A New Plan for the Border...

"One ton tomata, I was a one ton tomaaaaay - taaa.  One ton tomaaaaaata, I was a one ton tomaaataaaaaa...

...Duh..."

Oh, excuuuuuse me!  I was singing one of those Mexican songs I love so much.  

I was just thinking, maybe it wasn't such a good idea for 'Murica to let Meheeeeko off the hook at the end of the Mexican-American War.  BTW, since we won, shouldn't it have been called the "American-Mexican War?"  Just askin...'

Anyhoo, we decided to just take the area north of the Border they called "Aztlan."  That's Meheeekan for "North of the Area The Gringos Claim as Their Border, but we all know it really isn't."  Actually, it could probably mean something else, but who knows?  The area we "settled" for following the War stretched all the way to San Francisco, east through UT and NV and downward through a chunk of OK and all the way to Brownsville, Tex-assss.  

Come to think of it, we could have just let them have San Francisco and wound up with a whole lot less trouble!  One of San Fran Nan's ancestors could have wound up as Speaker of the CA Assembly.  But hey, we could still carve it out even at this late date.  Maybe we could offer it to some (un)friendly socialist country.  Like China, say.  Hey Trump, build The Wall around San Fran!  Have to think about that one for awhile...

Back to the rant.  Since we kicked their collective arses, we could have just annexed Meheeeeko.  And they would have probably been better off it we had.  We all know Meheeeeko is owned and operated by about 500 old-line, gazillionaire patrician families, who've run this place into the ground for generations.  The rest of their poor people have little choice but to hire a coyote and make their way to The Promised Land!  And the folks who run that Country do everything they can to help them in that quest!  They even print maps to their "new country" and give them out to the "migrants" as they prepare to wade across the Rio Grande.  True.  Look it up.  

Just remember, the poor are Meheeeeko's Number. One. Export!  Before oil!  Before Volkswagens!  Before tortillas!  The Poor!  And they're damned good at it!  

If they don't have to feed them and we do, they win...

If you look at your handy Atlas, you'll find that Meheeeko claims 113,000,000 people; except about 25,000,000 or 40,000,000 of them have already moved here. I'd guess that number includes all their very, very poor, and all their very, very rich.  Try and get a table at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hilton; you'll likely find the tables all taken by expat Meheeeekano "royalty."

Anyway, there's still time left.  The economic "migrants" we call illegal aliens want in, and we're having to beat them off with a stick to keep them out.  If you take a hard look at Lost Angeles you'll get an idea what their idea of their "promised land" looks like.  And it's not pretty.  

Did you ever wonder why these "migrants" want to turn the place they "go" into the place they "left?"  We know that's true or the newly-welcomed "migrants" wouldn't be waving Meheeeekan and Guatemalan and Nicaraguan and El Salvadorean flags whenever the opportunity presents.  

So I suggest we just give it to them.  Just pack up and head south, to the area they're so anxious to leave.  Think of it.  Meheeeeeeko has about 4,000 miles of pristine shoreline.  Surf and sand and sun and waves.  And little else.  

Up and down the Baja, plus the Mainland.  4,000 miles.  Can you imagine how many luxury hotels we could build on 4,000 miles of tony beaches?  So, let's start all over.  And once we've begun to work our magic, again, I suggest we then build The Wall on that side of the Border to keep them out.  

Of Meheeeeeeko.

Just an idea.  Whaddaya think?
