Texit would be a huge boon for Mexico, because it would create a buffer state to protect them from America 🤭

Texas finally secedes

I can't wait for these cowards to back down. And they will back down. They have nothing to fight the U.S. government with.

It will be interesting to see what the Border Patrol union does. It seems as though they are on Texas' side...

From NBPC Twitter Friday, 1/26:

Rank-and file BP agents are not going to start arresting TX NG members for following their LAWFUL orders.

That's fake news. TX NG and rank-and-file BP agents work together and respect each other's jobs. Period. If TX NG members have LAWFUL orders, then they have to carry out those orders.

TX NG members realize that rank-and-file BP agents have their orders as well. Lawful orders, no matter how unpopular or distasteful amongst rank-and-file agents, must be followed. Unlawful orders (as determined by competent legal counsel and not what some outhouse lawyer behind a keyboard says) will not be followed.

Rank-and-file BP agents appreciate and respect what TX has been doing to defend their state in the midst of this catastrophe that the Biden Admin has unleashed on America.

We want to be perfectly clear, there is no fight between rank-and-file BP agents and the TX NG, Gov. Abott, or TX DPS. It may make flashy headlines, but it simply isn't true.

in the midst of this catastrophe that the Biden Admin has unleashed on America.

That almost sounds like they would strike instead

Let them strike. This isn't between Texas and the border patrol anymore. This is between Texas and the federal government. The next step is to federalize the Texas National Guard just like Eisenhower did in Arkansas to support racial integration in schools.
