Texas independence from the U.S.

[Mule 11]

I recently heard on the radio about Texas declaring independence from the U.S. Is there any truth to this or is it another news fable?

They've not done so yet but are considering it.

There have been rumblings about Texas leaving the Union for decades. What you are seeing with the illegal alien crisis and the overreach of the current admin is two things. First is pushing the feds to do their job on the border problem and the second is reasserting the rights of individual states to protect themselves when the federal government fails to do so. No more, no less.

When the feds drop the ball and allow invasion from illegal activity in many forms it goes back to the states to protect their borders and their constituents. I believe constituents/Americans have the right if those lines fail...

Yep and what's happening now with other states coming to the aid of Texas is an example of the sheer frustration with the current policies of an inept fed admin that has utterly failed the citizens they claim to represent and betray.
