Do you think that Mexico will invade the U.S. or just put up a fence to keep most of the lemmings out?

I think both. The Mexicans would be unwise to keep their rear unguarded from any kind of mammal invasion while the bulk of their force is stationed in New York and Washington.

Okay, so the Times article title is hyperbole, I should have rephrased it.

But what would be the effect of privatising Mexico's Oil be? At least half of the country already detest the government's neoliberalism; and it seems the people are proud of owning their oil.

75% of the world's oil supply is now in the hands of nations and not companies. It's such a critical resource that the trend is increasingly to protect it from plunder.
