First, full disclosure: I have advocated America’s annexation of Mexico within these virtual pages. The way I figure it is that if some (is it really just some, how many Mexicans do you think want to take California back? I think many.) Mexican groups like la Raza (I think it means “the race,” I only took three years of public school Spanish, so I don’t really know) want a “reconquista.” Now, I know what that means, they want my land!

Anyways, if billboards are any barometer of truth (and I think they are as good as any “academic study” because a lot of money is gambled on a marketing campaign’s success) then we can safely assume that many Mexicans still feel shafted from the Mexican-American War. Just take a look at this billboard from Absolut Vodka:

And this was from a story in the LA Times - a far left daily that is sinking faster than Zimbabwe’s economy. The story asks the question of whether this type of ad campaign will, um, anger Americans.

The answer, of course, is no. Some cities in America’s Southwest are already being handed over to the Latin provisional authority - the gangs. What, too harsh? Ask the blacks who use to live in some of these cities in Southern California what is going on. Just take a drive in these ciudades and you can see something that you won’t see in the picture of Absolut’s billboard above - everything is in Spanish.

Many cities in America’s Southwest are de facto ciudades and, quite frankly, I’m not going to shed any tears over it. If a culture isn’t strong enough to withstand the culture of some migrant workers and disaffected youths with poor marksmanship than maybe it doesn’t deserve to survive. But, unfortunately for the Reconquista crowd, in the end it will be their culture that withers away.

Mexico, despite its abundance of natural resources and close proximity to the world’s largest economy, can’t find a way to bring anyone riches except for a fat man named “Slim” and the politicians who made “Slim’s” financial abundance possible. Mexico, along with many other Latin countries, are the anemic posterity of a failed economic system - communism/socialism/statism. This culture that is winning out in many American cities (sorry, ciudades) is doomed for failure. And yet more billboards like Absolut’s pop up all over the place in my backyard.

Going full circle with this piece I think it is wise to revisit the idea of annexing Mexico. It is a country that is largely out of control - heck, one city can’t even hire a police chief because the previous eight or nine have been assassinated. Mexico is also a city that has a ton of potential. It’s natural resources (yes, oil, it’s always oil with conservatives, haven’t you heard?) are extensive. And they are just to our South making occupation a lot easier considering the fact that a full fifty percent of our occupational force could be comprised of alcoholic spring breakers.

And here is the completion of the circle - Absolut could be the sponsor of America’s counter-conquista. Those drunken coeds will be lured to occupy Mexico because there will be a lot of cheap vodka (by the way, why vodka in a Latin country? Shouldn’t it be, oh I don’t know, tequila?!).

This is why I’m not up in arms over Absolut’s marketing ploy because, in the end, we are going to take over all of Mexico with spring breakers fueled by Absolut. Or America will just continue on in cultural ambivalence trading luxury and ease for encroaching ciudades. One or the other, it’s really a toss up in my mind. BigT

You might be aware of a little problem that has afflicted the United States recently, illegal immigration. This problem is felt in our prisons (where a substantial part of the population is illegal), in our schools (with declining test scores the result), in our culture (with more and more being unable to speak English), and in our workforce (where we have basically allowed the creation of a slave class that will undoubtedly undermine this country even further in the future). But all of this can be solved with a simple solution: annexation.

Yes, my friends, the best way to stop illegal immigration is to co-opt their illegal ways with a possible illegal action of our own (but who cares, we are the strongest country in the world, make our day Luxembourg!). By taking over Mexico we could instill a greater degree of free-markets into that crony economy and protect and foster entrepreneurism.

This act would increase wages and the overall quality of life for our neighbors to our South. Action similar to this has already been done in Ireland except those who helped build up that country, the feckless EU, threw aid their way and, believe it or not, some of it stuck. With the new and improved Ireland we suffered from less illegal immigration from our neighbors to the North-East. In fact, those illegal immigrants that were here went back to Ireland. I’ve even thought about moving there because they offer a spiffy $300,000 incentive package to any technology company but that is best left for another day.

Ireland poses a problem because the countries that make up the EU weren’t able to financially benefit from the revitalized Ireland (at least directly). That is why annexation of Mexico is the best path. If… When we annex Mexico we could give a tax moratorium to any United States individual or company who brings 33% of his company to our new province. This way indigenous Mexicans can work for higher wages and learn new business skills without having to leave the place where their heart is, their home, their cultural center.

Annexation would end the practice of paying slave wages (oxymoronic, I know) in the United States because the day laborers would now become United States citizens and be protected by our laws. After the original condemnation that would doubtlessly follow such a radical move the downtrodden countries of the world will line up to be annexed. This would create a new age in the world where individualism and accomplishments are rewarded and failure is utterly destroyed. The world will be a better place because of this. If only. BigT
