If Texas secedes, would others follow suit?

Most people believe that if Texas got off this sinking ship, Oklahoma would go with them. Hopefully, Alabama would, too.

Where would Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama go? That land is part of the United States. The PEOPLE of Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama might go somewhere. But the land isn't. The Union is indivisible.

They already are somewhere. There are maps available on the internet if you'd like to see for yourself.

You've got yourself a deal. Aside from the fact that you apparently have a problem with Latin Americans

Only with the crime, poverty, and inability to speak English and assimilate.

I wouldn't mind having Northern Florida. You can keep the Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, and Jacksonville, and we'll take the rest.

You've got yourself a deal. Aside from the fact that you apparently have a problem with Latin Americans, I've been to Jacksonville and liked it and I've been to Miami and LOVED it.

No, the land belongs to the people of Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama, so these folks don't need to go anywhere.

Sure...So if Texas secedes the US will simply say, "Have Big Bend National Park, have Guadalope Mountains National Park. And those hundreds of miles of ocean lapping onto your shores--take it, it's yours."

I don't think so.

Can I have that eastern coastline from Ft. Lauderdale up to West Palm Beach?

Again, they are crazy if they think they are gonna get to keep that land. If they want to go, then GIT!!! But the land remains in the union.:thumbsup:

The federal government owns/controls 1.8% of Texas land, most of which is in National Parks.

The US Military bases are leased from the State of Texas, not owned by the federal government.

NONE of the coastline is owned or controlled by the federal government.

It should be noted that national parks are not included in the Enclave Clause, so the authority of the federal government to control such land within states is questionable, at best.

Interesting, do you have a link for that?
From what I have read- Ft Hood land was purchased by the US Govt.
