    While an independent Texas might provide a good buffer for illegal immigration from Mexico, think how much U.S. domestic oil and natural gas supplies would be reduced if Texas were no longer a state.

        I doubt seriously if we'd see a second civil war to prevent it..

            Texas is a fine place; if some people there
            are kinda loud and silly it is what
            you expect when a party gets going.

            Remember the, uhm, the fort in San Antonio.

            Texans are Americans first and foremost and in reality I'm not certain Texas could secede, even if we wanted to.

            The secession claim is just a way to show our discontent of how the US has been run for a very long time. In the end the idea of it does sound good to many on both sides, but it's not going to happen.

            Texas will not leave. I want to now offer you congratulations or condolences for that whichever the case may be.
