Mexican invasion

For the first time since 1849 Mexican troops crossed into Texas.

For this I have to say; Welcome to the US, Mexico. Welcome to the United North America, and thank you for the aid.

Over the last two and a quarter centuries we have leaned on many countries, France, the UK, Australia, Canada... even Russia... but we always discount our other neighbor, Mexico.

There are reasons, of course. Mexico's police system has been the poster child of corruption, and their politics make the Japanese Diet look like a friendly picnic sometimes.

But we have always treated Mexico like the Uncle no one talks about. We have issues with border control, and there is a marked problem with the Mexican population density here in the US. But, as with individuals, the best way to handle a country in trouble is to respect it, respect the people, and be willing to accept assistance when needed...

Welcome to the United States, Mexico. We really appreciate the help... sorry it took 150 years for us to get over the General Santa Ana/General Houston thing...
