Wow, you are getting down voted.<p>Honestly, I&#x27;m kind of amazed with how little political violence there is (like, zero) around the US-Mexico border considering the history here.  I also tend to share your opinion about the war, which is pretty much Lincoln and Ulysses S Grant&#x27;s opinion about the war, which is that it was unjust.<p>Look at the border wars that go on out there in the world.  Where is our border war?  There isn&#x27;t one.  Mexican immigrants want to peacefully live and work in the territories that were (again, I&#x27;d say &quot;in my opinion&quot;, but instead let&#x27;s say &quot;Lincoln and Grant&#x27;s opinion&quot;) pretty egregiously annexed through force with no justification.<p>To me, this peaceful border is a giant gift that the US treats like some kind of curse.  The biggest problem as far as I see it is a violent drug cartel war that (in my opinion, not Lincoln or Grant&#x27;s opinion) is at least to some extent a product of a very misguided drug policy in the US.<p>Beyond that, I&#x27;d prefer to see us mimize the relevance of this border.  And at this point, data suggests there won&#x27;t be some mass movement north anyway (for all I know, you might start seeing more US citizens moving south).
