The Expansionist

Mexican Statehood. I sent the following letter to the New York Post today:

THO one can readily agree that "No foreign policy development would be better for the 21st-century United States than a prosperous, rule-of-law Mexico", Ralph Peters is unwise in staking all bets on one man, Mexico City mayor Lopez Obrador. We don't know what secrets he may have, and many Latin American knights in shining armor have turned out to have black hearts. The most famous is one Fidel Castro.

The only way to ensure Mexican prosperity and the rule of law is to admit Mexico to the Union as several states, perhaps 10. Had the All-Mexico Movement after the Mexican War succeeded, Mexico would long ago have become a prosperous region of the United States, adding immeasurably to our wealth and power. Instead, we took only the relatively unpopulated north of the country, and threw the rest back. Now we're all paying for that racist mistake in judgment. It's time to invite Mexico into the Union. Our futures are inextricable. Erase the border.

(Responsive to "A Dirty Frame", column by Ralph Peters in the New York Post, April 27, 2005)
