Maybe they should leave the Union, especially if they want to become North Mexico. I hear the drug trade is very profitable....and Texas has so many wide and open areas. Most of it very beautiful...well beautiful at least now...maybe not so much once the cartels take control. I have a sister-in-law and two nephews living near Austin, she tells me the drug trade is causing more and more problems as drug traffikers bring their families to live away from the Mexico madness...they think it will be safer in the US. Of course if it decides it doesn't want to be part of the United States, well, it won't take long before the rest of the drug runners are there followed almost immediately with the murders and kidnappings. Not that Texas doesn't have that already, it's just going to get bigger.
After Glenn Becks empty threats that the states might-just-maybe-but-not-really secede form the USA, I wonder if he'd say that this is a perfectly valid idea with good principles.
Don't forget well thought out.

Texas, please secede, and take all those right-wing haters with you. (But you can't have Austin, or San Antonio or all of the good progressive hearts that live in the rest of that state.)
Maybe we should trade: you get all the Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh fans, Jay Leno, all the Teabaggers, Sarah Palin, Republicans, Conservatives, pseudo-Christians and we get the Socialists, Liberals, Progressives, Democrats, Gays, minorities, college graduates, Obama supporters, The Dixie Chicks and, of course, Willie Nelson.
Also, we'll stop broadcasting NPR into your sand-blown desert, but only if we could be rid of Fox "News" and all the mentally incompetent that listen to that nonsense.
Deal?
Just think, you can have all of the health insurance companies, and we'll have government-run health care for all (the way Jesus would have wanted it).
Oh, by the way, you will also have to take George W., Dick Cheney, and Karl Rove, because if they stayed with us, they'd be going on trial for all the crimes they committed over the past eight years.
The more I think about it, the more I agree with the guy in the video (except for the part about hating America: even when Bush was president, I never hated our country).
All of a sudden, the wisdom of a fence along our southern border now makes a lot of sense.
Go, Texas! Secede - please!!!!

We aren't seceding. Don't get your panties in a knot.
This talk of secession is the work of a select few nut jobs. Most people recognize that and pay them no heed. I have been to Massachusetts and have lived in Providence, RI. I met some nut jobs out that way, too.
