No, it is dredging up an old cow in order to push back against the idiocy of Trump.
Sinking to the level of your opponent isn't going to improve matters. I sympathize with the Mexicans in the current situation, there is a lot to be worried about. But any kind of solution or argument should face a practicality test first and this one will simply waste a whole bunch of time.
It would be akin to the Dutch and the Germans going back a few hundred years in order to redraw our borders (or better yet, the Poles, the (Bela)-Russians and the Germans).
