The gov't controls the Border Patrol.  There were groups, not just in texas, that were privately organized.  For safety reasons they had to stop. 
It is high time we eased the drought suffered by the Tree of Liberty. Let us not stand and suffer the bonds of tyranny, nor ignorance, laziness, cowardice. It is better that we die in our cause then to say that we took counsel among these.

The government controls the Border Patrol.  And Texas lets them?

groups privately organized.  For safety reasons they had to stop.  Wonder what those safety reasons were?  Couldn't be that they weren't professionally run.

Why can't Texas have it's own border patrol?  Maybe they would have to raise taxes to pay for it?

The safety reasons were due to the fact of mexican viloence spreading to our border states.  Unfortunetly civilians cannot own the same type of weapons that alot of criminals do, hence they were outgunned.  That and the fact the Fed. limited their powers to simply observing and reporting the whereabouts of illegals trying to cross from mexico.

Sounds like the Texans have already lain down and let the Feds take over.  Let the Feds do it.  Give up some of our state's responsibilities so we can get more Fed money.

Texas used to defend it's borders.  When did the Feds take over?

If Texas secedes, who is going to keep the illegals out of Texas?

When you give up your responsibilities you give up some of your freedom too, and if you are going to put a price tag on freedom, you don't deserve it. 

Texas let the Fed take over when it agreed to enter into the union.

If Texas secedes, then Texans will keep out the illegals, hopefuly by any means necessary.

By not receiving any federal money or help and having to raise all the money itself.  Is there enough oil in Texas to support it.

I don't know the numbers on it but I would wager that the money saved by not having to pay into the gov't would go a long way to support it.

I wouldn't bet on it.  IMHO it will take everything Texas has to stop something that should have been stopped a long time ago.  That's a lot of border there.
