Do you have no idea that pretty much everything I'm posting on here isn't in the least bit serious? :palm:

Actually, I didn't. That isn't even close to the dumbest thing I've seen people take seriously here.

Yes, but they are in Mexico, therefore, by the transitive property, no one cares about them or their cares.

You said no one cares about Mexico. I said people do, and some of those people might care enough to take up arms in resistance.

For decades, politicians in Washington have cowardly turned a bi-partisan blind eye to the economic refugees (i.e., illegal aliens) that have transgressed our borders until it has become an unbearable strain upon our economy. Then, rather than securing our border and addressing the problem, the immigrants are now being used as political pawns in order to create a huge pool of 8 million progressive voters.

Should the U.S. invade Mexico and/or annex it as the 51st state, or several states?

What the hell kind of idea is this.

ONLY in General would this idea be floated.
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.

The Thing to Remember About NationStates is that it is an almost entirely social game - fundamentally, you have no power beyond your own ability to convince people to go along with your ideas. In that sense, even the most dictatorial region is fundamentally democratic.

No, I think that would get the US into a very messy problem with the I.C, I mean, if they defame us for the War on Terror which actually had some legitamite reasoning behind it, imagine what would happen if we invaded Mexico for the lolz. But considering we did it to Panama we could get away with it again maybe :lol: . I propose that the rescources we would use to invade Mexico be used to invade Cuba, and stop communism in the Americas once and for all, and we would be able to since Cuba is relativley a diplomatic loner.

Rather than invading, we should consider buying it and flipping it. Clear out the pests and a little redecorating and you'll have one prime piece of property. Then we sell it to China, or maybe the EU, Lord knows they'll buy anything, and we'll have a nice stack of cash to fix that deficit.
