If Mexico did become a state, Mississippi would suddenly look like New York. >_>

Of course, Mexico becoming a state would gut its economy -- which is largely built around cheap labor, often in unsafe working conditions (a real minimum wage and better working standards would send a large chunk of those jobs south of Mexico's border) -- while the cartels would be forced to either move further south or operate less openly. And, in at least short-term spending, Mexico becoming a state would balloon the national debt.

That would mean that they would become tax payers. Then their taxes would pay for the wall.

Well, it's one way to get them to pay for that wall =p
