After the United Kingdom voted Thursday to leave the European Union, a group of Texans are pushing for a Texas exit, or Texit — the Lone Star State’s chance to break free from the U.S. and its federal government.
The Texas Nationalist Movement is urging the state to hold a Brexit-style referendum over the possibility of Texas seceding from the rest of the country.
“It is now important for Texas to look to #Brexit as an inspiration and an example that Texans can also take control of our destiny,” the group’s president, Daniel Miller, said in a late night Thursday statement, shortly after America’s ally across the pond voted to leave its transcontinental bloc. “It is time for Texans to rally with us and fight for the right to become a self-governing nation.”

It would save the rest of the nation a lot of money. Texas receives more in federal spending than it provides in tax revenues.
Have fun trying to create replacement jobs when all of the military bases are relocated.
Texas is big enough to be its own country. The only problem after that is what happens when Mexico decides that it is time to take part of it land back and attacks Texas? Will the US come in to help?
8:22 AM you already know the answer to that... and that is a big fat no, they will not come help, when you break away, you are on your own, economy wise and military wise...
Could we just give it back to Mexico? Would get rid of a big drain on our country.
Won't that change where the wall goes?
9:28 Lets give Maryland to Mexico. I would rather see that. I would move to Texas.
