    Didn’t his base want to get rid of all the Mexicans? 'Cause adding Mexico as a state will mean taking in, like, all the Mexicans…

      You think they’d get to stay in Mexico? Nah, they’d get the Native American treatment. They’d be forcibly marched through hostile lands “peacefully relocated”, and forced to live in inhospitable and unworkable areas “given a reservation of land to live on.”

      Then when America wanted to expand again, America would repeatedly and unapologetically encroach on the reservations “renegotiate treaties” to claim more land. All the while, the government would be attempting to eliminate their culture by kidnapping their kids for white Americans to raise “generously re-homing needy children”

        You are absolutely correct. But I would like to point out that many of the peoples of Mexico are Native Americans. As a tribal member myself I like to remind people that we didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us.

          No shit, there are a large amount of USAmericans who don’t understand this. I have brought this up to people arguing about “Mex’cans in 'Merica”. They honestly don’t know this, and when they realize it’s true they just double-down on their bullshit. It gets in their way of trying to justify their fear of brown people.

      Naw, we’ll just deport them anyway, and take their beachfront property.

      Trump can get some advice from Bibi

        I think Trump really wants to try a Hitler on all of the Americas. I wonder if BRIC will be able to stop him like the soviets did in WW2?

      Yes.

      They’re not gonna let the Mexicans live in Mexico any more than this assclown’s best bud bibi is letting gazans live in Gaza. Any land grab will look the same. And wow, do they have no fucking idea what they’d be up against.

      Trump could unite the cartels …against America.

      Remember what happened to all the Native Americans who were forced out of their lands back in 1492?

        They used Poland as a military governed area to deport people, then perform extrajudicial killings… then they started settling it with Germans.

      I’m sure he’s already thought of adding the new state renamed like “South America” or something. They’re all Americans now …… plus a new reason for invading Venezuela and any other country that infringes on the name of our 52nd state
