... if the conservatives have their way, it'll be Mexico.
Interesting how the writer suggests annexing a federal union of thirty-one states plus a federal district, with a total population of over 110 million people, as a single state. Granted, that would mean only two Senators for all those nasty Mexicans so the pure white people wouldn't be drowned out (can you hear the bilious sarcasm? I hope you can)... but that would increase the American population by 1/3. One quarter of all House seats would be Mexico. One state with as many as 120 electoral votes. Can you say... dumbass?
Oh, wait: that presumes conservatives would ever allow Mexicans to vote. My bad.
And just so you don't think it's just one flake: Rick Perry wants to invade Mexico and abolish Social Security, not necessarily in that order.
Now what I wonder is: if Republicans pick up this drum and keep beating it, how long until Obama caves in and sends in the troops?
