A Texas nationalist group has held a demonstration, calling on state lawmakers to introduce a bill that would allow Texans to choose whether to secede from the United States.The Houston Chronicle reported that: the Texas National Movement rallied on the steps of the Capitol building in Austin on Saturday, to mark Texas Independence Day and push for a referendum on secession.
Lauren Savage, vice president of the movement said: "Texas can take better care of itself than Washington. We are here to raise interest in the Legislature of the possibility of secession to cure the ills of America"
The group argues in its resolution that the federal government has failed to protect its borders from illegal immigrants.
It goes on to state that the government has, "implemented thousands of laws, mandates and agencies in violation of the United States Constitution that have invaded the sovereignty of the State of Texas."
Better ask the Mexican drug cartels what they think about this before you get too carried away.
