- bradhart2, on 04/08/2008, -0/+1I would disagree with the hype over this. Frankly most Americans just don't care if California gets its feelings hurt. They care even less about advertising in Mexico for a product most Americans don't drink. Unless they knew it would be controversial and were going to pull it anyways, it was a blunder for them to pull the ad to satisfy reactionaries.

But instead. what we should do is simply annex north Mexico from Nogales, Arizona directly westward to Baja to include the whole penisula. Since there's so many illegals here may as well make them and their land citizens, tax them, auction off lands to raise funds for their up-keep and then build condominiums.
