Is this one of the things you say when you’re the Governor of Texas to make yourself look cool and independent?

Hope he knows that if it is possible, it’s also possible that Mexico could make a legit claim to get its old territory back. Which couldn’t possibly sit well with the “dey took er jobs!” crowd that likely is hootin’ and hollerin’ in support of any asinine, Chuck Norris-approved thing the Gov. says.

Let’s see, we’ll remove all our military bases and equipment.  NASA’s gone.  Any money for roads, education, and other infrastructure stops.  All government contracts are null and void.  Anyone who stays can say goodbye to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Have fun with the Mexican drug cartels.  Oh, and the next time a hurricane runs roughshod over your ass, you’re on your own.

We’ll use the money we save to build a wall around your new country, so none of you can sneak into the U.S. and steal our jobs. kthxbai.
