The right of states to secede was eliminated by combat in the Civil War.
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.
As a Texan, I’d vote to “Leave”.
We’ve been all through this in 1861 to 1865
That is a false assumption. A large part of an individual’s state economy is its strong ties to the fed jobs in place in the state as well as the free flow of commerce managed by the Feds and the ensuing overhead that lies with the Feds on managing fade agreements, trade treaties, inflow and outflow of fed taxes etc. 12th is when interconnected to the states and Fed....without this the state is far down the ladder as an individual entity
Cause you are not a nation.
If Texas ever tries secession again I hope the remaining 49 blow it up.
Texas will have no aircraft carriers, no submarines, no Navy, no Air Force, no ICBMs, and no professional standing army.
It will have aced itself out of having any global impact whatsoever.
Not only will it not be able to impact global affairs. It won’t be able to protect itself in the short term.
This talk of Texas leaving the union is so vapid, it lacks any real basis for discussion.
Sure in our mind’s eye we’d like to think of gaining control over our states and become more secure under a Conservative government. Unfortunately, this is a much more complex issue than that.
This fails a children’s level of relative thinking.
If this nation breaks up, the best parts of it leave, guess what happens brain trusts...
We do not continue to be the major force for good globally. You will have tipped the balance of power to the evil among us.
Who would be left in control of our most useful assets, for impacting global dynamics? That’s right, the wicked Left with no input any longer from Texans.
Yes, that’s right, the Left would have an even stronger foot-hold in the U. S., and it could cut Texas off just like it did Cuba. Laugh, but who knows what the remaining Leftists would do.
So Texas, when you talk about leaving the union, please do so sitting down without sharp instruments, preferably in a padded room for your own safety.
Republic of Texas 2.0
I would like to see Texas, Oklahoma and the states of the Old South secede and form a new nation called the Free States of America.
As a Utah Resident, I would love the Mormons to Morexit...then this State could get down to business!!!
My ancestors came to what is now Texas in the late 1700’s to get still further out of reach of the Spanish government-the same reason they left Spain in the 1st place a century earlier-and this proud card-carrying Tejana would vote “leave” in a heartbeat-so would most of us in rural areas-we work for ourselves and each other and know how to make do with little-hell, we’ve been doing that since the economy went over the edge in 2009...
Texas should secede and make Cruz their president. I would move there in a heartbeat
