If the southwest ever becomes like Yugoslavia, and happens within my lifetime, I'll march down there and shoot separatists if I have to (oh, and while I don't condone this...you'll have Freeper-types forming militias and putting hispanic-Americans in concentration camps similar to how Bosnian Muslims were rounded up by Bosnian-Serb militia.) Lincoln helped settle the issue 142 years ago, and no radical Chicano/Aztlan nationalist is going to claim otherwise.

The reason why we should be worried is that, unlike previously immigration waves, this immigration wave is primarily concentrated in one geographically-contigious area; an area that has historical contestation. The same thing is happening in the parts of Russia that are near the Chinese border. In 50-100 years, China will either invade, or you'll have the descendants of Chinese migrant workers trying to claim Vladivostok for China. Oh, and let's not forget about the majority-Somali Ogaden region of Ethiopa:

There was a separatist attack in Ethiopia just last week over this.
