Hold a vote of latino-majority areas of Southern California and it’s very likely that they would support joining Mexico, as they would be supported by a large number of white liberal voters who believe that America illegally annexed areas of Mexico more than 100 years ago. Add to that a rigged ballot and military intimidation of loyal American voters and Azatland becomes a reality.
As for MAD, do you really think that a Democrat controlled America is going to lift a finger if Russia chooses to annex parts of Eastern Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic States - all in the name of protection “Russian speaking peoples”? Putin doesn’t intend to occupy Western Europe, he simply wants it to be militarily neutered. America sticking its head in the sand will come back to haunt it.
You're wrong. The vast majority of legal and illegal Mexican immigrants do NOT want more in, other than close family members. Why? Because it takes the jobs they originally came here for. I've been following immigration and contributing to FAIR since back in the early 90's. I was even a Minuteman for a short time out in Arizona.
The answer: More and heavy penalties for those companies who hire illegals. Stop it at the source. BTW, I watch Los Angeles (majority hispanic) local news and pleasantly surprised that more and more second generation legal/illegals are becoming more Americanized. Never thought I'd see the day. Always thought Atzlan was coming.

Maybe, but I don't think you get my drift. I'm saying stay out of it UNTIL it becomes a true national security threat. Putin may want more, but until he moves on Poland or the Baltics, I say let him have Crimea (which they obviously want). If he moves on eastern Ukraine, a different story, but still say let the EU and NATO deal with it. I'm tired of war. This coming from a big supporter of the Iraqi invasion - even made a slideshow about all the rallies supporting it. See, "With Love and Affection" on the front page of this site.
No, I'm not a Ron Paul who believes we should pull up the drawbridge and let the world self destruct. However, I'm reluctant to sacrifice more of our kids to police a situation that will probably settle out.
