You really think that would happen in Dallas or Houston? Where would all those new jobs come from?
More likely there would be another revolution inside this new country. Good luck with self-deportation.
“Where would all those new jobs come from?”
From the businesses moving there from the former Soviet States of America.
The parasites revolting against the prey?
Wouldn't end well.
For the parasites.
Again, easy. Without the federal regulations, Texas unleashed would produce hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Companies who meet principled standards would be allowed to move to business friendly Texas. Without the social hand outs that currently exist, self deportation of the takers would happen. You cut off the free cheese and the takers get to work, or go elsewhere.
As far as the state getting flooded with folks moving here in droves...just have immigration laws like NZ or AUS....you have to prove to be self sufficient (wealth, business, skill) in order to move here.
