It's a bit dated, but still relavant. Maybe now people will finally see the dangers of illegal immigration.

[mallardx]

OK, saddle up, let's invade! Pass the ammunition!

[Tall_Texan]

Horrors! Where will chicken Texas Democrats run to now when they can't have their way??

[TXBSAFH]

They need to ban him from the faculty liquor cabinet. He been hittint the good stuff to much.

[woofie]

We New Mexican seceded years ago

[arkfreepdom]

Uh, don't think so. Head to Dallas or Houston some day. Sexual attraction will take care of this problem. Still need to control our borders though.

[marron]

Does it occur to him that if it was an independent country, its inhabitants would risk life and limb to get out of it?

[JimRed]

Substantial portions of those states are like a third world hellhole now; he wants them to finish the job!

[The South Texan]

"Horrors! Where will chicken Texas Democrats run to now when they can't have their way??"

They will still go there. Actually I'm surprised they didn't go to Mexico last time.

"Maybe now people will finally see the dangers of illegal immigration."

It is probably already too late and Zoretich is probably correct.

[stop_fascism]

Not really.

People are not risking their lives trying to escape Mexico only to create a Northern Mexico. By and large, they want the freedom and economic opportunity for themselves and their children that are available here. Not there.

The people who talk about Aztlan are academic pukes who were born here, and don't even speak Spanish for the most part. They are not much different then the academic pukes who want to create a Peoples Republic or Scandinavian Socialism. Don't take them seriously. It would be nice, however, to get rid of their teaching sinecures and make them work for a living.

[robertpaulsen]

On the plus side, we get rid of California.

[Theodore R.]

Did not the U.S. Supreme Court rule after the Civil War that secession was never constitutional? Perhaps an exception will be made when "minorities" protected by "civil rights" law demand secession.

This is pretty silly. The only people who may find this appealing, in the real world, are a bunch of intellectuals. I don't see any appeal for other members of the hispanic community. Why would a hispanic businessman, professional or politican see anything appealing in a new nation that would be poorer and have access to a smaller economic market than the US?

The beauty of the American system is it's ability to give new groups seats at the table of power. As hispanics become part of the American mainstream, pointy-headed intellectuals like this will become nothing more than amusing kooks.

Bingo!

[tm22721]

This is great but how do we get rid of the rest of the blue zone as well ?

BUMP

If New Mexico seceded, would anybody notice?
