Why can`t we just annex mexico and be done with it!?

Question

We get all her natural resorces(Theres oil in them hills) Plus get to collect taxes on her citizens.

Answer 1

Because we don't need millions more people added to the welfare rolls.

Answer 2

For that matter why doesn't China just annex the U.S., they already own about 25% of our debt.

People in a sovereign nation have the right not to be invaded and subjected to U.S. occupation. Although you wouldn't know it under the current administration. Besides our military is stretched right now we probably couldn't even mount an attack against Mexico.

Answer 3

Theyre  all poor so it would hurt our economy. Plus all of the cheep stuff we get from there wouldnt be cheep anymore because we would have to pay them minimum wage.

Answer 4

You may have a good idea, divide it up into about four states. Lock up all the corrupt politicians that run it now. I think you are on to something, this would solve a lot of problems.

Answer 5

I've been saying that for a couple years now.

EDIT:  'Course, I think we need to give EVERY one of their politicians a hefty retirement and villas in Cancun and Cozumel just to get them out of the way.  Otherwise, cleaning up the corruption would cost us more than it'd be worth.

Answer 6

Mexico is an independent country

Answer 7

We already annexed the good parts.

Answer 8

The U.S. is trying to move forward, not backwards. Bad idea.

Answer 9

First: it would cause war. Second: the United States would drag with Mexico's poverty. Third: our economy can't afford it. Forth: there would be more Spanish speaking people in the United States so it would cause a culture war. Fifth: racism would be unstopable. Sixth: revolution. And the cycle starts over and over again.

Answer 10

Mexican citizens have no money or income to pay taxes on! Besides, why would we want an entire nation that we would have to give welfare, medical coverage and Social Security to?
