In 2012 more than 125,000 people In Texas signed a secession petition which said,
“The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect its citizens’ standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government”.
They wanted the White House to “Peacefully grant the State of Texas to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.”
Texas Railroad Commissioner, Republican Barry Smitherman, when running for Texas Attorney General said,
“Generally speaking, we have made great progress in becoming an independent nation, an ‘island nation’ if you will, and I think we want to continue down that path so that if the rest of the country falls apart … Texas can operate as a stand-alone entity with energy, food, water and roads as if we were a closed-loop system”.
In 2009, coincidenaltly after President Obama took office, Rick Perry pushed the idea of secession.
“There’s a lot of different scenarios,” he said at a Tea Party rally, “We’ve got a great union. There’s absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we’re a pretty independent lot to boot.”
Although he was incorrect he also said, “When we came into the nation in 1845, we were a republic, we were a stand-alone nation. And one of the deals was, we can leave anytime we want. So we’re kind of thinking about that again.”
Individual politicians in Texas have also brought up secession on more than one occasion.

Since the United States is dealing with border crossings between Mexico and Texas, and to defend that border using United States taxpayer money, and considering that people see this as an “invasion” of our country by 10 year old terrorists who will take our jobs and vote for Obama, we let Texas go.
They have been talking about leaving, so, let them (except Austin that doesn’t want to).
Then when these refugee children cross the Mexico/Texas border, they will not be coming into the United States, but into a foreign buffer country.
Texas, which has been very vocal about the sanctity of borders will, of course, take every step to prevent any violation of the borders between them and New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, basically, the United States.
They get what they want, sovereignty, and we get what we want, a buffer nation that will not let the undocumented immigrants get any further than their country.
The only disadvantage they may face is when they will have to give back or pay for any federal lands, like military installations and the equipment that was placed there at the expense of the taxpayers of the United States, or buy all that from us, since they didn’t pay for it originally.
If they were involved in payments, Texans certainly realize they only paid, at best, only a 1/50 part.
It’s a win/win solution.
