Sounds interesting. Lets try it on a small scale, say with Texas?

In light of the on again off again delegation to Egypt I decided to revive this post.

Democracy, it's a beautiful thing.

Why is there not a dislike button on posts so we can vote them up or down?

I don't know. By responding, you give it a bump up, so i guess that's a "like"

And you use Cuba? There is a reason so many Cubans fled to Miami.

The early exiles were participants in the grand theft, torture, murder of the Cuban people for the most part (Batistianos) who were richly rewarded with benefits once they arrived in the US. Later came many immigrants who also once here were automatically legalized and given benefits. If this pertained to Mexicans and Dominicans those two countries would be empty.
