Yeah, and why don't we annex the whole world while we're at it? Roll Eyes

Manifest Destiny to the extreme. Let Earth be our footstool, the arms of the Milky Way America's arms, our heart the beating heart of the spiral.

Let the Universe be America's playground. Cheesy

Since Mexico is organized as a federation I'm pretty sure that it would be unconstitutional for the Mexican federal government to sell states.

But would it be unconstitutional for the individual states to have an independence or annexation vote, and then for Mexico to be financially compensated by the US afterwards?
