What would happen to us if we went to Mexico, held a rally and demonstrated like they did here in CA?

It depends on what you would be planning to protest. They would probably apply the article 33 of the Mexican Constitution.

What should we do...?  SIMPLE. \n\nBlack people will go back to Africa, and the White people will go back to Europe, same for the Asians back to Asia, and GIVE THIS LAND BACK TO THE INDIANS. \n\nIf that is not the case, THAN WHY does it bother you to see a Mexican coming in?

All of the above sounds good, but most of all I would be careful there has been a lot of rally's going on due to immagration..   Have fun!    PHB

We should, but it wont happen.  The Mexican government can't provide needed service to its poor people that is why they headed north to the US where they can got free medical, free services.

I don't know if you will consider this an intelligent answer or bashing, but this is my opinion: Not only would prices go up, but availability would go down.  I tried doing agricultural work in the 70's when I was a young and inquisitive hippie type.  I cannot imagine that any of us spoiled Americans who could possibly get any other type of work would want to do that for more than a few days.  It is NOT FUN.\n  I think that the produce would rot in the fields if there were no Mexicans available to pick it.  Most of us would be unable and unwilling to go out there and do anything that is that uncomfortable and dirty and exposes you to the sun, and agricultural chemicals, snakes, etc.\n  It is my opinion that the hype over closing the Mexican border has more to do with making middle Americans feel insecure than it does with Mexicans really.  I also believe that the typical Mexican working in the US would much prefer to be legal, would chose to be if it were easily possible.\n  I frequently travel from the middle of Mexico to the middle of the US by bus, the border has buses from Mexico lined up 24/7 all full of Mexicans, all going to every part of the US.  You never hear about those people on the news, do you?\n  I have found travel in the US to be less easy, more expensive, and more hassle these last few years.  What we need to be asking is why are our freedoms being curtailed?  All of this hype over Mexicans is just being put out to distract Americans from the facts of lessening freedom for us.  \n  Of course our country could not run without the Mexican work force.  Take a look around your own town wherever it is, I bet you will find a whole section that is Mexican.  Mexican groceries, clothes, Drs, all anyone would need, including buses that are totally run in Spanish and cross the border daily.\n  You needn't worry that the borders are going to be closed to Mexicans, what you need to worry about is are they going to be closed to YOU unless you are rich...  The folks who are putting out this brainwashing have no real interest in the rights/abuses of Mexicans, they are after your rights.\n  I hate to put this out there, because it is probably just going to get me in trouble, but I think a lot of the stuff that is on the news is nothing but brainwashing.\n  Some of the people here in Mexico believe that there may be as much as 30% of the Mexican workforce in the US at this time, and I know for sure that the American retirees are here spending money like crazy, I spend most of mine here in Mexico.\n  There are larger issues of economics and social control here, you can count on it.  We are not being told the truth, we are being manipulated by someone, I have no idea who, but I bet they are super-rich...  And they have no intention of cutting off their own supply of cheap labor.  They just want you to be too afraid to do anything but earn and spend money which is all they care about you for.  Whew! glad I got that off my chest, hope you find my opinion interesting.

Probably they would think how stupid they were. the only people who want to go TO Mexico are the low lives who realize that those who are upper-middle class here, are kings over there.  The government would love it.  more tax dollars and more money going around.  For their people to buy supplies to go to AMERICA.  Trust me, it would be the total opposite reaction for what we're giving them. (At least the SMART people)

Oh heck no if that was to happen it would be the ghetto of the USA. I read in an artitical a few week back where Vincente Fox of Mexico was talking to some people of Columbia saying that the Mexicans were going to over rule our government. Don't know how true the source really was but as daddy says talk is cheap.

Nothing, maybe Mexico will start taking care of their own people and not encouraging them to coming up to the United States.

The US/Mexico war was going to happen anyway.  There was room for only one major continental power.  The US also was sure of its Manifest Destiny Doctrine and that meant that the two nations had to duke it out.  We won and took the legitimate spoils of war in the eyes of the people of that era.  There was even some debate about annexing ALL of Mexico but it was not viable at that time.

I've speculated on this myself.  Once upon a time we purchased new territory peacefully: Florida, Louisiana, Gadsden purchase; I'm sure we could probably afford to buy Mexico and end all of the corruption that keeps it a poor country compared to the US.

too much cheap labor would be lost, big corps would have to pay taxes and real wages to citizens, and mexico doesn't want them back...their prez encourages immigration, legally or illegally.

Do you mean who would reap the benefits more. Of course the USA. Competition: If you don't have a college education you don't go far in this country. I don't see that as being a bad thing, more like a motivator. Geez! Don't yell. You should have said that in the first place. Politically USA more on Mexico.

Life would go on... I don't think America is going to fall apart without any one minority (not that I have anything against Hispanics, or minorities in general)... I suspect this is in response to 'what would happen if illegal immigrants get mad and leave the USA.  This seems to be the line the media is running with these days, but the mass protests on May 1st didn't affect the economy in any substantial manner (the 10cent hike in gas prices has done far more than they could hope to do), heck it even made my day better, since a segment of the population wasted their time making fools of themselves protesting in the streets instead of impeding traffic on the interstate...

The outcome would be a large amnesty, but this issue could be solve by an anchor baby becoming the president of the United States., A Mexican American president Would be very nice. that way we could be a very large country, stronger indeed. I like the Idea.
