Because Mexico is a country of it's own, with millions of inhabitants. Mexico has no interest in becoming part of the US.

because mexico is fine on its own it doesnt need fat people running it !

The US actually conquered Mexico during the Mexican-American war. The US took the northernmost third of the Mexican territory and then gave the rest of Mexico back to the Mexicans.

If America made Mexico part of the United States then Mexicans would be American citizens and be able to vote and have congressmen.

Currently, congress doesn't want to make Puerto Rico into a state because they don't want to have to give them senators and representatives - congressmen are afraid that creating more seats in congress will "dilute" their power.

Mexico would have WAY more senators and representatives than Puerto Rico would. So, you definitely would not see the US Congress wanting to incorporate Mexico into the US.

The US would probably have to become officially bilingual if that many Spanish speakers suddenly became citizens. That would probably be rather upsetting to all the Americans that are still trying to get English declared the official language of the US.

Of course, the Mexicans may not want to be part of the US, as well.

The Mexican Government might object.

It is a country and we can keep it at that.

After the Mexican-American War, in the 1840s, fully half of Mexico was taken over by the US, including what became Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. Merging what remains would not be in the best interests of either country.

Are you advocating taking over a sovereign country? Don't we have enough wars going on? No wonder other people of the world believe the US is the ultimate war-like nation. We will never have Mexico as anything but a an ally and trade partner.

HAPA CHIC

its its own country !
its arrogancy to think america can just take whatever they want .

you already have poverty areas ....try to deal with your own poor first

patsmight

cause the mexicans dont want to be a part of the US. maybe almost all of the people in mexico are poor but they still have pride and love their country.

sunny-d alright!

Why should we? They're better off without us, just like Canada. Seriously.

It would improve the average intelligence of the states

because Mexicans would not want to be part of this country...who would?

for those who said Mexico is part of the U.S. check your history, all the Mexican American War did as well as the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was steal land from Mexico so that the U.S. could go on with their idea of Manifest Destiny....
Mexico is part of North America therefore its people are still American...as well as all the people of central and south America

Loved Hapa chic, lpaganus and midnite's responses...... and the last guy before me has a good point as well!!! WHO WOULD WANT TO BECOME A PART OF THE USA??? no thanks........ we ARE already americans, and no, we aren't interested at all in becoming part of the U.S.A. -- we might have poverty, corruption and a bunch of problems, but we are FREE and sovereign and so shall we remain!!!! We MOST DEFINTELY are better off without the USA messing with us more than they already do!!!

Nazki13

Because we don't want to be from the USA and we like our nation... that's why!

ricEater

mexico doesnt want us, they hate that we took cali

I'm Just Me â™¥

cuz we didnt feel like it. and they gave us texas.

Because, we use Mexican immigrants to do our labor on assembling and constructing for a much lower price than it would cost here. (think health care, insurance, lunch break, health condition cost...) Anyway, if we made them part of our country, we would have to offer them the same benefits, and alas, we would be forced to ship our products off to communism land or China.

Hannah M

Which country are you talking about?Because we do have Mexico here in America!!!!!!

Black Belt

why would we want it?

lilpink

agold_12

Do we really want mexico?

munkiseemunkidu

idk. I think that they should. It would be alot easier for everyone. I think that the US doesn't want to be liable for their expenses though. The US doesn't want to help them and get the how we are now. You know what I mean.

omarr03
