Wouldn't Texas and New Mexico be united?

[rupol2000]

How similar are these states in terms of culture and population? As far as I understand, these are both Mexican states in the past? If they united would it give any advantages?

Nothing even resembling a tree in New Mexico.

They are no longer possessions of Mexico and haven't been for over 150 years. They are also different as night and day politically. Texas is mostly conservative while NM has been historically liberal and democrat. The one thing you have right is that they both have large Hispanic populations.

But are these former Mexican states? There should be similar cultures and ethnic groups, isn't that logical?

Heck, California and Colorado were part of Mexico at one time also.

Not so much in my experience.

Nothing is logical where humans are concerned...... Take yourself for example.

Liberal in the sense of the leftism? Why are they leftists?

Are you a Jill Biden sock puppet? Are you trying to label all Hispanic people as diverse as breakfast tacos? That is like saying that Pakistanis and Indians are the same? Get it?

Why is anyone a leftist? Mental deficiency, I suppose.

Texas was a Republic that got its independence from Mexico before joining the US.

One of the reasons why it became independent was because of the huge number of Americans that moved across the border into Texas.

I'm just interested in America lately. For me it was a revelation, I am stunned how different America is from what they think of it in Europe. The people of the United States are damn different for the better, they are very simple-hearted, real freedom has remained in America to this day.

Don't know about New Mexico and Texas identity.

Pakistan is not like India because they are different nations. Mainly Pashtuns live in Pakistan. India itself is also very different, at least the North and South are very different there.

Arizona and Nevada too.

Half of CO, all of WY, UT, most of CA and most of NM and AZ were acquired by the US when Mexico ceded them after the Mexican American war. The southern portions of NM and AZ were acquired in the Gadsden Purchase. The area of the US west of the Mississippi R. was acquired in the Louisiana Purchase. No. CA, ID, OR and WA were granted to the US by Russia, indeed, much of BC, Canada should be US territory north to the 54-40 latitude, but the US was magnanimous with Canada and agreed on the 49th parallel as the border with Canada.

Me too. I grew up in Las Cruces and Deming in the 60s.

This just says that cowboy America is Mexican and not European. The main part of America is the descendants of Hispanics, as I expected. And it fits genetics.
