Would it be inappropriate for the US to apply the same rules and standards for citizenship as Mexico requires for a US citizen to become a Mexican
Citizen?

wouldn't it be easier if we just annnexed Mexico and made it 51st state? that way we could all have the same laws, and our southers border would have
shorter length needing monitoring; and nomads would ask fewer questions about visas and property ownership, and expat scoflaws would have to register
their vehicles.

Even better, make it the 105th state of the global banking kingdom of King William the global leader of the monarchy and king of all slaves. Long

Before or after Puerto Rico?
Crazy as it sounds, the idea about truncating the Southern border actually makes sense.

"truncating"----the act of cutting off. So, you advocate the "cutting off" of the southern border, or do you mean cutting off "at" the southern
border? That would leave either Mexico to just drift off, or North America north of the Mexican border to drift off. Not clear to me what you are
accomplishing here, but it would make the border very difficult to cross, I will admit. Problem solved??

Obama authorized 1,200 troops and has asked Congess for an additional 1/2 billion dollars for strengthening the border.

The WH Devil and His Details
Whether or not this is simply a pander of less substance that it even appears, will become apparent soon enough.
In deploying 1/5 the Guard troops that GWB deployed, it has been said already that they're basically supplying clerical help. Arguments can be made
that they WILL provide some help by freeing up other "Enforcement" personnel, but time and further information will tell us what is happening other
than politics.

Those things are cool, I have a buddy who flies missions in Iraq and Afghanistan from a Navy facility in Patuxent River, Maryland. A day at the

BTW, the new troops at the border are for the War on Drugs, not the War on Illegals. Shhhh, don't tell the zonies.

They are to be used for logistical support and surveillance. What's your best guess as to whether they'll be locked and loaded?

I don't know where I stand on this issue. After finishing with Mexican Imigration after 15 years, I know it from the other side too. I still can't
own property in my own name in Mexico in the forbidden zone. Any Mexican illegal who has the money can buy property in the US right now from the get
go. I think this is unfair. What the US should really worry about is that the going could get a lot worse in Mexico violence wise. A very large
percentage of the Mexican population is prone to mischief. If it does 30% of the Mexican population could try and succeed in crossing the border as
refugees. These would be the smart - ambitous segment of society; people with money. The people with passports would cross and just stay forever.
75 million people. They would leave Mexico with an even more depleted gene pool. Only women and the zombies will be left to re-populate the
Republica is some sort of Stone Age atmosphere. But who really cares that much about any of this. Most Americans spend their time thinking about
beating an electronic slot machine. They don't want to work. They shouldn't worry so much about the risk of losing their trailers and their SSI
checks to a bunch of Mexicans who really can get America's job done. LOL

National Guard Non-Enforcement
No Lock and Loaded Weekend Warriors.
Clerical, Logistical support staff no different from GWB's effort.
Except, of course, his was 6,000. This is 1,200.

And the cartels know this. I wouldn't be surprised if they use the Guard for target practice.

LOL, maybe. But, probably not. I cannot help thinking that you are both profiling and stereotyping both Mexicans and US citizens quite unfairly. Your
post is really not helpful to the debate.

Would anyone ever expect anything but criticism of the present administration to emanate from that rusty old single-wide?
