Taking ...I'd say its more likely to be power-greed. Taking care of Mexicans at the American standard or anywhere near it, will impose losses on many a capitalist, who otherwise would have had profits.<BR/>A larger polity, though, means greater power and the prestige that goes with that. Whitehall was much more prestigious and powerful when it ruled its populous tropical colonies. British businessmen got a break when those territories were cut loose. The U.S. used to have the Philippines, but losing them raised the per capita income and profitability of the reduced empire.John S.

They are betting (wisely) that Mexicans will not "revolt" against the United States in the Southwest because they will be addicted to our welfare benefits in 25 years and various other benefits of being U.S. citizens (like owning a cheap car, reliable utilities, TV, porn, fast food, malls, roads, welfare and hospitals for their oldies, etc). Our corporate-establishment overlords will spread the global corporate uniculture into Mexico (and slow their birthrate to replacement levels like Argentina's) and slowly but surely begin to buy up what is worth having there (natural resources) and planting a few factories here and there. They will also buy up their media slowly but surely as time passes and use it to condition opinion as they do here. What do the coporate gated-community elite "get"? <BR/><BR/>They get 100 million new people, smarter and more hardworking and less physically threatening than blacks, who will be a permanent working class in the new ENLARGED Amercia. They get to cut wages in the USA for the smart-mouthed white and black working class also as a beneficial externaltity. They will be unaffected by the influx of Mexicans because they (the elite) live in gated communities here and are just as removed from us as the white elite in Mexico is removed from the average poor Mexican. ...............and we will get alot of oil in the process.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>JSB,<BR/>I think our elite would like to try to get Canada (much more natural resources and higher-end scientific talent) suckered into the same kind of bargain.........but Canadians might be too smart to take the bait. Mark my word, if we "merge" with Mexico, like Ted Turner merging with Time Inc., the elite of Mexico will find themselves dissapointed down the line as their oil fields and other assets end up in Wall Street hands. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I think THAT is the plan. mAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
