From a pure economic point of view, 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 such 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. They differ greatly 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 many industries in the States to migrate to Mexico, thus implying a great job loss. Many Unions in America are making their best to stop such kind of integration.
