biden should call the bluff and ask the house and senate to release texas from the union under the condition it compensates the US for any federal land and supplies.
Not even. We take what’s ours, they can keep the land and what infrastructure is left. All federal funds are frozen and all US based assets for Texans are frozen until diplomatic relations are formally established and financial treaties are in place. All power, pipelines and rail are blocked/shut off at the border. All passports in Texas names are null, along with all no cost governmental passports. Military Checkpoints at all major roads in and out of Texas with nobody allowed in or out without a valid US passport. All airport and federal airport staff are reassigned or permitted to resign with negative SF50 rehire status. All airspace on the US side is closed to any transit.
Most of this can be accomplished in a week or two with the military securing the border operations (as is appropriate). It would be fair to allow, say, a month grace period for anyone who wants to stay in the US to relocate. After they are free to leave by the gulf or, if Mexico decides to honor the defunct passports.
I don't think we give these military installations up.
Biden is commander in chief. I'd love to see him just order one or two of the smaller bases to relocate to another state, effective immediately. And while he's at it, send NASA HQ back to Massachusetts where it belongs. Then let Texas know if they want to keep playing he can relocate the rest of the bases out of the state.
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.
