The numbers would suggest that they're already half way to being the majority in some states.If they voted to secede is there anything that can legally be done to stop it?

Good question. You should ask it in one of the "Lincoln is Satan and the War of Northern Aggression was all about tariffs and had nothing to do with slavery" threads, to see what the supporters of that secession attempt have to say.

I think that the last time several states voted to secede, the union armies had a little bit of input.

Did you miss History of the United States Civil War in grade school and college?

Other posters mentioned the dim view the Federal government takes towards its vassal states leaving to form their own country. Another reason "Aztlan" or the "reconquest" of the southwestern U.S. won't happen is because the Feds would never surrender to another power all the hundreds of billions of dollars in yearly tax loot that it extracts from the approximately 70 million Americans who live there, not to mention the trillions of dollars worth of infrastructure, industry and so forth.

If it's any consolation, Americans in the southwest (along with the rest of us) can be safely assured that they will remain serfs of the American Federal government.
