The nationalism that is being promoted by the national media by the likes of Lou Dobbs really misses the point with Mexico. Mexicans do not want to be led around by the nose by Mexico City and certainly do not want expansion of Mexico into the Southwest US. To the contrary,if the true Texas economy were unleashed by being freed by secession then the Republic would soon become a world economic hub that is so powerful that Nuevo Leon, Coahuila and Chihuahua would be clamoring to join Texas. This is particularly true if the Brownsville,Matamoras, Harlingen, South Padre area gets back on track on what seemed to be creating the 21st century Hong Kong before 9/11.
Mexico would be trying to keep citizens from migrating to Texas because they would have such fear of Texas political/social influence that could lead to a brain drain (if they are lucky) or a libertarian revolution in Mexico (if they are not lucky).
What kind of Mexicans would come to the Republic of Texas if it were a true libertarian nation? The welfare slackers would have no interest because there would be no freebies. The drug cartels thrive only because drugs are illegal. A libertarian Republic of Texas would be of no interest to drug cartels because there would be no black market. The only Mexicans with any interest in the Republic would be entreprenuers or people who want to work for entreprenuers.
