My personal opinion is the greatest threat to our nation is at our border right now. The cartels are a much bigger threat than we are acknowledging. Not that our military can't decimate them, we certainly can and the remaining criminals will scatter.
There's not a need for us to go marching into Mexico and do a Bush/Rumsfeld "hearts and minds" mission. Mexico DOES have a government and army. If the United States made a real commitment to Mexico to help them rid their nation and their government of these criminals, an awful lot could be done.
Mexico has the potential for fabulous wealth and prosperity once it gets out from under the heel of international criminals and I would love to see Mexico achieve greatness! Imagine a North America of USA, Canada and Mexico all as major economic powers!

Yeah a super power continent would be awesome, hah.
But I think before we go and glom them into the US. We should at least take out the cartels and give them the opportunity to improve!
