You are missing the point almost as badly as if you’d said ‘well, because you can’t sail a carrier group up the Rio Grande’!
Not really no.
The point is stupid BECAUSE of Republican measures after the Civil War to ensure ot wasn't a military occupation of the south.

We can't deploy federal forces OUTSIDE of MPs as police forces

The point is that we aren’t using 1/10th the resources or money we could be even within the laws as are.
What resources are you talking about?
How is money gonna fix it?
These are the questions we need to answer.
My answer is we invade Mexico and make ot a state

Not having Bden and company block the construction of the border wall and interfering with the border states trying to keep the invaders out for a start.

Make Mexico a state. Good Lord, you are serious. And here I thought the depths of your stupidity had been reached.

Putting aside the fact that most Mexicans would not appreciate being conquered, making Mexico a state would make the occupations in the Middle East look easy.

Mexico's problems wouldn't suddenly disappear, they'd just become the United States' problems.

How do you fix the standard of living? Government programs? Well, that money has to come from somewhere, and that probably will mean the current US will subsidize them heavily. So, good luck with that.

The cartels won't go away instantly, either. The federal government would have to deal with them (again, money and effort). Never mind that those same cartels, along with other gangs and mafias already operate within the USA currently. So how would the USA invading Mexico do anything but spread the USA so thin that the Cartels would have more power?

Also, dealing with the cartels/ occupying Mexico means you’d either have to massively increase the size of the US military in terms of materials and soldiers in uniform (good luck with that) or massively shift support away from the USA’s shadow-empire overseas. Which is unthinkable you, and every neo-con and other politician in the pockets of the military industrial complex.

The illegal immigrant problem, even, wouldn't disappear, it'd just change. There still would not be as good of economic opportunities in Mexico, but now all the Mexicans looking for better lives could legally migrate north. Congrats, you’ve just made the problem 50-times worse and given the Democrats even more voters to appeal to.

Again, why are you claiming it has *anything* to do with resources in the company of people who know better?
Are you the last (supposed) right winger in the world who believes the bullshit that there are US politicians who genuinely would have wanted to have effective border control but don't just because they can't arrange budget resources to make it so?

To be fair the worst of Mexico's problems are the USAs fault.

The CIA is sabotaging their elections and helping the cartels to ensure they have a steady stream of undocumented child slaves being sent across the border.
The USA deep state is deeply involved in mexico

Real investigative journalists just need to (and have done so) take a casual stroll across the border to find baby trafficking stations.
Naturally corporate media refuses to air those videos.

Alright.
And how do you expect these states to protect the borders even with a competent government?
The wall? That can Atilla be crossed....
Also, the Biden gov is building a wall as well.

...

Are you for real?

Are you seriously implying that it's impossible to secure the border?
No, it is not easy but money is not what is needed for it.

And the military can not be sent in an active role due to laws dating from reconstruction

It is easy if people are willing to do what's necessary. Building a wall along the entire border is not only possible but would be an effective preventative measure for most traffic. The next step is to take a hostile stance on illegal aliens and actually punish them severely for trying to illegally enter the US. You gotta make life a living hell for illegals so they determine its not worth coming here and fuck off back to wherever they come from.

"Make Mexico a state" ?
That would be a rather large state - the largest one in the Union. How many members of Congress would they get?

Mexico is itself made up of multiple regions, which are somewhat different from each other. I think there are actually parts of it that Mexico City has never really ruled over except on paper.
Trying to assimilate all that to North American standards of government? That would keep the US busy...

Also @Zachowon surely there is a scenario in which the US military would be expected to operate on CONUS soil: If they had to repel an external invasion.

If the Chinese or Russians managed to orbital-drop a big load of infantry, tanks, etc in the middle of Kansas and were marching in and occupying cities... would they only have to face the National Guard?

It is worth noting that USA does have colonies and a path towards integration.
It is a multi step process that takes years.

Puerto rico has been a colony of the USA since 1898. and have halted their integration at the final step. they are technically USA citizens.

US troops can be deployed in that as that is a situation where war would be declared or martial law would be declared allowing troops to operate within the US.
Posse comitatus would not be in play because we are not being used in policing manner, but as a fighting force to locate engage and destroy the enemies of thw united states
