Aftermath and repercussions of Obama victory

It wasn't too long ago that Texas had a Democrat Governor, and I wouldn't doubt that it could be turned into a Blue State with certain policies. You get more Mexicans in, you get them hooked on the government and boom they're Democrats just like that. I do think Marco Rubio will run for President in 2016 and he'll have a very good shot judging by his speech at the RNC which was very powerful and well delivered. Plus after 8 years of Obama just like after 8 years of Clinton and W the American people will grow tired of unfulfilled promises, scandal (and that will be coming, it always does), and just an over all weariness of dealing with 1 party in charge.

As for the sucession talk, I think states should have the right to leave without any military being involved because the United States is a voluntary Union and not a perpetual Union (at least it was until the War between the States). The first states that wanted to suceed were actually those in the northeast that feared the Louisiana Purchase would sap their political power, but with time those fears were put to rest. All this being said, I highly doubt the majority of any state would choose to leave this Union. A couple thousand names on a petition doesn't mean much to me.

Is that why you think Mexicans risk arrest, deportation, or worse by trying to cross the border (albeit illegally) into the U.S.? To get "hooked on the government"? Is that what you think Mexicans who enter the U.S. legally are after? To get "hooked on the government"?

Wow...
