The United States of ... Mexico?

It took more than 100 years, but Mexico is finally trying to reclaim part of the land taken by the U.S., and it is doing it without firing a shot -- well, at least so far. Mexico is doing it by taking advantage of our porous borders and flooding our country with illegal immigrants who are uninsured and hike up our insurance rates and medical costs by making American taxpayers pay for them when they get sick or into an accident.

They want all the benefits of American citizens but are shouldering none of the taxpayer burden, they want to be granted amnesty and be placed ahead of other immigrants who are working through the laws of the land to become legalized citizens, yet many refuse to even learn English.

Liberals beat the drums for them, insisting we offer them and/or their children bilingual education. This is just plain ridiculous. If they want to be in America, let them come here legally, learn our language and obey our laws. Otherwise, go back home.

But they continue to stream across the borders -- along with who knows how many terrorists -- while our distinguished Congress debates how to best secure our borders and absorb the millions who have already come into the U.S. Whatever compromise these idiots devise, you can be sure it won't solve the problem and will have the teeth of a 100-year-old woman without dentures.

Actually, there's an easy way to solve the problem and secure the borders. Let the Second American Revolution include not just the United States, but Mexico, too. Once we take over that country, they ALL become U.S. citizens and Mexico's southern borders would be a heck of a lot easier to protect than its northern ones.
