In the spirit of A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift, I offer this practical and creative solution for the Mexican illegal immigrant problem.

The Supreme Court, with certainl rulings, has already demonstrated that sovereignty means little or nothing. So, let’s just declare that we need Mexico, Guatemala and Belize to enhance the economic interests of the USA. I mean, they all want to come here anyway, so let's make it easy. As of January 1, 2007 Mexico, Guatemala and Belize are part of the new US.

I have watched enough of the Sopranos and the Godfather to know that if we sent the “right” people to the elite in Mexico and the other countries and placed a few equestrian heads in the right beds that the offer we would make to buy Mexico for a dollar would be taken in a minute. The other two would follow after Mexico fell.

I lived in Germany when the wall fell. I was there when West and East Germany were unified into Germany. This would be very much the same. They want to do it from the south, so lets just beat them to the punch. No El Norte. The 75 United States of America.

The currency exchange rate is about 10 peso's per dollar right now. So if you are a Mexican you get your pesos converted to dollars at the current rate. No more Peso.

All Mexicans are made citizens of the new USA. The states in Mexico become states of the USA. The only border we have to worry about building a wall in front of is the Honduran/Guatemalan border. All that would require is a fence 30 feet high and 200 miles long. That border would be a piece of cake to seal off.

75 states of America. Messes up the flag a bit, but oh well. Maybe we add a little green to the flag to demonstrate this new country's unification.

Think of the benefits:



Ex-President George Bush would be close by for advice.

Of course, there would have to be understandings:

For instance, we’ all speak English now so we'll have to flip a coin on language. Heads we all speak Spanish; tails we all speak English. I mean, 230 years ago when the USA was formed we nearly all spoke German. The vote for English was decided by one vote

Don’'t give me the argument that the world would hate us for our imperialism. What imperialism? We are just making official the net result of what is happening anyway. We are just doing it on our terms, not theirs. Besides, ask me if I care what the world thinks. Who are they going to complain to? The UN? Give me a break. Maybe the UN would get so mad they'’d move out of the US. I'm not so sure that would be a bad thing. The world hates us anyway. Let’'s at least take advantage of it before some liberal becomes President.

There are laws against US citizens owning desirable property in Mexico. When it’s all the 75 United States of America that law will go away. Which way will the migration go then? I’'m heading south.

In the end the realty of this little farce is the farcical notion we can build a fence, virtual or otherwise, which will stop this. The real problem is the corrupt incompetent government in Mexico who can't make things work. Without a competent Mexican Government and a free Mexican economy this flight to opportunity will continue.

So, who’'s with me? I’'m ready to march to Guadalajara.

Wadda ya say?

Ole!
