House Democrats Vote to Make America Mexico’s 32nd State

House Democrats voted to pass a resolution that would designate the United States as Mexico’s 32nd state, citing the need for “greater cultural unity” and “streamlined border management.”


The bill’s proponents argue it will simplify trade relations and eliminate the need for immigration enforcement. Spearheaded by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the resolution emerged from discussions on immigration reform but failed when only receiving 205 votes.


Supporters claim the move will foster economic growth by merging the U.S. workforce with Mexico’s.


“This is about embracing our neighbors and building a future without racist walls,” Ocasio-Cortez said during a press conference outside the Capitol.

Critics, most Republicans, expressed concern over the logistical challenges of integrating the U.S. into Mexico’s federal system. The Congressional Budget Office has yet to estimate the cost of reissuing all U.S. passports as Mexican documents.


“I’m not sure my constituents want to start paying taxes in pesos,” said Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky.


Recent data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows a record 2.5 million migrant encounters at the southern border last year.


“If borders are just lines on a map, let’s erase them and get to the real work of unity,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who voted in favor of the resolution.


Outside the Capitol, a small group of protesters waved Mexican flags in support of the measure. Others, holding American flags, demanded a reversal.


“This resolution was retarded and I'm glad the House voted against it,” said Senator Rand Paul.

Legal scholars question the resolution’s constitutionality, noting that no mechanism exists for a nation to cede itself to another. The Supreme Court is expected to face pressure to intervene if the measure advances.


“This is a stunt, but it’s a dangerous one,” said constitutional law professor and friend of Jeffrey Epstein, Alan Dershowitz.


A recent Gallup poll showed 53% of Americans oppose any reduction in national sovereignty, while 29% are open to closer ties with Mexico.


“I just want to know if I get free tacos now,” tweeted one user, not understanding the severity of the situation.


Mexico’s government has not yet responded to the proposal, though sources indicate officials in Mexico City are “flattered but perplexed.”


The debate over America’s potential status as a Mexican state is likely to intensify in the coming weeks, leaving many to wonder what this means for the nation’s identity.
