That's it exactly.

Mexico HATES immigrants. They are the polar opposite of the United States, on that matter. They tolerate Americans in their country, because of the dollar and US jobs. The geography of Mexico is so inferior to America that they almost cannot be compared. Mexico has no navigable waterway. Its mail system is primitive by American standards. Its sewer systems and water treatment are inferior. As the saying goes, don't drink the water (unless it's bottled). It has limited arable land. The bulk of the population lives in a belt around the middle of the country, that is very mountainous. Very hostile to its southern neighbors, Belize and Central America.
The conditions just cannot exist for the United States to become Mexico. The immigrant invasion is entirely one way.

It was a fascinating story since there was little warning, it was simply a tropical storm offshore but it strengthened to a category 5 hurricane in less that 12 hours. Acapulco, the jewel of the 1960's movie stars no longer exists. The Mexican government sent in 25,000 troops to quell the violence but could not. Total lawlessness, a failed state certainly. Of course it wasn't always that way, but it is now. From your comments I presume America will follow the self-same path to lawlessness. What good are police in armored vehicles when they are outnumbered 1000:1?

Americans, as a group, are too docile, fat, and drugged-up to launch any kind of sustained attack anywhere in the country. You may have a Jan. 6th, or a kidnap plot, but they fizzle out quickly because there is too much to lose for the average citizen.
As bad as the news makes it out to be in America, it is still an amazing place to live. It's just that the United States government decided to declare war on the population. With their militarized police, sensationalized state-run media, massive prison system, price-gouging medical system, usurious banks, bloated Big Pharma, lotteries, and casinos, it feels as if the government wants to destroy the population.
I blame it on the end of the gold standard in 1965 and the removal of money from circulation. It seems, that was the year when the United States government just decided to liquidate the population to pay its bills (see Vietnam War, feminism, abortion, etc.).
