Because they belong to the Federal Government. I don’t even know how it could happen. Social Security payments would stop. Income taxes would stop too but certainly state taxes would skyrocket. All those illegals you guys have would be a burden that you let the federal government help pay for. And the Governor is not even supporting the idea because he sees it could not possibly work.

Well I think if we went to the extreme of secession, we wouldn't worry about the Fed's claim to a few acres of land.
If Obama decided to send the military in to "liberate" Texas military bases, I guess that'd get the ball rolling - and it would be an expensive decision in both men and equipment.

I don't know how it would work, either. Guess we wouldn't know until we tried. If we did, though, I'd be right there on the line with a bunch of other Texans, many of them Hispanic.
