It appears that there are a lot of people in the state of Texas who would like to see the state secede from the United States of America.

In fact, there are more than 100,000 people in the state who signed a petition to secede. This warrants a response from the U.S. government.

If I were speaking for the U.S. government, here is what I would propose to the state of Texas.

1. Put the secession choice on the state ballot.

2. If the majority of Texans want to secede, let the state go, and wish it good luck. At the same time, stop all federal programs to the state.

3. If the majority of Texans do not want to secede, then:

a. Let the ones who want to secede self-deport to any country in the world. The U.S. government will pay for a one-way, first-class plane ticket.

b. Take away their U.S. citizenship and do not allow them to ever return to the USA.

In my view, we do not need these people in our nation. They are a disgrace to both the state of Texas and the nation.
