Wishful thinking at best. The last time a few states decided to leave the Union, it didn't go over so well.
While that is true I could do with out a couple of those states but that is just my opinion. Since we (USA) won the war with Mexico way back in the day we reserve the right to maintain those regions we conquered then and in my book would like to gladly hand over California (and overly inflated land values), Arizona (same as California). The Mexicans then can leave New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Coloardo and part of Wyoming and Oklahoma. After that we will erect an anti-personnell mine field and defensive zone between those areas and the newly aquired Mexican territory. Any
legal immigrants and natural born United States citizens (not their parents who came across illegally) have 60 days to relocate within the remaining United States territory and the Mexican government must pay reparations to those families who lost relatives in the war with Mexico plus interest and pay 2x the current land value of the homes and land vacated in California and Arizona to those who wish to leave and return to their nation. If those demands are not met within those 60 days the nation of Mexico is subject to military action by the United States of America and we will turn their nation into just another territory that is controlled much like Puerto Rico.
