This might sound silly, but I'm absolutely serious

How do we buy Mexico? It is an oil rich country and we can accomplish more have the country than continuously worry about border control. This will not go away and we will re visit this problem every 20 years.Can you imagine how much fun Halliburtin would have building a country!!

1. The Mexicans would have to want to sell.

But you'd only end up worrying about Guatemala.

16. No, silly! Haven't you ever heard of "hostile takeover"?

2. in 3 wars with them the US did well

each war lost mexico approximately half its remaining land mass. 3 more maybe to shrink them to delaware size? I hear that there were high level talks between fox and bin laden for years - they met once in prague. Eastasia isn't our enemy they are our ally - mexico has always been the enemy! war is peace you know.

3. We probably could have bought Iraq for less.

Instead, I say we just sell Texas to Mexico.

For $20.00

[Minnesota Libra]

10. I'd give Mexico the $20 to take Texas back - as long as................

..........Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rove are in Texas when the deal is signed.

4. Their plan it to merge Mexico the USA and Canada. That way the

corporations get cheap labor all the resources and do not have any over site.
We are the ones that have to stop this now.

7. Seriously, would thatt be so bad?

If Europe become the EU...why can't we all become the NAU? I'd like to live in Canada!

[Vincardog]

9. Read 1984. Do you want to be a peon in the corporate plantation?

I do NOT.

[tocqueville]

5. you should get a job at the Bush administration

basically it's the same plan than Iraq, without the WMD and of course without asking the Mexicans if they want to be bought first...

[serryjw]

6. Are you kidding?

They would love to be US citizen..have you been paying attention in the last two weeks? I'm not talking about invasion..I'm asking how do we buy Mexico IF THEY WANT TO SELL?

[tocqueville]

11. your post is nothing but prejudice

if the Mexicans weren't sucked up by big US companies through NAFTA, they surely could manage to build a good society. They are not less intelligent than Venezuelans and Brazilians.

About the "country-building" skills of Halliburton, the previous experiences aren't that brilliant (except for the profits made by a few)

[lonestarnot]

12. Come on tocqueville, lighten up. It was just a silly post.

[TahitiNut]

13. "...but I'm absolutely serious."

It sure is hard to tell when someone's making "just a silly post." Golly... "serious" now means "silly"?
(making notes) Got it. :eyes:

When do we get to the part where "is" means "was" and "no" means "yes"? :dunce:

[CatholicEdHead]

8. We could have the Minuteman and other militias do it for us

(I got that idea from another board with a poster who proposes this "annexation" all the time).

[pitohui]

14. we can't afford to buy mexico

a v. rich country in natural resources

[daveskilt]

17. we can't even afford to buy the US back from China

[Neil Lisst]

15. hmmm, we could use those 12 million as a cheap army ...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

18. They would tank our economy.

Didn't Vicente Fox when he first got into office want to make the American Dollar the Mexican Currency? Everyone said it would put our economy in the toilet. Why would the United States want to absorb a third world country that isn't in the middle of the carribean? :evilgrin: for the last part of that statement.

19. I wouldn't want southern Mexico. I flew over Mexico City once and you

could hardly make out was was there because of the pollution.

[RagingInMiami]

20. Simple

We use all the money we're getting for selling off our own country to China and the UAE.
