Solution to Mexican Immigration issue

[RecycleMichael]

I am trying to think outside the box here and will confess that I am less than completely serious.

I think the United States of America should either purchase or invade the country of Mexico.

They are worth buying because of cool resorts and lots of beach.

They are worthy of invading because they have lots of oil.

We have lots of examples of buying; think Manhattan Island, Alaska and the Louisiana Purchase. The economy of Mexico makes the purchase somewhat affordable, especially in light of a 100 Billion dollar war over oil.

The invasion and conquering of Mexico seems easy as well. I don't know what kind of military Mexico has, but surely we can take them. Just make sure we secure the oilfields first, like we did in Iraq. I would rather have our troops fighting closer to home anyway.

Mexican citizens would automatically become U.S. residents and all laws and benefits would apply. American companies would see greater opportunity for expansion and Americans could travel safer as well.
