ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Sew another star on the flag. Mexico will become our 51st state in 2012.
State and congressional leaders from California, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico say it’s the only way to solve America’s massive illegal immigration problem.
“Keep the Mexicans from sneaking across the border is like trying to shoo flies off a hog’s back. We might as well make them U.S. citizens and try to get a little tax money out of them,” said a source close to Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
Officials of the four states bordering Mexico are secretly gathering statehood support for that country because they bear most of the cost of illegal immigration. President Obama is fully behind the initiative.
“Pregnant women enter the U.S. illegally so their babies will be born here – and thus become American citizens,” said a congressman who is spearheading the move to Mexican statehood. “Mexican men slip across the border to work. And a few of them wind up in jail, costing us more than they spend here.
“We’re tired of U.S. taxpayers footing the bill to provide schooling, medical and other help for illegal aliens because the federal government doesn’t enforce our immigration laws,” he added.
The U.S. already spends billions of dollars each year for aid to Mexico’s impoverished 92 million people.
Then, of course there’s NAFTA and the recent Mexican financial bailout that is costing Americans a bundle.
Mexicans are jumping at a chance for U.S. statehood, say sources. 72 percent of Mexicans say they would welcome become a state in the United States.
Some Republicans are objecting to the initiative. “We should we make them Americans? Just so they can siesta all day, draw welfare checks, eat tacos and won’t have to worry about border guards leaning on them. It’s ridiculous. We’re the only Americans in North America!”
The fruit and vegetable growers strongly oppose statehood for Mexico, afraid that their workers may stay in Mexico. But, many believe that everybody will benefit from statehood for Mexico.
One sponsor of the bill in the White House said, “the Border Patrol is tired of grabbing illegal immigrants and sending them back to Mexico, and the ones already here, live in fear of being captured, like pre-World War II Germany when the Jewish people had to wear the star of David bands on their arms to announce they were Jewish rather than German. Germans were the ones attempting to make a distinct. Mexicans are already living and working in the United States. Most of them are working in hospitals, restaurants, landscaping and other service industries. Instead of playing tag at the border with illegal immigrants, it would be simpler to make Mexico the 51st state!”
“Changing border boundaries would eliminate the need to patrol the border and would save a lot of money. Then too, Americans wanting to vacation in Can Cun or other tropical paradises in Mexico, could freely travel to those spots. Then there would be no need to patrol the southern United States border any longer.
“Civil liberties and lifestyles would greatly improve for all Mexicans as the United States could spend its middle east war money on a worthwhile cause – namely, bring Mexico up to the same standard of living as what the Americans have already.”
Say Hola to the new citizens of the United States!!
this is a very dumb article, it makes no sense at all. If mexico became a state of the us that would be a horrible thing it would bring all the gangs and drug lords over in the us yeah not a good idea the crime rate would shoot up but this would and will never happen
I agree the Mexicans are taking over the US, some schools now have the early classes at 50 percent mexican in belmar new jersey. walk down the main streets and all you see is , yes still speaking spanish, pregnent mexican, with one in the stroller and three little ones walking behind. The US is turning into a 3rd world country.
This measure might make Mexico safer, if only the U.S. had MONEY to fix it! We can't afford the country we have now, let alone someone else's. Yes, we can tax Mexicans, but they never have any income. All they do is draw. I totally agree with the Republicans on this, and I'm a Democrat (very sad). The only good thing I see in this is that I could go to Oaxaca without a passport.
Mexicans have provided tons of disservice. Our education system will go down, 8-year-olds would start having children, and our overall morals will go down. Mexican culture is LAZY. I've studied Spanish, and we had to learn the culture. LAZY, LAZY, LAZY.
We're already a 3rd world country. Let's not make it worse.
Ok I agree they shouldn’t do that but with out the Mexicans we have right now we wouldn’t have anyone to cut our grass. If we didn’t have them who would because I know Americans wouldn’t do it….. there lazy. Something with construction… there is NO way an American will wake up at 4:30 in the morning to go work all day in the hot sun during the summer or in the frezzing cold during the winter to night time because there so lazy. They perfer to wake up at 8 in the morning and go home at 4 or 5pm and saying your tired. if we didn’t have them you would be living in a box. Whenever you need your house painted it was always a Mexican that would do it cause an American torture wouldn’t do it.
I’ve been to Mexico and I see a lot of poor kids, or perents working on the streets selling fruit, candy, or they try to clean your shoes just to make money just so there kids can have something to eat or for the kids trying to get money they try to make money for his/her mom or dad that need to see a doctor cause there sick. If I could I will help them. In the us there is no American that will go out on the street to try to save there mom or dad or try to keep food for there children. So you have no right to call any Mexican lazy cause the truth is Americans are the lazy ones.
I agree very strongly.
Sometimes i wonder why one of the most powerful nations on earth has some of the stupidest people too
long live liberty!. Death to the convuluted idea that the american dream is still " american" . the only country ive ever heard of gasping for the air of subjection by the US. Yet because it has nothing to offer us as a nation , we go over seas to countries that detest our presence in hopes to perserve a "union" of powers. I CAN DRIVE TO MEXICO , whats wrong with making it a state and setting up Base their rather than Iran, which our troops do 4 months tour in( not included air hours). how come fighting over space in the air ( internet) is more important than the unifacation of man? i live in the projects , and more and more people are loosing their homes due to condos being built. theres obviously dwindeling space and resources. and If thats a stupid idea , why cant the unifacation of south america be an option?
