The Village Hemorrhoid is talking about the screwworm making inroads into Mexico. Wasn't supposed to get this far north. Something needs to be done. I expect the gummint is doing something. Let's hope it's effective.
Mexico seems to be a bit of a mess. I was thinking we could solve that problem by making them the 52nd state, after we annex Canada. We do that and the USA would cover the entire North American continent. Wait, isn't that common thing in science fiction novels? The Noram Complex? Maybe, I'm pretty sure I remember reading it somewhere, but Google isn't helping.
Of course, since Mexico is such a mess maybe we don't want it as a state, but it might work well as a colony. Of course any number of people would object, but even if we treated Mexico like white men have always treated colonies of colored people, could it be any worse than it is now? Besides, in this 'enlightened' age we might treat them considerably better. I don't see much chance of the USA taking over Mexico in the next ten years or so, but who knows? There could be some major upheaval next week in lower Elbonia that will turn the world on it's head.

There was thought, at the end of the Mexican/American War, of annexing the Yucatan. Sadly, they didn't do it.
The only way I see to unscrew Mexico is make it an American colony for about 100 years to override the damage the Spaniards did while it was New Spain.
