Simple really. with proper development, using the local Peoples, those Countries could be great money makers for all involved. There would be no need for them to come here, when they could prosper at home. Just bring them into the fold as it were.
I agree about the desert Folks. they have never had a stable gubment, and it is not for me to say they ever should. they have been around a long time. Much longer than us. who is to say a tribal People actually need a central gubment to dictate to them?---I sure don't need one in my personal life. I'm in favor of much less gubment intervention period. I feel they create more problems than they correct.Success is far from guaranteed, for example Afghanistan and Iraq will likely never have a decent government, no matter what we do in those areas.
After 1820, sectionalism dominated American politics. We accepted the Mexican Cession to a certain point. Had we wanted we could easily have gone ahead and conquered all of Mexico. The reason we didn't, was because there were brilliant politicians back then who would have seen the fatal shift in political power to the South.
Texas took our part away from the Mexicans. "Remember the Alamo"
I remember they all died. Perhaps Sam Houston should have considered a mobile defense, ambushing and disrupting transport and supply lines, instead of defending a fixed position.
Mexico used to be the United States back in the 1450s or something. But do you believe its true that Mexico used to be the United States?
Militarily we could anytime we so wished, and there is no longer a political struggle in our country, but if we did so, there would be alarms going on all over the world. Basically, we should not claim mexico as ours, and we should not attempt to make them ours.
I do belive that the sooner we "annex" Mexico, and Cuba, the better.

I don't think they knew it was going to be a fixed position at the time . that is just all they had to seek shelter in, when the Mexicans invaded.----today, they just don't wear uniforms. But ole Sam paid them back in spades.I remember they all died.

I got it all figured out. Not an invasion, Annexation. --get back to ya with the details. You'll love it. Great plan.Umm. So we bring them in and do you know how much it would frigging cost to make them to the level of what you are talking about? Not to mention the danger to us and the troops that would be killed. There would be resistance and all kinds of problems.
No disrespect but this is a bad and stupid idea.
You just don't know me, oh ye of little faith.Dude, are you outta ya mind? :shock:
This thread makes about as much sense as the "Burn all books because" one.

Well this is a start I don’t know if this extends beyond the scope of the thread or not.

\Mexico started a war with the US after the annexation of Texas.
