      not saying they would be able to hold off a full blown invasion from Mexico

      The danger isn’t the Mexican government invading…

      It’s South American cartels realizing a foothold in New Texas would be valuable. And they’re not known for taking only what they need.

      An “armed populace” isn’t going to fight off the fucking cartels, and the cartels are going to turn Texas into a fucking war zone as they fight over it.
