      Would rather have Puerto Rico anyway. Texas will return to being Mexico pretty swiftly and that’s probably better for everyone.

        Mexico won’t want them. My bets are they break into even more countries, some of which get incorporated into the US and Mexico. Then the remains become a lawless region because they don’t have the money to fight the cartels. So we get a military occupation on our southern border. Nobody comes away happy but the MIC.

        Which given the arc of history in the post WW2 period is, I believe, the best indicator of how things will go.
