I'm trying to decide if it dodges the question or not.

But for sake of argument, let's say that there is nobody of any importance and that you have no threat along with no umbrella to the south. All the other world geopolitical situations remain the same.

Or if you like, the US broke up with the civil war and Mexico retained much of the western US.

OR, all of what is the US is now possessed by Mexico and they haven't done any better job with it than they have with what they currently possess.
