Regarding the Texas problem:
Texas Could Secede From U.S. in 2023 as GOP Pushes for Referendum

Texas Republicans are pushing for a referendum to decide whether the state should secede from the U.S.

The demand for Texans to be allowed to vote on the issue in 2023 was one of many measures adopted in the Texas GOP's party platform following last week's state convention in Houston.

Under a section titled "State Sovereignty," the platform states: "Pursuant to Article 1, Section 1, of the Texas Constitution, the federal government has impaired our right of local self-government. Therefore, federally mandated legislation that infringes upon the 10th Amendment rights of Texas should be ignored, opposed, refused, and nullified.

Godspeed, Texas.

Or as some of us call it, a bonus.

@Ozuye502 And this is what we offer you. Free and clear. All yours.

Just a few conditions. You are no longer part of the US and as such, you will necessarily set up trade and tariff agreements, as US supplies, resources, protection and the Constitution will no longer apply to you.

Your borders will be treated no differently than any others. Should you try to enter US territory without legal authorization to do so, you will be caught, detained and deported without hearing.

All social welfare programs afforded US citizens will be terminated; this will include but is not limited to: mail, healthcare, education, transport, roads & bridges, social security, grants, scholarship and tax breaks & incentives.

Of course, you'll have all the "right" and "freedom" you want in your new home. Watch out, though. Get's awful hot down here.

@Graylight On the other hand,if pepole from the new,independent Texas sneak into the U.S.A,prehaps they should be treated like the Mexican migrants and just be let in,with free public benefits and immunity from the law.

@DavidT8899 No undocumented visitor receives public services, but they do pay millions od dollars in taxes without benefit of them.

And they don't have immunity from the law and you know it.

@Graylight When you visit a foreign country you pay taxes to it. That does not give you citizenship rights there.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Diotrephes No one's implying it does or should. People here illegally do no receive social benefits but do pay into a system nonetheless.

The implication was undocumented aliens get free stuff and are free to commit crimes without punishment. Show me where this actually occurs on a level that even rivals much less outpaces America citizens, and an honest debate is underway.

@Graylight I know quite the opposite.In California,if an illegal is involved in a car accident,even if they have a drivers license-yes,they give them out to illegals there-they wont pull it from them,even if the accident was proven to be their fault an no matter what the severity.Likewise,if they dont have one,they wont be prosecuted no matter what the circumstances.The rationale for this is that it would be unfair to deprive them of their "livelihood."If only the gave the American CITIZENS such consideration!And dont forget about the free healthcare too!
DavidT8899 · 22-25, M
@Graylight Oh,and if youre even allowed to stay here after ILLEGALLY sneaking into the country,that by itself is forgiveness of a crime!

So, what you're demonstrating here, is that you have no clue how the law works in California. Or anywhere in the US.

The penalty for getting into an accident, is not to take away your driver's license. You may get a ticket, if it's your fault, or if you're driving recklessly.

And there is NO free healthcare, but it looks like you get your speaking points from InfoWars.

Yes, I'm sure 🤣 If you knew how to prove it, you would have done so.

@DavidT8899 California doesn't have any laws that require individuals to show ID to police in any instance.

@Graylight Thanks for the information =

Can You Refuse to Show ID to Police in California?
"California does not have any laws that require individuals to show ID to police in any instance. Lacking any “Stop and Identify” or “Papers Please” laws, cops are unable to legally penalize you for politely refusing to furnish ID in most circumstances.

However, if you are pulled over or get arrested, you will need to provide the officer with an ID or face additional penalties. In addition, if you were pulled over for a DUI and failed to show ID, your refusal may be used against you in court."

Do I have to identify myself to police in California?
Posted on October 1, 2021
"You do not have to show police your identification in California, unless you are being lawfully detained or arrested. Unlike some other states, California does not have a “stop and identify” statute that makes it a crime to refuse to identify yourself. However, Vehicle Code section 12500(a) VC makes it a crime to drive without a license.

Do I have to show my ID to a California police officer?
No, Californians do not have a general legal obligation to show their ID whenever a police officer asks to see it.

Unlike in many other state laws, California law does not have a statute that forbids people from refusing to show their ID. These statutes, known as “stop and identify” or “papers please” laws, require people to show their ID if police ask for it. However, the laws generally state that police or peace officers are only allowed to ask for identification if they have a reasonable suspicion that the person:

is committing a crime,
has committed a crime, or
is about to commit a crime.
Some of the states that have “stop and identify” laws are:

Colorado,1
Nevada,2
Ohio,3 and
Utah.4
Other states, like Arizona5 and New York,6 let officers who reasonably suspect criminal activity to demand a suspect’s name, address, and an explanation of his or her conduct. These laws do not necessarily require the suspect to provide their ID card to the law enforcement officer, though."
