The other factor and the determining one is that the Mexican people wouldn't want to scarifice their soveriegnty.
It is an interesting thought but not really feasable.
Actually a bit yes. but only a very little bit.
I dont think it would take all that long.
Im thinking closer to ten years then 50
I see Tourism being a major boom to them in the short term right from the outset.
Developers would have a feild day that would last years and years.
Think of all the retirees. Florida is getting kinda full
They wouldnt have to go to the money and come here.
the money would go to them.
As for sovereignty.
Thats why I said to bypass Fox and pose the question to the mexican people themselves. they still would have a measure of sovereignty the way the rest fo the states do.
The only ones I can see being against this would be the Texans as it really would make Texas the third largest state:)
