Why dont we have mexico?

Question

become apart of United States

Answer 1

because Mexicans would not want to be part of this country...who would?

for those who said Mexico is part of the U.S. check your history, all the Mexican American War did as well as the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was steal land from Mexico so that the U.S. could go on with their idea of Manifest Destiny....

Mexico is part of North America therefore its people are still American...as well as all the people of central and south America

Answer 2

we do have mexico

Answer 3

The Mexican Government might object.

Answer 4

why would we want it?

Answer 5

Are you advocating taking over a sovereign country? Don't we have enough wars going on? No wonder other people of the world believe the US is the ultimate war-like nation. We will never have Mexico as anything but a an ally and trade partner.

Answer 6

cause the mexicans dont want to be a part of the US. maybe almost all of the people in mexico are poor but they still have pride and love their country.

Answer 7

Why should we? They're better off without us, just like Canada. Seriously.

Answer 8

It is a country and we can keep it at that.

Answer 9

Because we don't want to be from the USA and we like our nation... that's why!

Answer 10

Do we really want mexico?

Answer 11

The US actually conquered Mexico during the Mexican-American war.  The US took the northernmost third of the Mexican territory and then gave the rest of Mexico back to the Mexicans.

If America made Mexico part of the United States then Mexicans would be American citizens and be able to vote and have congressmen.  

Currently, congress doesn't want to make Puerto Rico into a state because they don't want to have to give them senators and representatives - congressmen are afraid that creating more seats in congress will "dilute" their power.

Mexico would have WAY more senators and representatives than Puerto Rico would.  So, you definitely would not see the US Congress wanting to incorporate Mexico into the US.

The US would probably have to become officially bilingual if that many Spanish speakers suddenly became citizens.  That would probably be rather upsetting to all the Americans that are still trying to get English declared the official language of the US.

Of course, the Mexicans may not want to be part of the US, as well.

Answer 12

No.

Too many poor, uneducated peasants.

Too many drug dealers and corrupt politicians and law enforcement personnel.

Would be an arduous, expensive task to fix Mexico, once it became part of the US.  They would all swarm up to the developed states, bankrupting and destabilizing all of them.

NO.

PS:  Is 15 thumbs down some kind of a record?

Answer 13

idk. I think that they should.  It would be alot easier for everyone.  I think that the US doesn't want to be liable for their expenses though. The US doesn't want to help them and get the how we are now.  You know what I mean.

Answer 14

because we dont want it

Answer 15

After the Mexican-American War, in the 1840s, fully half of Mexico was taken over by the US, including what became Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.  Merging what remains would not be in the best interests of either country.

Answer 25

Loved Hapa chic, lpaganus and midnite's responses...... and the last guy before me has a good point as well!!! WHO WOULD WANT TO BECOME A PART OF THE USA??? no thanks........ we ARE already americans, and no, we aren't interested at all in becoming part of the U.S.A. -- we might have poverty, corruption and a bunch of problems, but we are FREE and sovereign and so shall we remain!!!! We MOST DEFINTELY are better off without the USA messing with us more than they already do!!!

Answer 26

Which country are you talking about?Because we do have Mexico here in America!!!!!!

Answer 27

Because Mexico is a country of it's own, with millions of inhabitants.  Mexico has no interest in becoming part of the US.

Answer 28

Because, we use Mexican immigrants to do our labor on assembling and constructing for a much lower price than it would cost here. (think health care, insurance, lunch break, health condition cost...) Anyway, if we made them part of our country, we would have to offer them the same benefits, and alas, we would be forced to ship our products off to communism land or China.
