Texas wants New Mexico, New Mexico wants El Paso … now Colorado wants New Mexico? Had to have been an April Fools Day thing. Right? As crazy as politics are these days, I’m not so sure …

READ MORE: Texas Wants Part Of New Mexico

Texas recently said it wants to annex 2 counties in New Mexico. (Seriously, they have started looking into it.) New Mexico, meanwhile, has always, not so secretly, wished they could take El Paso back. Now, Colorado wants what Texas passed on.

Granted, Colorado made the announcement on April 1st, (typically a day loaded with shenanigans but that’s every day at a state capital), but what if they really mean it? According to a recent Facebook post, they’re serious.

The Santa Fe area will be a great addition to Colorado. It is no secret that Colorado and New Mexico are two of the best places to live, work, and play, and we would be thrilled to welcome our friends in Northern New Mexico to our great state and to protect them from aggression from Texas.

Seriously, look …

If It’s On Facebook, It Must Be True – Right?

Ok, ok … this is ridiculous, (Texas and New Mexico really mean it though), but let’s play “what if” for a second. If New Mexico snags El Paso, the benefits are huge. If Texas gets the New Mexico counties they want, the benefits are also big.

What If Colorado Annexed New Mexico Counties?

Colorado would basically get a couple of more casinos, a bunch more, (some would say), bad drivers and a taste of the chili money. That’s about it. They already have legal weed so, no points there. Oh, yeah … Spaceport USA. They’d get that.

What Does Dubba G Want?

If Texas, New Mexico and Colorado set any kind of precedent here; I’m annexing my neighbors yards. One of ’em has a sweet Harley and the other one has fruit trees and a garden that just won’t quit.

My salsa and my daiquiri’s are going to be the shizzle this summer.
