Or at least that is what I expected when I saw this headline.

White House Advisor Karl Rove's shrewd move back into matters purely political may have already stuck gold for the GOP, as President Bush announced a new Administration campaign designed to ease pressure on the nation's oil supply while preserving its supply of illegal alien labor.

President Bush estimates the amount of oil required for a short term visa.

Under the new "Oil for Amnesty" plan, otherwise illegal aliens from Mexico and other oil-rich Central and South American countries would be granted temporary visas, the length of which would be directly tied to the amount of oil they are able to bring with them from their home countries.

Following the official announcement, Mexican President Vincente Fox was among the first to take advantage of the program.

Oil prices fell immediately after Bush's speech.

In a week that saw White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan resign and Presidential advisor Karl Rove move away from a policy role, it appears that the biggest, and most surprising shakeup is Vice President Dick Cheney's bid to become a candidate for the next opening on the Supreme Court. more...

In a move anticipated by Instapundit blogger Glenn Reynolds last night, (now former) Mexican President Vicente Fox signed over sovereignty of Mexico to American President George W. Bush this morning in Washington, D.C.

Citing rampant corruption within his own government, poor economic planning and internal development under his regime that has left Mexico bereft of a middle class, Fox said, "it is the only right thing to do for the Mexican people. Generations of Mexican government has proven we have no business running a country."

"At this time, 12 million Mexicans are already taking advantage of the American economy and have developed a taste for American services. It seems only fair to extend the rights of America to the rest of my former country."

While a beaming Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was present for the impromptu and hastily prepared signing, the Administration firmly rebuked charges made by anonymous sources that Rumsfeld had threatened an "undocumented redeployment" of America military forces to secure Fox's signature.

Upon hearing of the historic agreement, Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo hastily called for the construction of a border wall separating the new American States of Chaipas, Campeche, and Quintanta Roo from illegal aliens infiltrating from Belize and Guatemala.

President Bush reassured Tancredo that existing immigration laws between the former Mexican States and it's two southern neighbors would "remain the same" as they were under Mexico's immigration laws. This means future illegal aliens would not have rights to public political discourse, certain basic property rights, equal employment rights, and that illegal immigrants may be expelled for any reason. Tancredo was said to be satisfied.

2 Humor aside, I feel the time to restart "Manifest Destiny"is upon us! Let's offer the nice people of Mexico U.S> Citizenship and all of the goodies that come with being part of the United States of North America. There would soon be a minimum wage, all the corporations who moved South would have to start paying taxes, and we all could benefit from the wealth of raw materials available. Plus, a border with Central America would be smaller and easily defended. As for Canada....

5 Sorry CY, I should have read the eintire things instead of hitting a couple of points and then jumping to conclusions. As for the issue I believe it will probably not happen espcially if Fox's heir apparents opponent wins, he likes the us even less then good ole Castro does.

6 Great article! I was thinking the same thing the last few days, but never got around to 'making the proposal'. This crazy idea solves everyone's problem: Mexico's corrupt and ineffective government would disappear, and they would no longer have to send their citizens north to survive. We gain the taxes from the businesses and retired Americans who migrated to Mexico. Homeland Security (what a joke) could just take over Mexico's borders, and our legal systems would not be clogged with illegal--excuse me, "undocumented"--immigrants. This is a better policy than the Rube Goldberg contraption that the Senate is considering.
