#1 Again, just annex the whole bloody place. Make them a Commonwealth like Puerto Rico with mandatory plebiscites every 10 years to placate the chauvinists. Integrate them to the dollar and vigorous purging of corrupt officials and bureaucrats, champion the civil rights of the lower class against the entrenched neo-autocrats and land[grabbers]owners, clear the Constitution of its xenophobic obstructions to foreign investment, etc. You start by propagandizing the media with the benefits of union versus the status quo of double digit unemployment, rife corruption, and squandering of Mexicos resources to enrich the old established family systems. The very reasons that millions of your brothers trek north can be there with you and your family and children. Opportunity not oppression.

Watch the attitude of the entrenched powerholders when that message arrives on the scene.

#3 You all may not see it, but living in Phoenix, I've noticed that the Mexicans who have lived here any length of time are integrating at a very accelerated clip. Normally it takes three generations, but in this good economy, they are Americanizing seemingly overnight.

First generation illegals are earning enough to buy a small house, and their children are pushed right into public school. Unlike other waves of immigrants, that have a "ghetto-crime-mafia" phase, a lot of the Mexicans are skipping that part entirely. If they enter the US over the age of 10, they are first generation. Under 10, and they grow up American.

Just today, there was a funny local news item about re-activating the moribund MeCha. But there was quick agreement that it would NOT be radical, or protest, or make any trouble at all, as it had in the past. Instead they were hoping that they could use it, I quote, "to help network".

We're talking from business, here. They were also quick to poo-poo the entire "Aztlan" thing. Not interested.

#4 So they're smarter than Hamas and the Paleos.

I still doubt they'll really be integrated for three generations and by that I mean in Seattle, Chicago and Boston, Not Phoenix.

#5 I think this article is a better representation of what is happening in America.

#6 Yeah the great irony in this piece is why a citizen fleeing a failing state, whose corruption and endemic disregard for Life or liberty, would flee to another state and than want to install the previous state over his adopted home! Its illogical and this long piece is in fact the wishfull thinking of the mexican elites. We should adopt a plan that reverses these trends by suggesting the border states of Mexico might best be served for application into the greater US, whereby the tax base of the mexican myth makers would further be eroded.
