It’s time to make Mexico a state
I have an idea to solve the illegal immigration problem once and for all. Have Congress petition Mexico to vote to become a state. Before you laugh, hear me out. Everyone would automatically become a citizen.
If we were like Russia a while back, we would just send in some troops and a few tanks and, presto, we would own Mexico. But being a bit more democratic than Russia, we should follow a peaceful solution.
I feel positive the ordinary people would vote for it, as they literally are dying to get to the states.
The drug lords and probably the politicians would oppose it, for it would dry up their illegal gotten gains.
