US would become bluer if we do that, and Texas used to be Mexican.

Of course the name Texico already gives away that this was a joke thread kind off. Also even if taken seriously, it would strategically be an error as the state might become more competitive in the future and possibly flip. Although i don't think it would reliably be blue anytime soon and even if that turns out to be the case, it is hard to predict how a state will vote in a few decades or longer.

Remember that when Germany offered to help Mexico retake Texas and several other bordering states in 1917, Mexico declined the offer not only because it couldn’t win militarily, but also because it determined that managing a large English-speaking population within its borders would have been very difficult for them.
Was Texas before it became independent largely english or apanish speaking?
