition and faith in themselves. That's not America's job. We help more than we are able to or should. Thankfully the Panamanians are widening the Canal, so goods will be cheaper coming through and maybe then we can allay some of the labor cost pressures that force us to bring in illegals or ship out jobs. There's no easy fix, but that doesn't mean we should ignore the whole problem, or takeover another third of the hemisphere.

Unfortunately, the international corporations who are running the show benefit from the border, so forget it. This is how the minimum wage is kept down and how "the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer".

Another perspective to ponder is that if any other country did what illegal Mexican immigrants are doing they would be considered terrorists. They blatently state that they are just taking back what was theirs. (admitting they are a threat.)
They pump out as many babies as they can, just to get the benefits of legal citizenship, such as medical, food and housing. There is power in numbers. Now they are saying that there is not enough representation in legislation and they need to get more representation in legislative positions.

Time will unfortunately unveil the truth.

I don't mind legal immigration. These are people who refuse to speak our language and demand that we pay their way. We can't afford them and this further benefits the international corporations.

Remember, it's all about the almighty 'stockholder share value'.

Answer 4

I'M very happy you came up with this solution on your own,,, its a good thing i didn't revel the whole concept to you in my answer on the other page, i gave you just enough to get you some bad feed back, its clear you must be from the political arena looking for what new ideas you can steal because you have none of your own, politicians have only a one track mind they can't multi task without help,,, to steal is their main agenda,,, all the same helpless in other fields of judgment,, i am capable of cleaning up this country and ridding it of political bums, in one year i can make this country respected again, and not so messed up as the system is now, in time i will win and at that point you and 2000 more like you will be looking for a new job at K-MART where you belong,---- the days of the politician are soon to be a thing of the past.......... fearless leader.

Answer 5

But just imagine having to tackle the corruption in the Mexican government, the rampant poverty, the language barrier, the integration of the school system, and the myriad other problems that would inevitably present themselves. The negatives would vastly outweigh the positives.

Besides, Mexico has its own culture and identity, and it smacks of "manifest destiny" to suggest that we have the right to take over other countries.

Answer 6

why do you insist in being so stupid??
sorry but in all countries are nice and bad people, not all american are intelligent and respect the law, is the same in mexico i apreciate a lot people from the states i respect the law i like studing, i paid my bills, if you came to mexico and don't respect the law is because you are not an honest person.

Answer 7

Very funny. you cant even take care of your own territory, and want more?? its more easily that United states come to be a part of Mexico. actually, its already happening......

Answer 8

Not hardley. The corruption is so bad we'd be in a civil war. We're dealing with enough of their headaches already.

Answer 9

your kidding right? You ever been to Mexico? Good luck getting them to follow the laws of the U.S.. We would just end up in another civil war.

Answer 10

Never. We do not want Mexico and all of its problems. If we stop allowing illegals to come here, they will have to fix their own problems.
