#2 It is extraordinarily bad, not in itself, but because it may be the tinderbox that ignites all of Mexico. There is a good chance that the whole freaking country could explode in a grotesque civil war like the last one they had that lasted years and was completely genocidal. It is ripe for such a disaster.

The US will have to deploy at least a Corps of military to keep the refugees out, or we could be inundated with 30 Million people overnight (out of a 107M population), and much of the Mexican and Mexican-American and ethic Mexican population of the US could become radicalized and want to continue the fighting up here.

The US may be inclined to intervene militarily as a "peacekeeping" force, and God alone knows how disasterous or not *that* might be.

#3 Hold a plebiscite on this side of the border of Mexicans [legal or otherwise] on whether they would support annexation and autonomy on the lines of Puerto Rico, with the same privileges and rights of citizens of Puerto Rico with American federal oversight of real prosecution of corruption and patronage. Tag on mandatory independence votes very 10 years. Well take any surge of refugees as a yes vote. When Mexico City expresses its outrage, just point out their sterling work on closing the border.

#4 Mexico needs an enima. If that means a revolution let it happen. Let Venezuela fund and sponser nasty folks and get themselves trapped in an unpopular war while the gringos sit this one out (okay, perhaps some targetted assassinations of drug lords but beyond that) and guard our border.
