The things you can prove aren't exactly enough to change the status quo.
The only real way to get the status quo to change is to have the government fight itself.
The government treats this situation much like how a lethargic beast would.
It's only when different agendas clash that real change spills forth from the bowels of the beast. |

This is pretty much unprecedented, uncharted territory I think we're possibly headed into here. I don't think we'll see any real change in how most Americans feel about the situation in Mexico until it starts affecting tourism enough: as long as it's still a cheap place to get shit faced and go on vacation Americans won't give a fuck what happens in Mexico.
Unless of course this whole "fleeing the country" thing gets even worse, which it seems to be doing already. People entering the U.S. is already about as incendiary as topics get without whole new waves of escapees adding to the issue.

Well to be fair Willem did say it was "kinda" stupid.
Full-blown war and the US taking over Mexico is unlikely to happen.

Reading "manifest destiny" as an imperative statement seems somehow more appropriate.

We really should have just taken old Mexico when we stole New Mexico, then all this never would have happened.
