Newsweek: Thousands of Democrats in Texas support secession. The head of the Texas Nationalist Movement, Daniel Miller, said that tens of thousands of Democratic Party members support the state of Texas from the United States of America.
Miller has become the most daring figure in the battle with the federal government regarding how to secure the border between the U.S. and Mexico to confront irregular immigration. The state's exposure to a state of what was called an "invasion" allows for some exceptional measures for "self-defense," which is the strategy that Texas has resorted to.
