Let's offer to buy Baja California from Mexico

I've been floating this one for some time, let me know what you think.

How did the US become the US, in terms of geography? Well, after invading and unethically stealing the land away from the native population, we went out and legitimately bought land. Louisiana Purchase, Seward's Folly, etc etc.

Well, who says we can't do that again?

Let's offer to buy Baja


I figure we've got about 20 Million illegal Mexican immigrants in our country today. There are about 2.5 Million Mexicans living in Baja. Mexico's debt burden is a crushing $173 Billion.

So here's my proposal. We buy Baja for say $300 Billion. Mexico has no debt, and can spend the retired debt service money and additional funds on services for their people, business development and infrastructure - thus getting them out of the rut they'll never get out of otherwise and stimulating their economy.

The people of Baja at time of purchase (2 years + of proven residence) get dual citizenships. The illegal Mexicans here will be encouraged to move to Baja to help build what we'll build there - jobs will be plentiful, where they definitely will not be here (post-bubble). We offer a process for ALL Mexicans where they can immigrate to the US LEGALLY after going through the legal process - mainland or Baja.

We get Baja and we build the heck out of it, stimulating OUR economy. Ports, pipelines, LNG plants, refineries, factories, tourist meccas, homes, etc. We break up California into three states - New Baja California, Southern California and Northern California.

Many details of course to work out, but start with the concept. Someone's gotta figure our way out of this mess. Here's a start.


And of course, the closed minded weirdo crowd will rip on this for being racist, as they do any ideas when it comes to solving the Mexico problem.

Next we can setup camps in Rohde Island where all our Jews can go. Think of the problems that will solve!!!!

The big question is,. Is there an island we can buy to house the black population?

I heard London has a serious problem with foriengers stealing jobs and drinking their beer.

Kieth what is perspective on this problem? Should the foriengers be shot, jail, or sent to Mexico?

missing the point folks. we buy baja and US citizens can move there. we're not forcing anyone to live there.

Why just Baja? Why not just buy the whole country of Mexico?

Now that they are citizens of the US, now they start paying taxes like everyone else. Vicente Fox gets a cabinet position and title, like Secretary of Mexican Affairs. US citizens can now more freely move hotspots like Cancun and set up businesses.
