"You don't seem to understand the dynamics of nationalism. Mexico is their home, we are only a cow to slaughter and feed them and their families. The Huns who raided and pillaged the Roman Empire were only looking to feed their families as well, but they brought a civilization to its knees in the process.

There is no difference between the Hun and the Mexican. They are both invaders looking to steal from a wealthy and "over civilized" victim. This is more akin to a mugging than anything else. Shades of Albania and Kosovo on a grand scale. "

There is no comparison between Huns and Mexicans. And in the comparison between Romans, probably Mexicans are closer to Romans than Americans are to Romans. And in comparison to the Hun, Americans are probably closer to the Huns than Mexicians are.
And of course, Americans are not cows. If any people on this planet are not like cows- it's Americans.
And Americans are so god damn nationalist that countries that want to join the US have a long and difficult road ahead of them, e.g. Puerto Rico {and I hear that Kurds want to be the 51st State of America [[fat chance, but it's the thought that counts:]]}.
Why would Californians leave the greatest Nation ever to exist on this Planet, to join with Mexico- have you ever been to Mexico?
