Closing borders is extreme imperialism
You just can't do that It's latinx homies land to begin with

You could always do the thing Mexicans are most famous for, and leave Mexico

Mexico can become a first world country but why doesn't the people or government want that

They were until New Spain ended. Mexico was more developed than the US prior to the 20th century. There's a reason the US uses dollars instead of pounds, the original British colonies used the pound, but because of how much trade was going on with Spanish colonies the dollar surpassed it in usage and eventually replaced it entirely.

Yeah no shit the US only started as a country. Mexicans have been here from day one and are still less developed.

I thought this was a rare cuban, nork, iranian, or even venezuelan thread. Now I'm disappointed.

America had a GDP per capita triple that of Mexico by 1870

Richer in what way? In Silver and gold that was all shipped to spain? Or an abundance of cash crops that were made by slaves? I doubt the average person was any better off than in north americs a not to mention they also had feudalism and a caste system in place.

Economics didn't work the same way as it does today, back then production capacity mattered far more than just population. The US had a 'modern' industrial base before the Spanish colonies did and New Spain was already in decline back then, still more developed in that it had better infrastructure, but they weren't industrializing at the rate the US was. The US basically leap frogged over them by being an early adopter.
