    There'd be no need to "come here" cause they'd be here. Remember in that scenerio we would buy Mexico. The econmy down there would balloon and the money would be made there.

    BUY MEXICO!

    I can't see your logic Leo... IF in the above scenerio were true all the money to be made would be there. The grey hairs (snowbirds) buying up condos (timeshares) business and there'd be no border anymore. Mexico would be the "official 51st state" instead of Canada!*lol*

    BUY MEXICO!

    Diesel cargo Van VS Gas cargo Van.
