I think back to a time so long ago, when states were upset over the federal government using their national guard troops for a war in a foreign land. In a time when a small town in California didn’t want military recruiters there, so that town would quickly be labeled as some sort of traitor.
That was way back then – like in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008.
Now here we are in 2009 and the Republicans have a new favorite talking point – secession! It started with Rick Perry of Texas yesterday, and today the state of Georgia is threatening the same thing.
Maybe we should just tell them goodbye. We immediately stop all federal funding to these states. We pull the border agents out of Texas and move them to the border of Texas and its neighboring states America. Georgia also gets its borders sealed off. If people want to travel from their to here, or vice-a-versa, they must go through the same routine they do at the northern and southern borders.
If you’re from Texas or Georgia, and caught in this country without having gone through our border check points, then you will be treated like an illegal immigrant. We can hold you until ready to deport you.
If you are a citizen of one of these former states, there is a way for you to become an American. Just call INS and they will start the paperwork. I got a brother in law from Canada who just spent the last year and thousands doing it. Maybe he will start giving advice for you.
I do have to say that I will miss Georgia. Texas? Not so much so. As matter of fact there is a perfect benefit of losing Texas as a state – no more retarded as Presidents from Texas! That right there is enough reason to tell them to fuck off.
