  1. ?


  2. California and  Texas will become independent nations and break away from the US as the country falls apart

  3. The entire southwestern United States will continue to be very bi cultural and have quite a bit of influence from Mexico partly because of its past history but mostly because of the continuing inflow of Mexican immigration. However, both the Californian and Texan political, economic, and legal institutions are still so well integrated with those of the United States and their economies benefit so much from this integration that any secession would be economically disastrous when you consider the ramifications. Furthermore, when you really stop to think about it the southwest still does exhibit a significant degree of cultural integration with the U.S. Notwithstanding the very frequent use of Spanish, American English is STILL the more dominant language of education, government, and business in these states. Think about it: While certain elementary or high schools may make some accommodation for other languages, can you even graduate from the University of California or Texas without knowing English?  While you can surely work for a factory, vineyard, or landscaping company without knowing English, could you ever become a professional businessman, doctor, lawyer, or engineer without knowing English? Spanish may be emerging as the language of an immigrant working-class subculture in the United States, but the language of power in this country is still English. Even when you look at census bureau projections of how large the Hispanic population will become in the United States, it is projected that much of that population will have been born here in the United States and thus will probably have been at least somewhat integrated. So, will the southwestern region continue to be an area of transnational overlap between the United States and Mexico? Undoubtedly. Will any meaningful secessionist movement actually emerge? Albeit perhaps to the dismay of MEChA and other "'reconquista" ideologues, I would not count on it any time soon.

  4. no

  5. i doubt that the US would allow it

    i mean we fought for them a long time ago

    and i doubt we will let them go that easily

  6. No. U.S is becoming more and more powerful so if anything WE would get Mexico. Mexico is not that powerfull. Unless the offor uss A TON of money.
