If the Confederacy gains it's independence, it would slowly descend into becoming a third world country. A lot of people would possibly come to Mexico for work, assuming that Mexico is better off and relations between the U.S. and C.S. are too shaky for mass migration.
I like this idea. Maybe we could make a couple of changes in Mexico too so, things are better than in OTL. Maximilian manages to stay in power and starts a process of modernization, while the CSA goes the other way.
I don't see any of the Mexican emperors, least of all Maximilian, initiating reforms. I mean they were emperors after all! Sure Max started some liberal reforms (that were already proposed by his republican predecessor and new enemy Juarez), but he was also too harsh. That, and he was a tinpot monarch installed by a foreign government that replaced the native democratic government, creating tons of instability. Him doing a lot to help Mexico was just a pipe dream. Better to just let Benito Juarez stay president, no French intervention or French monarch.
Wait, what!? Having Max on the Mexican throne = wanking Mexico? Since when? That whole French intervention kinda put them back. Really far. By throwing them into bloody civil war. Again. Over an ineffective Austrian monarch. Really.I guess Mexico just can't become a first world country without wanking it.
But what makes better sense to me is if the Confederacy wins becomes a country and as a primarily agrarian economy would make it poor in the 20th century. Then again it would be just as poor as Mexico.

You're probably right about Max being better (as in more reformist) than Iturbide, but what he lacked was any ability to do so. As in, as you said, it was too late, and also he was weak, his country was in a civil war, and his reforms were already planned by the guy he deposed. It just irks me how people think placing this bum on an invented throne will solve Mexico's problems.
The most likely scenarios are those involving either the Yellowstone Supervolcano or New Ice Age/Climate Change (The Day After Tomorrow scenario).
In these, the United States is so devastated that the population has to move south or die and the US government is overwhelmed. It could occur before or after 1900 or in the future, or (if moderators are snuffy) in ASB. The Supervolcano is the one that really puts the wind up me![]()
Did Chicano squatters take over California and Texas, or did they instead become an underclass ?

They did/do both
I'm fairly sure that his point was that, seeing as Mexican immigrants are not taking over the SouthWest despite becoming majorities, it would be strange to assume that white American immigrants would take over Mexico if they migrated there.Careful, what you say would be pretty close to race baiting, unless you say it out of not knowing any better.
Chicanos, by definition, can't be squatters. The term means American born.
