At a certain point in the immigration debate I'm just wondering if the open borders people could stomach the alternate solution to having huge fractions of central American nation's population living in the United States which is: the US should establish these nations as protectorates and territories till they get their shit together. If these places are such basket cases that their entire economy is based on remittances from the US they obviously could benefit from our legal system, we can drop trade barriers, and open legal immigration to them. Please tell me what's so wrong with the US just you know... annexing El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua at this point? If Texas is such an inseparable part of the Union and can't secede, why not Panama?

Texas voters!

Did you sign the TEXIT petition? Not sure if you did? Maybe you signed the old one from a couple years ago, but aren’t sure if you ever signed the current one. Tomorrow is the last day to sign it!

The petition has met the minimum number of signatures, but during the verification process some signatures may be declared invalid if some people filled out the form incorrectly. To make sure this is on the ballot in March, we need some cushion!

Please use the link above to check whether you have signed the current petition, and if you haven’t signed it, please do so today (if you’re a registered Texas voter, that is)!

right wing texans including greg abbott are so psyched to challenge the federal government and threaten secession but they'll be shitting themselves and crying if they have to show a passport or get a visa to drive to oklahoma. or pay out their ass for california oranges that suddenly have import fees

Btw I, as a Texan, need y'all to understand something about this Supreme Court decision and why Abbott's defiance of both them and federal border patrol has people up in arms.

First of all, the decision was literally "the border and immigration are the jurisdiction of the federal government, not the states." Which. One would hope. This decision was in reference to border patrol agents needing to cut RAZOR WIRE in order to get to people who need medical attention or to be saved from drowning in the Rio Grande. This is because once you are on American soil, citizen or not, you are under American jurisdiction and they are required to help you in an emergency situation (eg, bleeding out from razor wire, drowning because of death buoys in the river, ect).

What Abbott and his flunkies are mad about is LITERALLY that those agents are trying to save SOME lives. Mind, Biden has built more border wall in his presidency than Trump ever did, and still continues to maintain these inhumane detention camps out near Eagle Pass that deny people blankets in the cold, water in the heat, and soap. Literally they don't let folks have fucking SOAP.

And Abbott is defying the will of the federal government because they want to save SOME people from his death traps in and around the Rio Grande (which are also, unsurprisingly, an unmitigated ecological disaster as well).

Now, there's a reason why talk of Texas secession is coming up specifically at this time. Because when Texas seceded back in the day, 2 sentences after the sentence which boils down to "we're seceding because we want the freedom to own black people," there's this utter gem:

"The federal government has failed in her duty to defend our state from Mexican bandits and Indian savages."

Gee, what's that sound like? If it sounds like "we wanna own black people and kill brown people," you're absolutely correct!

We have been here before. And it was one of the bloodiest domestic conflicts in the world, certainly the bloodiest war fought on American soil. We cannot allow assholes like Abbott and Trump to make us repeat this. We cannot sit idly by and let the poorest, most desperate people in this half of the world be murdered for the crime of fleeing for their lives.

If you take anything away from this post, let it be this:

This is not about people who don't go through the processes, or just barge in and sneak into your place and steal your jobs. That is a racist, xenophobic fabrication. These are people who have no choice but to flee their homes and seek refuge in America. And we greet them by trying to kill them, and then throwing them in prison while stealing their children and "deciding what to do with them."

And Greg Abbott and the Texas Republican party are mad that they're not being allowed to kill more of these people.

I will leave you with this thought: If these people indeed have the option to immigrate legally, why aren't they? Why are they trying to go across what is famously the most militarized border between two nations at peace in the world?

And why, if this immigration crisis is so dire that Texas is "full to bursting," why is my hometown just outside of Austin one of the fastest growing in the country, and why is it all white people moving in? Why is Abbott offering tax credits to people who move their tech and creative industries, and thus more people to work those jobs, and thus adding more people to Texas?

oh boy we cooking

If you are a registered voter in Texas, sign this petition! This is to get a referendum on the Republican primary ballot that reads "Should the State of Texas reassert its status as an independent nation?"

Whether you want Texas to secede or not, whether you think we can secede or not, the voters should have the chance to answer this question for themselves. All this petition does is get the measure on the ballot so it can be voted on.

If you signed a petition about this in 2021, that was for the 2022 primary ballot and has expired. This is a new petition.

"According to open sources, the Texas National Guard is a combined-arms army equipped with various types of armored vehicles (tanks, APCs, and other armored vehicles), artillery, and aviation (helicopters, fighters, bombers). In fact, Texas has its own National Guard, Air Force, and internal troops."
