I love how even unconsciously they can't take Mexico. I know it's most probably racism, but we still prevail prior to come back.

I know it's a joke, but Mexico has been a US colony since the NAFTA was established.

Not joking. The USA can take Mexico anytime, but they hardly could keep it. Also, the USA does not rule in Mexico, at least not openly. If you take that USA meddling in other countries affairs is enough to call it a colony, well, then everyone in the world is a colony of the USA. NAFTA was a trade agreement, but it was contingent to whatever is agreed between governments, not whatever the US government says. The renegotiation of NAFTA, the USMCA, is proof of this. If the USA government thinks countries in the world do not have options to trade, it's their mistake. At this point they can be replaced, but that doesn't help anybody in North America.
