I think there is power in numbers but there are also those who now have power who will have to give up some of their power. I wouldn't want to be allied with some of them - economically or any otherwise. I can see how N. America could unite into a single country with Canada, with the exception of Quebec. In spite of recent differences we also have many similarities. At one time I would not have thought we could ever assimilate our culture with that of Mexico but it happened in a very short time. Illegal immigration has brought about an alliance of people if not that of governments. I would assume that when there are more Mexicans in the US than remain in Mexico the alliance will have been completed - a census of both countries might show that has already occurred. When the time comes to settle on a single government, a single currency, those types of things it might get a little sticky.
