"SNIP.....

Daniel McCarthy (R), who is challenging Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) in the Republican primary, suggested the United States annex Mexico, RealClearPolitics reports.

Said McCarthy: “There is a process to become states for the United States. Clearly 30 million Mexican illegal immigrants want to be United States citizens, probably half the country wants to be United States citizens.”

McCarthy also suggested that adding some “beachfront property” to U.S. territory might be nice.

4. So, so far, we have Greenland, Mexico, and what else? Of course nothing from the 'shithole'...

countries (pardon my language, I am repeating our so called idiot president), maybe some of the Nordic countries such as Sweden, Norway, etc.? I doubt that they would be interested (for that matter, I doubt any of these countries would ever want to become part of the US as long as s**tstain is president)...maybe the Moon or Mars?

countries, with the exceptiin of Greenland, would guarantee democrats win everything. All the time. Even if canada went comatose and somehow got annexed, our 36 million - 3/4 would be voting left in regards to us politics - would be the end of republicans. That is probably why Trump went for Greenland. Of course there is always colonialism.

Then we could secede from the union.
