There is some justification for a take over !
We are being invaded, no doubt about it. There are Mexican elements that want to reconquer the South West.
Actually there was a better case to invade during Vicente Fox's regime than presently. Comparing Calderon's war on drug cartels to what Fox did illustrates abundantly that Fox did nothing to stop the cartels. In fact he had a plan to deliberately push millions of Mexicans into the USA. And the mayors of Mexican towns along the border did everything possible to facilitate the migration North, handing out travel packs of food, water, maps and condoms. And Grupo Beta, a branch of the Mexican Government is still lending all assistance to the invaders
It would be realistic to invade Mexico and take 10 kilometers of no mans land along the entire border. That would stop the invasion. Historically there have always been the great bandidos in Mexico, Pancho Villa and others and the USA has been at war with Mexico in the past. There isn't much difference now in 2010 than back in th 1800's. It's still the Wild West and Mexicans raid across the border killing ranchers. Remember Maximillian and the Alamo ?
Presently it will not be possible to get such a plan approved by Congress. Indeed this administration is more likely to give Mexico a 10 kilometer strip of the USA.
The talk of bombing Mexican civilians doesn't help the conservative cause. It hurts all of us and lends credence to the liberal left, Democrat accusations that the tea parties and patriots espouse violence. We do not.

I have to agree that any existing plan to invade Mexico would just be another immigration strategy for Mexico. Think about all the crap we are going through in Iraq and Afghanistan and all the immigration that is related to that. It is an immigration nightmare. Now park all of that right next door to us.
But I do like the idea of occupying parts of Mexico along the border. But it would have to be hostile occupation with no cooperation with the authorities and no coordinated operations with anyone in Mexico. It would be strictly to control borders and make less vulnerable certain border areas.
