As with a third party, the threat is useful tactic. I hope the left call the bluff.
Let’s Do This!!
Remember The Alamo! Remember Goliad!!
I loved the two years I lived in Texas. I could move back.
California was looking at doing this in 2017.
Louisiana has proven that they'll support any democrat, no matter how bad, so long as he has the surname of Edwards.
Florida too! Form a gulf state energy, agriculture and tourism union.
And after you do... Please annex the southern half and the eastern 1/4 of New Mexico (except for Dona Ana County.... they can go back to being part of Old Mexico for all I care.)
“I’ll be gone to Texas..”
What makes you think the Republic of Texas would have lax immigration policies.
Instead, you should understand that the Republic of Texas would have very strict immigration policies on our southern border as well as western, northern and eastern borders.
It’s going to be a very good wall around the entire state.
The biggest problem with Texas secession will be funding the northern border wall.
I’d like Az to join the secession. We could have a ‘new nation chili cook off!’
No, just re-locate them to facilities in Presidio and Brewster counties.
The Confederates formed their country really fast considering the technology they had back then. I doubt if Texas was to succeed that they could even come close to the speed in which the Confederates States succeeded. Our government can’t even get simple bills through Congress in a timely matter.
If they succeed I will move there. I have been wanting to move there anyway since two of my kids live there.
Make Trump the President of Texas, LOL, that would piss off liberals.
And then declare war on the United States!
Count me in!!! Remember the Alamo! I died there in 2016. I have died at Goliad. I have lived through several battles at San Jacinto. All fun re-enactments, of course.
When the commies finally figure out how much money (and power) they are going to lose as a result and pitch a fit, he can just refer them to the criminals on the SC. They can fight it out!
I wonder if secession is the right move here. Many would argue that it is not permitted under the treaty that made Texas a state. However, there is a little known article of that treaty that permits Texas at any time to voluntarily break up into as many as five states. If the borders are drawn correctly we should be able to ensure that at least four of them are solid red. That would give us a net gain of two states’ worth of senators and most of the electoral votes.
I was born in Houston - as a native-born Texan, do you think I’ll have citizenship in the new Republic? :-)
