No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress.

Huh?

Re: Unconstitutional per Article I Section 10 paragraph 3 of the U.S. Constitution

I see you are referring to "...enter into any agreement or compact with another state..." and that may fill the bill unless a Democratic Controlled Congress approves it under the above "No state shall, without the consent of Congress..." exception.

That said, I would like to see Texas declare war on the rising tide of illegal immigrants under the "...or engage in war, unless actually invaded..." clause!
