Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the news that New Mexico legislators are yet again attempting to get a process begun whereby eastern New Mexico counties may switch back to join Texas as they had been formerly before 1850. With the popular support for this idea clearly established by the constant lobbying for it within the New Mexico legislature, what other steps must be taken to ensure that this border move becomes a reality? What deeper factors might come into play which makes this switch more likely as the old world order falls apart?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the proposal coming from an Iowa state legislator that Iowa establish a Iowa-Illinois Border Adjustment Committee to see about taking in Illinois counties which wish to separate from political association with Chicago. How similar is this to the effort now going on in Indiana? What hurdles would an Iowa assistance effort face and what preparations should be taken? Why is this an important development in the changing world even if the original proposal is not passed by the Iowa legislature?
