As the people of Texas continue to throw a temper tantrum we should be proactive and eject them from the United States Of America. This would aid the US economy and defense as follows.
1- There are 21 US Military Bases in Texas. Texas is the 3rd largest recipient of military expenditures. These expenditures would be distributed among the states receiving the military bases and personnel.
2 - Companies with headquarters in Texas that wished to do business with the United States would move to other low tax states as New Hampshire or Delaware.
3 - Two-thirds of the US/Mexico border is located in Texas. This would save the US taxpayer huge amounts in immigration and border security. Building a fence along the remaining 7 miles of Mexican border would be an easy affair.
