So the US sells some bonds, then slips a couple trillion into a brown envelope to buy Baja California from Mexico, then “lease-to-own” it on very favorable terms (0 down, 0% APR, 150 years) to New Taiwan, or Formosa II. Uproot TSMC and an entire culture and move them over, then let China wave the flag over the mound of dirt left behind. Pencil them in to NAFTA and watch the chips flow over to the new iPhone plant outside Mexicali. Tijuana to Ensenada remains Mexico and is a buffer between them and the USA, and the night markets there are the envy of all food-eating people on the planet—-I can’t wait to try the albondigas soup dumplings.

I was under the impression that the US already had plenty of empty wasteland for this type of fantasy project.
