This poll is meant for Americans (particularly those on the border or having high amounts of illegals residing in them)
This may seem to be a radical solution to the problem of illeagal immigration, but it seems to be one way of solving it...
As a wall would cost too much money (apparently, I'm pro wall myself...) as would deporting all the illegals, could Mexico simply be annexed into the union? Of course there would be international input (sometimes negative perhaps, I'm not quite sure how anyone is going to respond to this) but I think eventually we could carve up the territories into new states.
If Mexico was annexed, the infrastructure could be developed, all Mexican citizens made American citizens thus having them contribute to the taxation system (however miniscule that might be at first).
Obviously the short term effects would be bad as we would have to pour billions of dollars into developing the country, educate them, and all the necessities, but I think in the long run it could benefit the US. Think about how much money we sepnd on them ayway though. Foreign aid...costs of deportations...trial costs...possible wall expenses...The chances of this happening are zero percent, but I though it was an interesting topic of discussion.
Amnesty for Annexation? Any thoughts my fellow Americans?
