The news has been filled of late with reports on the crackdown on illegal aliens who are living and working in the United States without benefit of proper paperwork. It seems that whole towns have been laid waste after ICE has come in and arrested dozens of undocumented workers. Economies have suffered as well as the workers themselves.
There are a number of industries (hotel, farming, and construction come to mind) that would have a hard time functioning without the help of undocumented workers and some critics of the immigration crackdown think that stricter enforcement of the the current immigration laws could have a negative effect on some economies. Yet, one must keep in mind that these people are here illegally and are breaking one or more laws.
Making Mexico the 51st state would mean that all of the Mexican nationals living here illegally would become American citizens, thus eliminating the majority of the illegal alien problem. Statehood would also eliminate the need for a border fence. Mexico would no longer be a haven for criminals, and our land border with countries south of us would become much smaller.
In my humble opinion, making Mexico the 51st state is even a better idea now.
