We would still have to invade Louisiana, subjugate its people, and force them to learn English. They're not going to get past their historical Frenchness without help.

we don't want to.

I think Texas is the most universally hated state. Giant amounts of pollution, no one visits voluntarily, over run with Mexican illegals, and a batshit crazy Christian governor that thinks global warming was invented by Democrats and praying harder will eventually fix the environment.

Austin and the US depending on your oil industry is your only saving grace.
