Should the US complete its border fence with Mexico?
No; it is a waste of resources and it is useless unless active patrols are established. This in turn, requires thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of Border Patrol officers to guard such fence over a border of 3,141 Kilometers (1,952 miles). Finally, such numbers of officers are impractical due to the associated costs.
Mexico is geographically in North America, along with Canada and the United States. However, you should know that a small part of Mexico, specifically the eastern Yucatan Peninsula, borders the Caribbean Sea. So that area is sometimes referred to as "the Mexican Caribbean".
The Caribbean is generally thought of as the group of islands East of Mexico and South of Florida. Mexico is generally thought of as in North or Central America not the Caribbean.
Name the oceans of New Mexico?
New Mexico is a landlocked US state surrounded by Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and the country of Mexico (sorry, no oceans).
The country of Mexico however, has the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea to the east.
Is Yucatan peninsula a good place to farm?
No. It is mostly a flat land composed of limestone; due to this nature, there are almost no surface rivers in the peninsula and most water comes from holes in the ground known as cenotes; the soil quality is poor at best and very few crops are grown over there, such as sisal, maize, beans, chili, pumpkin and orange.
How is American sense of humor different from Mexican sense of humor?
The difference is mainly the British's exaggerated use of sarcasm. American humor is more gentle and mild where the British humor is crude and in most cases rather mean.
I wouldn't say that American humour is mild, at all. From what I have seen in films and on T.V. it uses physical comedy more than English humor does. English humour is sarcastic, but isn't crude or mean in most circumstances, it seems more cleverly worded humour.

Why did war break out between the US and Mexico?
OK, lets avoid all the hypocrisy and self-serving rhetoric and get down to the nitty-gritty of expansionism and land-grabbing in the early 1800's. The Mexicans had long occupied California and most of what was Texas. -The USA under President James Polk had decided it needed a Pacific coast and California was IT. When Mexico wouldn't back down the war ensued.
- Compare this in modern times to the Russians recent grab of Crimea and it's attempts at grabbing Ukraine. -Russia needs a Black Sea port and sees Oddessa as it. -Is this situation really any different?
