Virgil Goode on a Mexican Insurrection!

The Fifth Districts time-traveling Representative, Virgil Goode, has been making headlines with his support of a fence along the US-Mexican border:
A House Republican wants to build a fence along the entire 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border, a plan that could cost billions of dollars and one that critics say would do little to stop illegal immigration.
...
A conservative group called Let Freedom Ring that is promoting a border fence estimates it would cost about $8 billion.
Perhaps Goode's support of this bill is less surprising given his delusional fears of some sort of Mexican Insurrection. The Congressman's webpage quotes him as saying we need English as an official language or else:
"I am fearful that we will have efforts in the country in a few years to split up part of the United States. There are some from Mexico who are already saying that the Mexican War was wrong and that the United States should be split in the Southwest."
The United States "should be split in the Southwest"? Good thing we have Virgil Goode, International Man of Mystery on the case, ready to stop this diabolical plot! Funny thing though, if Mexico was planning a war, you think someone else would have noticed by now...
