    The US / TexAss border would be nearly as long as the entire east coast of the US. Securing that isn’t going to be fast or easy.

      There are only 8 interstate crossings and less than a 100 crossings of 2 lane roads. People moving across the boarder is not a huge concern. We are in the second stage of Foundation conquest, and commerce is the arbiter of civilization. Cut off commerce and you have, well - just look at Cuba.

      Besides, it’s not just the commerce. Block off regular transportation and revoke citizenship, and everyone left of semi-liberal in TX will leave - and with them most of the knowledge worker/white collar worker base. That’s would do more to decimate the TX economy than any other pressure.

      No biggie. We’ll just install razor wire along the Red River to drown moms and their kids, build detention centers and kidnap children to satisfy the vast worldwide human trafficking market, all while simultaneously handing these invading Texans 5,000 dollar checks, free bus tickets to anywhere, and free government-provided housing or whatever the Republican talking points are.
