Texas lawmakers are exploring whether to annex one or more New Mexico counties, particularly Lea County, a vast chunk of southeastern New Mexico bordering West Texas. The proposal, driven by conservative residents feeling alienated from progressive Santa Fe politics, would bring 75,000 people, federal funding, and more oil reserves into Texas. While New Mexico's governor dismisses it as "not a serious" idea, the move reflects ongoing debates about state identity, Republican political advantages, and regional economic interests. It continues a lawless push by conservatives in blue states like California and Oregon to change the land border instead of simply moving out of state. Could this lead to a civil war?
