what difference would there be? lol
mexicans who want to go to the USA do so and have little trouble doing it, though i say this pretty ignorantly, there would probably be a lot of mexicans going to america not the hood ones though.
id really feel sorry for canada though, not the states. |

| Celestus has a point. It could be beneficial for Mexico, it would have no to little effect on the US, and it would suck for Canada. Because it would suck for Canada, I wouldn't want it to happen. |

No way Canada could handle a merge. Their social programs rely on US defense spending, merging the two would just wreck their "perfect society" and complicate matters.
And safe to say neither Canada or the US want to merge with Mexico in its current state. |

| Well at least if Mexico merges, the illegal immigration from Mexico to US problem would be gone. Also the merge would be based off of US laws and everything I think. So this might throw Canada a bit backwards since US is less developed than it. |

"Well at least if Mexico merges, the illegal immigration from Mexico to US problem would be gone. Also the merge would be based off of US laws and everything I think. So this might throw Canada a bit backwards since US is less developed than it."
That means Mexico still is incapable of controlling its own affairs, lest its own borders. Merge with them? No thanks.
There would be no guarantee the merge would be based entirely on US laws, and even so, the US is more developed than Canada, not vice versa. Explain how exactly one would consider Canada to be more developed, given that its culture is heavily influenced by the US and also economically. |

| You're a US American? Mostly every foreigner to North America acknowledges that Canada is the more developed counterpart of US, and yes we know that Canada is practically the same in culture. Canada has a better economy, more up-to-date currency (e.g. braille on currency, polymer), more equality and human rights (e.g. marriage equality, military transgender equality), universal healthcare, less crime rate, less poverty, higher middle class affluency, etc. |

*edit, posting this with no current reply to my latest statement
I guess you could say Canada is more developed in some of its polices, given the smaller population and whatnot, comparable to the Nordic countries.
Even this would deter any want for a merge, as you stated. |

>Better economy That's very debatable. Again, Canada's economics are heavily dependent on US, and vice versa.
>Universal healthcare Not necessarily better, actually. Keep in mind the difference in population, and the US typically having the better quality healthcare.
>Less crime/poverty Again, population matters. |

| Yes that was my point. I think I had said my original post wrong. I meant the Canadians would not want to adopt US policies, currency, so on. |

"Not necessarily better, actually. Keep in mind the difference in population, and the US typically having the better quality healthcare." You have a misconception. Canadian healthcare is not free and does not come on first come first serve basis. They must pay for dentistry, psychology, prescription, anything they bring home such as wheelchair and casts, etc. Also waiting time varies base on the severe of your injury or illness. If you're going to die and you go to the hospital, you are served first. If you break a bone and no internal bleeding, maybe it might take an hour to get in, but you're not going to die of a broken bone within a minute. I di'nt know where that misconception came from, but some people believe it. how odd |

Does Canadian healthcare cover ghosts attacks? Didn't think so.
I'm actually just getting very offtopic here, not looking to get into healthcare discussion. I digress. |

| Ghost attacks? If you go to hospital because there are ghosts in your house you get sent to psychiatry and that is not covered I believe. |

If the US succeeded in the War of 1812, we would have taken and ruled Canada. This didn't happen because we signed a treaty just as the war was turning toward the favor of the US
If the US wanted to, they could have completely overtaken the Mexican government at the end of the Mexican-American War. This would have definitely had an effect on the American Civil War because at the time Mexico had abolished slavery and many within Mexico were against it. This didn't happen because we would have to accept a lot of Spanish speaking Catholics into the US |

Plus, isn't Canada apart of the Commonwealth?

No they'd be quite happy to feed off of United-statesian and Canadian work |

United-statesian
Just type American, please.
Its the official denonym, and no other North or South american country uses that denonym.
