A year-end report by the Pentagon's Joint forces Command names two countries as likeley candidates for a "rapid and sudden collapse"-Pakistan and Mexico.
The report, named "JOE 2008"(for Joint Operating Enviornment), states:
"In terms of worst-case scenario's for the Joint Force, and indeed the world, two large and important states bear consideration for a rapid and sudden collapse-Pakistan and Mexico."
The threat is real or we're being fed BS to support NAFTA, but I like the idea of KC as a capital.

So what happens if Mexico were to collapse? We do have a good idea to the number of Mexican and other Latin American migrants making their way to and from Mexico. We know that the Mexican drug smuggling gangs control the borderland with the US on the Mexican side. Riots? Drought? Famine? Where do these people go?
Alexander was near Afghanistan when the generals back home divided Macedonia for themselves. The Romans were attacking the Parthian Empire while the Vandals were making their way to Africa.
The pinnacle of the Turk inasion was led by Atilla int he 5th century. Though never capable of reaching Rome his invasion force led to a mass migration of German tribes throughout the northern parts of the Roman empire. The Romans did nothing to thwart the invaders.
There are two ways to deal with a collapse of Mexico: war, famine and genocide or the North American Trade Union (NAFTA). Any war on US soil will most likely lead to internal divison and further to civil war. To preserve the union we must unite Canada and Mexico with the US and create a new capital in Kansas City.

The US is now the largest supplier of weapons to northern Mexican drug gangs. The US does not sign weapons deals or treaties with the Mexican gangs, they simply walk into US gun shops, apply to purchase weapons, secure cash during the standard waiting period and then purchase the weapons. An even more popular method to purchase weapons without waiting periods and background checks by simply purchasing weapons from US citizens, gun groups and religous groups.
