I don't think Perry would win that one either.

The TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD is NOT on the list of groups that would not be available to defend Texas.Quote:

Texas would loose all U.S. Border Patrol Agents and U.S. I.C.E. Agents.
They would have to be replaced by state employees of some type.
It would No Longer be the State of Texas
but the Country of Texas

Sounds like a nice place to live and defend
I think there would be a massive boom of New Residents from disenfranchised citizens from the other 49 broke states begging for citizenship
I dont think there would be a problem at all in defending the southern border in Texas... all of the Illegal Alien and drug traffic would flow to the other border states in massive numbers

With Texans physically protecting it's own border as it's own SOVEREIGN NATION, and unimpeded by the Federal Government, they could secure their border within 72 hours.
At the rate the Federal Government is moving to protect Texas (and all other states) from being overrun with hostile invaders from Mexico, it would take 720 years (e.g., it would never happen).
Texas is under invasion ..
Rancher: Linn Area a Corridor for Illegal Activity
Matter of fact
I think there would be a massive boom in the influx of capital to the COUNTRY of Texas
The Country of Texas would not be able to keep up the demand for new housing for all of the new citizens
that would be the only down fall
I would say a 15 - 20 Million New Residents would be a conservative number and as the disenfranchised citizens from the other 49 broke states seen how the country of Texas was booming other states would try to secede from the broke union as well or watch the country of Texas grow while their residents eat each other and fight off the Illegal Alien invasion by themselves
Matter of fact 2
The Country of Texas would have their own currency
I would invest my devalued dollars in the Country of Texas; just for the mear fact of trying to recoop my losses in a devalued dollar

See that empty hole in the Flag
Puerto Rico wants in... you wont even have to change the amount of stars
I only see Major Plus's for the Country of Texas
A third world country to the North, South, West and and open waters to the East for exporting goods to other nations that could afford their goods ... North America would only be able to afford food from Texas and even that would be minimal as the dollar and Peso continue to go down
Mean while food and goods Imported from Mexico and America would be DIRT CHEAP ... from a devalued dollar and Peso
Illegal Aliens from Texas would flock to the North and Western states that want improved land scaping services; however that might break the state and North American bank's paying for HUD Housing and food stamp services as well as paying for health care
Yep Yep ... I only see Major Plus's for Texas
