Third time is a charm. We left Mexico over the Dictator, Santa Anna, usurping the Federalist Mexican Constitution of 1824. We left the totalitarian Yankees and no one here supports slavery including my black Southern cousins. So why not become the 12th largest GDP in the world? We do not need what anyone else has.

The right of states to secede was eliminated by combat in the Civil War.

Saying it don’t make it so. Is that a Obama law?

Texas will then have to quickly raise their own army to protect them from a full blown Mexican invasion. I know, I know, US Army isn’t protecting them now from the non-violent invasion.

Sorry, but it’s already too late for Texas.
Something had to be done 20 years ago, we are now in the 2nd and 3rd generation of the invasion, and no one is going to deport 10’s of millions of people there were born here in the US.

Shouldn’t be a problem. Everyone including the cockroaches are armed in Texas.

No it is the law of war consistently applied over 10,000 years of human civilization. The winning force imposes its will on the losers.
I’m a 7th generation Texan. I feel your pain. The fact is that my ancestors fought a war, lost, and an invading army then descended upon the South and imposed the will of the Norhern states.

They need to sue under the 14th, 13th, and probably the 10th amendments. They are being held in servitude. Individuals who did not vote for the constitution are being held hostage by what their forefathers did. Lastly, since we have open borders under president horesass, why have state’s held hostage to a border?

I am a 7th generation too, but am not fixed on a closed mindset. If a Convention of the States does not come about, we should leave.

The Constitution now says whatever the hell any five Supreme Court Justices want it to say.

Texas is different than the other states. It was an independent republic before joining....

Remember —— We entered by Treaty and kept our own lands. Our flag is to fly at the same height as the US flag. We can break up into other states. We are different!

The Republic of Texas specifically negotiated the right to split into as many as five separate states in the treaty joining the U.S. Too bad they didn’t think to negotiate a right to secede.
It probably never came up since before the Civil War it was always a presumed right of the States. Something about the consent of the governed in all of the original documents.
