States? Would that solve the problem of illegal immigrants?

Nope, it would only increase the burden of the tax payers even more, because the entire Mexican 'state' would have to be brought up to standards in sanitation, health care, building codes, transportation, and education, not to forget law enforcement and government. Simply relieving the illegal immigration problem wouldn't save us nearly enough bucks in our annual budget to be able to enforce such a transition.

Actually Texas and the whole southwestern US below Oregon use to be a part of Mexico. It became a part of the US following the Mexican American War in 1848. Much, if not all, of the rest of the US was annexed during the various "Indian Wars"--Wars with constituted existing nations. Perhaps the fact that we DID annex half of Mexico is a part of the problem.

Well, apart from the obvious fact that the Mexicans might have something to say about suddenly losing their country.....and no, just because some of them cross the border it doesn't follow that they all want to be American.
Most of them are probably quite happy to be Mexican.
The other problem is that all it would do is move the problem....there would still be a border and people would still try and cross it.
They'd just come from another country south of Mexico.

GENIUS
Just by your question does it tell me that you as others have NO idea that those that have to come here is not because they do not love /like their native land. But out of need for individual family prosperity. Those that are well to do come and go daily by jets,airlines,or cruise,and so on! So really the 12-15 million known of undocumented struggling Mejicanos is just a minority of Mexico's populated wealthy.

Mexico does not want to be annexed. They are still sore about losing the Southwest to the US in the Mexican American War.

Well, they wouldn't be /illegal/ anymore. It would introduce a 'new' problem of massive poverty and corruption in the several newly added states, however.
