Texans Consider Secession Amid Border Crisis
The ongoing border crisis at the southern border has sparked a renewed interest in the TEXIT movement among residents in Texas. Daniel Miller, president of the Texas Nationalist Movement, stated that the surge of migrants crossing the border and trampling Texas National Guard members has “moved the needle” for Texans to consider supporting the movement for Texas to secede from the United States.
Miller emphasized that the federal government’s handling of the border and immigration issues has highlighted its incompetence and failure to secure the border effectively. As a result, the TEXIT movement, which advocates for Texas to become an independent nation, has gained momentum in recent times.
President Biden’s approach to immigration has further fueled support for TEXIT, with Miller stating that Texans are realizing the need for a self-governing nation to establish a secure border and implement a sensible immigration policy. He highlighted the rights that an independent nation would have, including the ability to set its own immigration policies.
Miller pointed to the legal battles between Texas officials and the Biden Administration as evidence of the federal government’s interference in Texas’ efforts to secure its border. He stressed that reclaiming the right to defend the border and set immigration policies is crucial for Texas’ sovereignty.
The growing support for TEXIT in Texas reflects a shift in public opinion towards self-governance and independence from federal regulations. Miller believes that Texans are best suited to govern their state and make decisions that align with their values and interests.
As the border crisis continues to escalate, the TEXIT movement is gaining traction as Texans seek autonomy and control over their border security and immigration policies.
