      If Texass suddenly became its own country, I wouldn’t expect them to be so generous to those people as to keep sending them to better places.

      They’d probably decide those people should be concentrated somewhere away from decent Texans.

        Those Texans forget that current prosperity relies on being part of the Union. As soon as they leave they will be worse than just having tariffs; they’d be embargoded so hard Cuba looks like a trade empire.

          I had a buddy in the army who desperately wanted to believe Texas was a fully functional country that needed no America.
