Am I the only one who can't pronounce the title of this thread ?

I hope not.

The next US Civil War may start here.

One of them. Can't say either one.

We all know what you mean, and it sounds serious. I expect Biden will make some show of force, but seek to avoid any actual shooting or anything. Handle like Obama handled that Nevada range rebellion. Expect some legal moves regarding Texas National Guard. Stop federal $ for them, maybe adverse personnel actions or even legal action against members.

Try saying it slowly but in parts.


The ability to roll off words rapidly is an innate skill. One of the reasons rappers are so rewarded. Eminem, the rapper, comes to mind.

That included.

However the basic issue is the question of borders.

Should borders be eliminated?

Way over reductionist. Might as well ask "Should unauthorized migrants be shot on sight?"

It is a perennial question. The move into Canaan. The expansionist raiders such as the Vikings, Romans, Russians, Turks, Western Europeans etc, put their stamp on such ideas.

Now there is a creeping modern thought that the world is one huge nation and therefore its inhabitants should have the right to go wherever...no borders.

If the Mexican auto workers, lets call them UMAW come across the border and they seek jobs in our automobile industry, we will have a battle between the UAW and UMAW, sort of like the NFL and USFL. Or Ford stays with UAW while GM contracts with UMAW, we already have the scabs since a lot of the Asian car assembly plants are non union, possibilities are endless. Pretty soon all of our automobiles will be made in China like the electronics industry.
