Annex Mexico ? Si ?

Instead of worrying about Mexicans invading America, maybe what we

need is for the United States to annex Mexico.

Since we obviously cannot safeguard our border with Mexico, why not

just annex Mexico?

Let's declare Mexico a protectorate of the United States and set about

governing it in a benevolent, but self-interested way. In time, we

could incorporate it as several new States.

The current illegal flow of Mexicans and Central Americans to the

United States constitutes the largest diaspora in modern history. An

estimated 10% of Mexico's population of more than 107 million people

is now living in the United States. About 15% of Mexico's labor force

is working in the United States and one in every seven Mexican workers

migrates to the United States.

The immediate benefits of annexation are obvious. Mexico's oil

industry is its largest provider of revenue, but is very poorly

managed. Its vast revenues are not benefiting the Mexican people who

clearly feel compelled to emigrate to the United States. The Mexican

government relies on oil income because its national tax evasion rate

is more than 40%.

Given America's growing need for oil, annexing Mexico and

denationalizing its oil industry would permit the investment necessary

to upgrade it while providing less reliance on foreign sources in the

turbulent Middle East or Venezuela.

The second largest source of income for Mexico is the remittances

Mexicans who are illegally in the United States send home. It is

currently estimated at between $23 and $25 billion. That is equal to

the foreign aid the United States annually provides to the entire

world. It is nearly equal to what Mexico's oil industry generates

every year.

It is U.S. money that is literally going south while native-born and

naturalized Americans are required to fund our education and health

systems that provide free care for illegal Mexicans and their

families, a vast number of whom qualify for welfare as well. The U.S.

is literally importing poverty. Economist Robert J. Samuelson has

noted that, "the ranks of the poor are constantly replenished. Since

1980, the number of Hispanics with incomes below the government's

poverty line (about $19,300 in 2004 for a family of four) has risen

162 percent."

Meanwhile, a June 2004 agreement between the U.S. and Mexico that is

waiting for

President Bush's signature would literally bankrupt the Social

Security system if approved by Congress. The Totalization Agreement

could allow millions of illegal Mexicans to draw billions of dollars

from the U.S. Social Security Trust Fund.

A study by the United Nations Population Fund concluded that

remittances to Mexico are, in fact, not helping that nation's economy.

The money is primarily spent on groceries and other daily expenses. A

study by the Banco de Mexico, its central bank, came to the same

conclusion, noting that reliance on remittances was itself a cause of

poverty since it provides fewer incentives to seek other sources of

income.

By annexing Mexico and encouraging American business and industry to

expand there, creating new jobs, improving that nation's prosperity,

Mexicans would have less need to relocate in America. Even a Mexican

government spokesman, addressing a press conference in January 2006,

acknowledged that many of the illegals are actually seeking "a better

condition of life despite the fact that they had work here."

Then there's the issue of crime. Mexico is a major corridor for the

drug cartels that feed the addictions of American citizens. The

cartels are violent and have corrupted the governance of Mexico at all

levels. By annexing Mexico, we can more effectively battle this

pernicious enemy that already threatens the peace of many southwestern

cities and communities.

There is the language problem and, frankly, English will have to

become a mandatory second language for Mexicans if they insist on

coming to America to work or live here. Many Americans throughout the

southwest have had to learn Spanish just to converse with their

neighbors and to conduct business. For generations, Puerto Ricans have

routinely learned and used both languages.

Will we allow Mexicans to vote in American elections? Yes, but only

when they become Americans! Initially we would need a long period of

assimilation and acceptance of American values in the same fashion we

currently mandate for those seeking citizenship through our

naturalization process.

American laws and jurisdiction to facilitate trade, guarantee the

rights of their citizens, and initiate a crackdown on the drug cartels

that threaten the police, the courts, and other Mexican leaders would

replace current Mexican laws.

There is more than a bit of arrogance for thousands of Mexicans,

illegal aliens, to march in the streets of American cities demanding

that we grant them privileges equal to Americans without the

responsibilities of citizenship, i.e., paying taxes and obeying our

laws.

The greatest benefit of annexation is that America would avoid

becoming a de facto Third World nation.

Mexico would not cease to exist. It would become a functioning element

of an expanded United States of America. Mexican-Americans would enjoy

the full benefits of citizenship while retaining their unique history

and culture. In the past, America has achieved this with millions of

former Irish, Italian, Russian, German, and other nationalities.

Mexico as a separate nation on our southern border threatens our

sovereignty by virtue of openly and deliberately encouraging millions

of its citizens to ignore our laws, enter our nation illegally, and

benefit from our economy.

Mexico as a protectorate and, eventually, a part of America, is a

realistic, rational solution. Mexicans are here already. Let's make

them Americans who will want to live in the former nation of Mexico.

Impossible, you say? Probably yes, and, in truth, I am content to let

Mexico be Mexico, but if you have begun to see how impossible it is

for the United States to continue absorbing millions of illegal

immigrants, then you will understand why the defeat of the immigration

"reform" legislation is a victory for the sovereignty and security of

the United States.

______________

Just think of the oil and gas reserves in Mexico and the idea becomes

more interesting.

Invade and annex Mexico to the United States

Mexico is the fifth largest country in the Western Hemisphere and is

rich in natural resources such as petroleum and natural gas. Mexico's

efforts to develop and modernize its economy-one of the 15 largest in

the world-have been slowed by the nation's rugged terrain, limited

farmland, a rapidly growing population, and a series of economic

crises. The potential importance of natural resources for the

livelihood of poor rural households has long

been recognized but seldom quantified and analyzed. This would not be

a problem for the United States to easily overcome.

The country's enormous petroleum reserves rank it among the top ten

countries in the world. Mexico is a major exporter of crude oil and

remains one of the top producers and exporters of silver, a mineral

resource that has been important since colonial times. Although

petroleum dominated the economy in the 1960s and 1970s, recent

governments have encouraged economic diversification. Manufacturing,

tourism, and assembly industries in northern Mexico are now important

sectors of the economy. Mexico's economy is also of major importance

to the United States, not only because of formal links through

economic agreements, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement

(NAFTA), but also because Mexico is one of the largest trading

partners of the United States. In turn,Mexico's largest trading

partner is the United States.

Besides, The Neo-Cons Could REALLY Use a New War Right Now!! Mexico

could be next. It's close to home and has lots of oil,

Q. What country should the oil terrorists in the White House invade

next?

A. MEXICO:

It's close to home. Lots of whore houses to serve the troops and they

could have their R&R in Crawford, Texas where they could visit their

drunken leader at the ranch.

Today, Mexico may be sitting on some of the world's largest oil

deposits on earth in the Chicxulub fields.

Oil is often the secret motive behind America's foreign policy.(Even

with Mexico)

The American Standard Oil Co controlled the Mexican oil production

(stole it) until Mexico nationalized their known oil assets in 1938.

Since then the big oil bandits in the US have been secretly trying to

figure how to regain the underground black gold in Mexico, the fifth

largest oil reserve on earth.

[ And Mexico's oil is conveniently right next door.]

A majority of Mexicans believe the United States invaded Iraq simply

to acquire its valuable oil reserves. They are also

beginning to suspect that the powers that run America have

designs on Mexico's oil as well.

The former President, Vicente Fox of the right wing PAN (National

Action Party) attempted to privatize Pemex, along with other public

properties, early in his administration, but has been forced by public

resistance to repeatedly declare that "Pemex is not for sale," and has

reiterated it a couple of times since May 8. Apparently not satisfied

with Fox's vehemence after the latest incident, Rosario Robles,

leader of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) told the

cowboy-boot-wearing, macho Fox to "hitch up your trousers and defend

our petroleum."

AlterNet: It's About (Mexico's) Oil

Posted June 3, 2003. US capitalists have their sights set on Mexico's

nationalized oil wealth.

http://www.alternet.org/story/16046

But more important. And something "Oily Dick" Cheney would be in favor

of : " Mexico is a prime target. In addition to its 1% of global

generating capacity, Mexico has two added benefits: a common border

with the United States and hugh oil and gas deposits. Mexico is the

world's fifth largest oil producer, with reserves of some 28 billion

barrels and crude oil production of about 3 million barrels a day

( compared

to 21 billion and 6 million barrels, respectively for the United

States ). It exports $10.4 billion worth of oil a year, 93% of which

goes to the United States. The nation also has 30 trillion cubic feet

of natural gas reserves...

"The problem in Mexico, from the standpoint of pirates, is that

energy is largely controlled by the national government. The Mexican

oil industry was nationalized in 1938, and is controlled via the

state- owned oil company, Petroleous de Mexico ( Premex )."

Prior to nationalization, and one of the reasons for doing so, was

because American oil companies ( Standard Oil and others ) were

stealing the oil. When the Mexican government nationalized, the US

government responded with harsh economic sanctions that hurt Mexico to

this day.

Today, Mexico may be sitting on some of the world's largest oil

deposits on earth in the Chicxulub fields.

Ay, Here's the rub:

Mexico's oil is nationalized . It's part of their Constitution and

as soon as we AGAIN get control of their government and rewrite their

constitution (like in Iraq) to privatize the oil

reserves, we will have all the oil we need.

US politicians use immigration reform as a political tool and

bargaining chip -- or in this case, what the head of the Mexican

Catholic Church, Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera calls simply,

"blackmail."

What more could the US government do, apart from standing on the

rooftops and shouting to the four corners of the world, that when it

comes to "human rights," it is indeed, all about oil. And, one way or

another, American oil companies will get Mexico's oil

May 11, 2003, 0100 PDT (FTW) --Mexico passed its peak of oil

production in the 1980s. Its nationalized oil company, Pemex, controls

both the oil and natural gas resources of our Southern neighbor. Soon

Mexico will not have enough natural gas to meet even its own needs,

let alone exporting it to the US. As the Empire's oil reserves shrink

and as its natural gas reserves approach empty, with Canadian tar

sands development proving to be an economic and ecological disaster,

the realities of diminishing hydrocarbon energy supplies are starting

to hit home. Once more the American Empire's fig leaf is removed as

the House International Relations Committee tells Mexico, "If you

want better immigration laws, give us control of your fossil fuels."

The Sense of Congress resolution needs to be approved by both houses

and is sure to stir up a fight. But, in the context of Peak Oil, it

will be perhaps the kindest, gentlest move the Empire makes to obtain

control of Mexico's oil.

The argument that it's only fair because the Mexican immigrants, only

too welcome by employers seeking cheap labor, will use the energy here

don't wash. They will use far less oil and gas here than US investment

intends to appropriate through ownership.

The signs of Peak Oil are all around us. And now they are showing up

close to home.

I like that idea.

It solves the border problem, while further antagonizing the bigots.

It's a total win-win.
