That would be a non-event given that there are tens of millions of Mexicans already here in California and also in Tejas.

Some is fine. I'd be in favor in implanting full Socialism, look at the example other countries who are that way. The number of educated people, the crime rates, and those countries who have better control of their gun laws. We have one the highest numbers in the world, (http://www.shootingtracker.com/). Our education is one of the lowest in world as well, cause our system does not provide a fair way to become educated.
I'm aware that's how they want the system to be, the less educated one's citizens are; the easier they are to control. Take a look at the Anti-terrorism bills, their packed with items to restrict how and when we access news, content, and above all a mass invasion of privacy.

This practice could become wider spread through the world. If having a computer chip in my hand becomes necessary for me work, I'll have a major issue with that.
It's not that I'm not for it. I am. It's just people in general who don't want it.
Psht... I get hate for it so I keep it on the low.
I don't like being called commie.

I don't like being called commie. I'm not a full blown commie either, people just don't understand the difference between "Socialism" and "Communism". I like a lot of aspects of capitalism, it's not a perfect system but, it can be ran better with oversight of independent moderators.

Right?!?!?!?
Some people are just stupid. No system is perfect.
But trust makes things better. If they take advantage...
I'll throw shit at them.

Stop sending illegal drugs to the US.
That'll teach 'em!
How many armed gangs will rise up against a Trump government because they can't get their drugs?

Eben worse, leaving all those wall street types without their coke might just collapse the economy.

People keep saying "Make America Great Again!"
When in History was America ever greater than it is today? When we denied Health Care Coverage to millions of Americans because they had pre-existing conditions? When gays and lesbians were denied the right to adopt and marry? When blacks were segregated? When women weren't allowed to vote? What era is it that these people desire to go back to so badly? Back before the 'evil' internet? Back when we used waterboarding for torture?

I'd've never thought it of you, Thump. Here you are perpetuating the nonsensical stereotype that the instant anyone arrives in Mexico they develop a fierce case of the trots. I was in Mexico a deal of years ago and had a grand time.
Mind you, I didn't get to see much of the country outside of my hotel room, because the instant I arrived, I developed a fierce case of the trots.
