Living in Texas is like parenting a teenager. Any time you tell them they can’t do an obviously bad thing, they threaten to leave. Case in point, the recent talk about secession over illegal immigration.

Let’s say that Texas actually does secede, either from a public vote or by the order of the state government. That action is illegal, and the United States would have to use military force to stop it. Texas contains a great deal of the nation’s space infrastructure, 15 active military bases, and one of the most important ports. There is no scenario where the federal government lets any of that go.

On top of that, Texas would suddenly be on the hook to handle the entire border infrastructure. The current Biden proposal for money to spend on the southern border is $25 billion, about one-sixth of Texas’s entire yearly budget. Since launching the $11 billion boondoggle that is Operation Lone Star, Abbott has proven that he has no plan for curbing illegal immigration that doesn’t involve throwing as many brown people in jail as he can or shipping them to other cities. Well,. I suppose we could use the 18 empty federal prisons in Texas , but we have to staff and maintain them.
