Who would support annexing Mexico to become a U.S. territory like Puerto Rico?

Question

Considering the mass migration of Mexicans into the U.S. is acknowledgment of the failure of Mexican government to govern and tend their own peoples - and considering the vast majority of money paid to immigrants by employers in the U.S. goes back to Mexico anyway - why not annex Mexico as a U.S. territory like Puerto Rico?

The U.S. is by the vast opinion of immigrants, run far better than Mexico - otherwise we would have no mass migration of immigrants here into the U.S.

Big business in Mexico is a puppet of the U.S. gov't anyway.~

Without the U.S. the parasite known as Mexico would wither and die anyway.

Answer 1

Yeah that's what we need, a whole country to take care of and support. Deport illegals NOW and build a bigger fence.

Answer 2

"why not annex Mexico as a U.S. territory like Puerto Rico?"

What purpose would that serve? The "Commonwealth of Mexico" would only have representation in the House of representatives, and would have no real sway in American Politics. Plus with the corruption in Mexico there is no way that will happen

What the US needs to do is take control of Mexico and annex each Mexican province as a state into the union. That way the Mexican people have full representation in the government, and would be more supportive of our 'reacquisition' of Mexico.

Given the corruption in Mexican politics, the government would have to be completely rebuilt. And the most efficient means is by bayonet (Mexican-American War)

Given the poor standard of living in many parts of Mexico, in order to win over the populace the US would have to implement a public works campaign that would make the 'New Deal' look like Habitat for Humanity (in terms of sheer scale and cost)

Answer 3

Uhhh... do you have any idea what that would do? Which currency would we pick? Probably the dollar; now the poor Mexican's money is only worth 1/8th what it was before. Some places in Mexico face 90% unemployment. We would inherit that problem. Mexico being annexed into the US creates more problems than it fixes, and only half the illegal immigrants are from Mexico anyways, so this will hardly stop illegal immigration.

Answer 4

think ofyou've have been given the technique incorrect. The Puerto Ricans themselves might desire to vote on no rely if or not they pick to grow to be a state if Congress passes a regulation allowing it. Puerto Ricans have had various votes over the years in this situation. Their techniques have been: a million.) self sufficient united states 2.) US State 3.) prestige quo (proceed to be a territory) 3.) prestige quo has consistently gained by utilizing a brilliant margin. i don't be attentive to why Congress is even dropping their time discussing and debating this situation. permit Puerto Rico come to Congress and tell them that maximum human beings of this is voters pick it to be a state. in fact, they don't!

Answer 5

Heck no.

Mexico has such a corrupt political/legal system and such a horrific track record when it comes to taking care of their own people that a huge percentage of Mexican citizens would rather risk everything to come to the United States (in spite of immigration laws) rather than stay in their own country. This is not the sort of territory that I want as a part of this country.

I think a far better approach is to close our borders and ship the illegal immigrants back to where they came from. Perhaps if there are enough of them they will force the government of their own country into serving its citizenry rather than expecting the US to do it for them.

Answer 6

Basically, because social values and interests are very different. So they will barely accept to be run by a US government. Remember, they come in the US for money, but they never came here for your culture, they just think that they are better culturally speaking than Americans... At least they are raised to believe so.

Answer 7

No, then like Puerto Rico they would be able to get all sorts of government aid, but pay not Federal income tax.

Answer 8

i personally dont think that would work because then they would have to pay at least min. wage for workers instead of 1.60/day and have it where u need a prescription to get meds down there instead of just walking into the pharmacy and telling them whats wrong and they give u meds. big corporations wouldnt let that happen because they get cheap labor out of them for making the products u buy here in the US.So i dont think that would ever happen.

Answer 9

hell no
Mexico does not need to become an US territory we have already stolen enough of her land for the rest of all our lives
oh and fyi mr. fascist poop face the age of imperalism is OVER has been for years
peace out

Answer 10

that would be good idea. but i think you are out of your mind. do you even what could happen? try looking up some facts, do some readings before you open your mouth.
