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.
Jesus goddamned christ imagine how much it’d make age of imperialism americans’ heads spin to see Texas get filibustered by Latin American mercenaries.
