Detonate some nukes in the upper Atmosphere of Continental Europe, firebomb the fuck out of any favela/narco farms to get rid of old surplus while pleasing the milindustrialists, then invade Mehico genociding any remaining inferior men and turn it into a nip style colony with state mandated birth control for the locals.

Look up Amtrak and the federal reserve for why you're wrong.
