It is a very difficult proposition. On a pure economic standpoint, Mexico is a developing country with a much lower income per capita than the United States. A Mexican earns on average a quarter of what an American earns (USD 13,500 vs. 46,400). If Mexico is ever integrated into the Union, many issues would arise, such as trying to absorb 47 million workers (the Mexican workforce) and level up their wages. The easiest way to level the wages of both countries would be to lower the wages of Americans. This of course is a major stopper for such integration.
Another problem is the Mexican laws. Some of them greatly differ from American laws, and although this theoretically should not be an issue, it could have a great impact on both economies. For instance, Mexican environmental laws are much more relaxed. This would prompt the already dying industries in the States to migrate to Mexico, thus implying a great job loss. Many Unions in America would be making their best to stop such kind of integration.
