Supporters say the TEXT project, loosely inspired by Britain's withdrawal from the European Union, or Brexit, will help solve the immigration crisis at the US border. And end the fight against the Washington government. After the dispute over the aforementioned issue between US President Joe Biden and Texas Governor Greg Abbott, which caused division in America
“We know that this is the only way Texas can secure its borders. And to have a reasonable immigration system is to do the same thing that 200 other countries around the world are doing. We should do this as an independent nation with With self-government.”
During the 19th century, Texas was part of Mexico. Before obtaining sovereign status in 1836 after the War of Independence. Also known as the “Texas Revolution” which 9 years later joined the United States and became the country's “28th state”.
Even the nationalist movement in Texas requires state legislators to pass laws. Allowing a referendum regarding secession from the United States but the US Constitution and there is no provision allowing states to do so. Furthermore, the secession of southern states, including Texas, in 1861 also led to the Civil War. The bloodiest time in US history as well.
Mr. Joshua Blank, research director of the Texas Political Project from the University of Texas at Austin, said the separatist movement in Texas has been around for a long time. But it remains a marginal movement. Along with the addition of that the border crisis between the state of Texas and the federal government has created a situation where this group is seeking benefits. To make their opinions more common.
Incidentally, February poll results showed that 26% of respondents felt like “Texans” before they felt like one. “Americans,” which the above number is down slightly from 27% in 2014
Plank added: “But this does not mean that 26% of Texas residents support bloody secession from the United States.”
On the other hand, a Newsweek poll revealed that 67% of Texans want their state to continue to be part of the United States.
Even Miller and many Texans believed that secession was different from the war with Mexico. Or civil wars that occurred in the past can be achieved peacefully. But on the contrary he said empty. Texas would likely not be able to secede peacefully. Because the federal government of the United States will not negotiate the terms that make them want.
