I know a number of Mexicans who want to make California, Arizona, New Mexico ( hey, it's even in the name ), Texas, AND Florida a part of Mexico again.
You mean Kalifonia's NOT part of Mexico?

No doubt, but they dont want to PAY for running/managing it. They want that becasue they have the best of both worlds right now. They can live with a like speaking and like culture population, but the US and State govt is making it "comfy" to do so. Thats pure non-cultural assimilation at its finest. And its possible because my tax $$ fund it and make it easy for them.
Cut the $ off and give it a year or two, deport all of the illegals from and move the wall to say Austin, and they'll be all trying to move to Austin.
Its hypocrisy and bullshit. We MUST deport in mass, put our foot down on demanding cultural assimilation and quit subsidizing it.
If we don;t, this guy is effectively correct.
This is true in most areas of the world. Do you really think all of the Muslims would be pouring into the UK if there wasnt a better standard of living and they all got heaps of free shit, with no requirement to adopt the British core values and assimilate?
NOPE.
This isn't hard. Fancy words and charts don't change basic human behavior.
Provide a better standard of living
Offer free shit for people to emigrate there
Provide basic necessities without work requirements
Make assimilation non-required (bring your goat its all good)
Guess what happens

Allow me to try a more apropos analogy here. California decides to break away from the US and becomes it's own country. That having happened, the people of EASTERN California say, "what the hell! We aren't anything like western California. We want to be part of the US again!". So, the US begins the process of taking back eastern California and hostilities break out. Seeing this, Russia says this can't be allowed to happen and supplies arms and logistics to western California.
Now, you tell me. Who is in the right and who is in the wrong here? To me, it's all POV and Russia should keep it's nose in it's own business.
Are we understanding each other?

Good job on this. It's an example that narratives can be constructed to justify a desired point of view, I'm reminded of an instance many years ago when I was a T-ball coach. When I wasn't looking, one of my players hit another on the head with a bat. Sounds like a cut-and-dry good guy, bad guy scenario. Digging deeper revealed that the apparent victim had done something nasty to the apparent aggressor, and it went back a bunch of cycles of continuous escalation from both sides. There is of course no justification for hitting somebody with the bat, short of self defense, but it was definitely not the clear-cut, one-sided affair that it looked like. And each side could easily build an argument that it was the other's fault.
Hate to break the new to ya, but Texas is not going anywhere. California on the other hand is another story. Just make sure you are on the correct side when they put up the boarder.

A whole lot of problems would be solved if California just dropped into the Pacific Ocean suddenly and with just a few seconds warning. Yeah, we'd lose some posters here on IP Cam Talk, but just think how all that new underwater structure would benefit fishermen.
