And it's pretty much universal...
If we take over Canada, we've gotta take care of their poor, their weak, their mentally ill, etc...
Colonization was good for about 150 years. Everyone's too smart for it now. There's a reason we don't just take over Mexico. If we did, we'd have Mexicans going anywhere they wanted and needing resources to bring them up to the American standard.
Also, Mexico doesn't want to be taken over - but that's silliness on their part. They've got national pride and a very rich culture. That's fine... So didn't everyone else that amalgamated to become the mishmash America we have now.
That's a good thing. If they weren't concerned about that, they'd be doing everything they could think of to try to make the US take over and make them a state or territory or whatnot.
The Mexicans are pretty much everywhere in America as it is
Only a trivial amount. Imagine all of 'em being a part of our society - including things like getting tax refunds, EBT, etc...
Hell, Canada is gonna expect you to provide full health care as a single-payer system. While I agree with that, a goodly portion of America is not very smart and doesn't actually understand the issues. So, you're gonna get Joe Sixpack wired up for sound even though it's a far better system.
It might be better in some ways but I think its worse in some ways too. It amazes me how many people need to see a doctor regularly. The only time I ever see a physician is in an emergency situation
