WASHINGTON — Congressional candidate Jack Davis, in a speech earlier this year, warned that increasing immigration from Mexico could lead to a new civil war between northern states and Mexican-influenced Southern states that may want to secede from the United States.
“In the latter part of this century or the next, Mexicans will be a majority in many of the states and could therefore take control of the state government using the democratic process,” Davis said in the speech. “They could then secede from the United States, and then we might have another civil war.”
A supporter of one of Davis’ rivals for the Democratic nomination in the 26th district, Jon Powers, posted the video to YouTube. The Powers campaign alerted The Buffalo News to the Davis video.
The YouTube video is labeled as a speech Davis gave at the Center for Inquiry in Amherst on Feb. 1, but a center press release indicates that he spoke there on March 19.
No matter when he spoke, Davis could not have made his point of view on Mexican immigrants any clearer.
“They have an allegiance to Mexico, where they were taught the U. S. fought an unjust war with Mexico and took this territory,” Davis said. “They believe the territory of these states belongs to Mexico.”
Davis did not name specific states that might be prone to succession.

Will this be before or after the Second American Civil War that pits conservatives against liberals?
And no, I am not joking.
Before. This will be the event that triggers that war.
It will probably be the same war, as the liberals jump to side with the Mexicans.
Agreed! That’s far more likely (we aren’t going to be rolled over on by Liberal Northern and Western Coastal States)!
Just as long as Indiana goes with its brothers south of the Mason-Dixon line this time.

Silly. Mexicans do not come here because they want to live like they do in Mexico.

It would have to be before, since conservatives would not still have that problem if it was after.
I’m not kidding either.
Domestic Enemies/CWII Ping.
If Red State/Blue State is any indication of the battle lines and who lines up on which side, Libs will find themselves surrounded on three sides in the East, Midwest and Far West. They will find themselves outgunned, outmanned and critical war-making industries will be in short supply.
A peaceful way out of this dilema; however, I fear that sensible men are not making the decisions. I would propose a simple land exchange. If you are a Liberal in a Red State, find a Conservative in a Blue state and simply swap homes. Illegal aliens would have two choices - forced repatriation to the land of their birth, or forced relocation to Liberal states.
Government would naturally be split - Liberal policies in Liberal states only.
As I said, I believe the time for rational discourse has passed and we must “Let slip the dogs of war.”
What makes anyone think that they’ll stop at just some states or a section of the country?
Wouldn’t be the first time this country went to war over a president...
The successful occupation and colonization has already taken place. There was no war. No need. We were all asleep.
Scare tactics, nothing more. To make that sort of claim without any evidence is ridiculous for anyone, except maybe a politician wannabe....
...Never mind.
Of course they don't...why remain second class citizens in Mexico when you can be above the law in the US?
The Mexicans can have Dixie when they pry her from my cold, dead hands.
