They're already trying to annex counties from New Mexico
"They" are not.
It's just one dude and that's not going anywhere. It would require agreement of not only New Mexico (which is a non starter) and the federal government, which is equally not going to happen.
The most powerful elected official in the state, who won his election by a very clear majority, is representative of the state. I agree it's not going to happen, but it's not like it wouldn't if they had the power to.
Yeah cross-state county annexation fantasies happen anywhere that a blue state borders a red state. They'd never happen, not only would the donor state have to willingly give up perfectly good land and taxpayers and the recipient state accept, the federal government would have to approve the change.
Half my family lives in NM, and I just returned yesterday from a month there.
No one in New Mexico wants this or even takes it seriously. All the news reports are laughing at it.
