Canada shares many aspects of the US's culture, and thanks to NAFTA and physical distances it's much cheaper to emigrate. You still have to prove that you're not going to be a drain on the state and you'll still have to apply for emigration, but it's easier there.

I agree. I am mexican and love Mexico and its people. Although, the mexicans that live in Mexico are much different than the ones living in the U.S. But still, I think the majority of mexican people are humble, nice, sweet and very lively. ITs very ignorant for some people to say bad things of Mexico and their people when they have never even traveled to Mexico.

I live in America, and have been to the other places that you mention.\n\nThe US is the best place to live in terms of cost of living and quality of life with great amenities. France is ridiculously expensive, and I can think of few people living in a place like Manhattan or Los Angeles moving to Ireland. \n\nImran

There's a whole nation to the north of you that has a higher standard of living, its economy is in better shape, the minimum wage is higher, has universal health care instead of a bloated military that spends trillions on weapons that are never used, is not obsessed with imposing one religion or another on its multicultural citizens, is present as peacekeepers in the world's hotspots, has soldiers coming home dead or injured due to American "friendly fire", has marriage for all, and is a parliamentary democracy. It's the second largest nation on the planet, shares the North American continent, and by and large, most of its population has no desire to be American.

Sure, Sam Houston beat the Mexican Army back in 1836, then the US military had beaten them again 1848. There is plenty of oil there to help out with growth not to mention the labor pool that has improved their skill in the past 30 years.  Mexico being added to the US would do wonders for the economy, then 70% of the poorest of the population would increase their standard of living into the modern world. But we would have to sink in tons of money in Federal programs to break up all the corruption, that in itself makes it not worth it.

CORRUPTION mexico is full of it. if there wasnt corruption that country would be like Canada. Serioulsy, from an educated person from mexico I know what Im talking about. I had a friend ask me the same question he was like: "how come if mexico is next to the best country in the world it is so poor" I had one word for him Corruption.

America does not offer, because they know that they will not accept.  Mexico, though more impoverished, has a common trait with other countries: the desire to be an autocracy or self-governing country.  Also, many people are already against imperialism-immoral, causes more problems for america, etc- so it would be difficult to convince congress to agree with the decision to take over mexico.

Mexico's Club teams are generally more entertaining to watch. They have a little more flair and ball control. In the states it's more of a defensive game. Kinda boring to watch.\n\nInternationally speaking, the US and Mexico have an excellent rivalry. The games are physical and played with fantastic passion. The US cannot beat Mexico in Mexico, but the Mexicans cannot beat the US in America. It's a definite home field advantage.

Good question. Many job opportunities exist in mexico, some of the same things they do here for a living. In the village where I stayed for three weeks, many people ran food and drink shops from their homes. Many were street vendors, almost all raised some animals and farmed their land. Some ran transportation and phone services. There was a mill to have your corn ground into flour that everyone seemed to use. My ex husbands family supplied milk to several villages. He even attended college for a while even though his family was one of the poorest in the village at the time. While better opportunities exist in the US to make more money, I saw no desperate people there. They have the perception that Americans are rich, and they come here for that dream. I just don't think its my place to fund that dream for them.

I guess I like the United States because there is at least some semblance of freedom here, and economically, there is less suffering here. Even the poor people in the US are not that poor compared with many other countries in the world.

US is a dream place for most of the people from every corner of the world....many reason a few are:\n\n1.place of techno(known for the implementation of hi fi and advanced technologies)\n\n2.Place of mixed cultures.\n\n3.Scenic and interesting places\n\n4.Highly competitive(great oppurtunity to explore selves)\n\n5.Birth place of many history makers.\n\n6.Good economy\n\n7.A better education with good techonology.\n\n8.NASA ...just name make me say wow!\n\n9.Mother of greatest movies...hollywood the root hub for english movies.\n\n10.Efficient military forces.\n\nIt is definately not a better place in the world to live in...a place according to me is better when it is blessed with warm people....whom ego hardly matters...who respects humanity to racism.\n\n\n:)
