| Calderon seeks migration pact with U.S., Canada |
| 2006-07-08 |
 Felipe Calderon said Friday that as Mexico's new president he will work closely with Washington to build infrastructure and jobs in some of his country's poorest regions to stop the stream of illegal migration to the U.S. "Walls and troops won't solve the problem of migration," Calderon said. "Migration can only be stopped with opportunities of employment, and that's why I will push for a trilateral policy with the United States and Canada to generate jobs." |

| #9 If we were to annex Mexico, the new southern border would be easily defensible |

| #8 Mexico's inexplicable inability to harass its oil, and an Middle East's inevitable oil embargo (i.e., action against Iran, etc), could make the annexation occur more rapidly. |

| #7 Spemble, not now. In 2-3 generations, it would be possible. I was always puzzled about US gummint policy regarding Mexican migrants (illegal or not) and the only possible conclusion was that the policy is deliberate and is a part of a long term plan, with anexation of one form or another as the goal. |

| #5 Rambler, You've got a point but I guess the question is whether that would be worse than what we have now. I think they've got no place to go but up. |

| #4 Hey, I got an idea. Why not create some job opportunities in Mexico for Americans? |

| #3 Mac, if they executed all the corrupt police and officials, there wouldn't be any police or officials. |

| #2 How about public executions of coyotes, drug smugglers, and corrupt police officers/officials? That would be a good start. |

| #1 Walls and troops will certainly help, but Mexico has the biggest job - creating jobs at home. Start with the breakup of the forty families |
