Local idiot (in newspaper) suggests annexing Mexico.
Edited on Sun Sep-09-07 07:13 PM by bbernardini
From the "Sound Off" column in the local rag (in which they print pretty much whatever nonsense people call in with):


“I suggest that the government rethink the issue on illegal aliens from Mexico. I believe there is a possibility that since Mexico doesn’t take care of its citizens, that maybe the United States should annex Mexico, making it legally part of the United States. That way we would know who all the illegal aliens are, we would know where they are, we could tax them as citizens of the United States since we had take their country. This is something not to laugh at, after all we are taking c are of them now and they are illegal. So make them legal by taking their country. Obviously Mexico doesn’t care, since they are sending them here now so that we can be their Social Security system. So how about it politicians, rethink your thinking ... maybe we should just annex Mexico and make them legal.”

2. Will Mexico get just 2 senators or 2 from each state?
Talk about a permanent Democratic majority!
You go idiot-girl.

4. Mexico Annexing U.S.
From the number of Mexicans ignoring the border, with Bush doing everything Calderon wants, it would appear that the de facto Mexican annexation of the U.S. is already in process.

5. Of course, that would annoy the people who go there for cheap prescriptions and medical care.
