There'll be a lot of dead Mexicans if the Southwest tries to secede. This country has shown that it knows how to deal with rebels and traitors.
the last go-round UNARMED civilians (like MY family for example) and HELPLESS CSA POWs were "the most favored target" of the bluebellies, especially those persons of "minority" racial/religious groups, as it was certainly easier & MUCH SAFER than fighting the valiant, ARMED, "lads in gray".
