1 Tangential note - when the US acquired the land, there were only about 10,000 Mexican nationals in the entire region in two clusters, one on the west coast and another along the Rio Grande river. Both the Spanish and Mexican governments never gained full control over the Apache or Navajo raiders.

Speaking of which, its just not the Yankee they have to confront, but the indigenous natives who have no interest in these ambitions. It was the presence of the Americans that shut down Mexican slavers who raided the natives in the southwest.

8 All you have to do is look at Mexico to see what whould become of the United State of America if these Reconquista idiots have their way. Seal the border. Stop all trade with Mexico. Ban all travel to and from Mexico. Treat them just like Cuba or Iran.

9 The latest numbers from Skidmark’s Fox News link T #5:

"In President Trump’s first year back in office, nearly 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. because of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, including an estimated 2.2 million self-deportations and more than 675,000 deportations," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement.

Also, though Secretary Noem does not explain how:

"Meanwhile, we have saved taxpayers more than $13.2 billion here at DHS," Noem continued.
