The Alaska Purchase (otherwise known as Seward's Folly or Seward's Icebox) by the United States from the Russian Empire occurred in 1867. The territory purchased was 1,518,800 km² (586,412 square miles ) of the modern state of Alaska, purchase price set at $7,200,000 (about 1.9¢ per acre). At the time, it seemed crazy...looking back...wow, what an opportunity.What I am putting in action today may seem similarly crazy to many, but as with Alaska, I think it will seem ingenious in years to come. It will create a stronger and healthier United States of America and a stronger and healthier Mexico. Today we will be purchasing the top 7 states from Mexico for $1.75 trillion. Total area roughly 870,268 square km., (334,828 square miles). Total population roughly 19,500,000. They are the states of Baja California Norte, Baja California Sur, Sonora, Chihuahua, coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas. This will decrease the number of potential illegal aliens by making 19 million of them American citizens and by pumping that much money
into the infrastructure of their country and economy. We will be getting a fair amount of tourism, industry, mining, agriculture, and petroleum from the deal. It will also be a prime location for wind and solar farms. Mexico will be gaining a lift in life style and comfort for all their people. Our two countries will also be bound more by blood, than just by proximity so we will be stronger allies for one another. We will be implementing a language training program that will have our new fellow countrymen communicating comfortably in English in less than 5 years.Join me in welcoming our newest fellow Americans!
Your friend,
The King

so, uh, why dont we just take all of Mexico?
I have been questioned by several people why don't we buy all of Mexico, or even just take them by force. As the friendly and compassionate King that I am...we don't want to take over Mexico...just help the two of us become stronger and more unified. With the purchase price we are giving them, they will be a much stronger, happier nation. And with the new area we will take responsibility of, we too will become a stronger, happier nation and our two nations will be more united.
Have a happy day,
From the King
