Texans flock to social media to demand the state 'secede' after losing at Supreme Court

Texas lost another case at the U.S. Supreme Court against President Joe Biden's administration.

In this case, the federal government is fighting the state's decision to put razor wire on the border that blocks U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers from being able to access migrants. The incident unfolded after three migrants died in the river between the U.S. and Mexico. The Border Patrol was prevented from being able to save the family, which included two children.

On Monday, the High Court ruled that the federal government decides border issues and not Texas. Now, residents are demanding that they be allowed to leave the United States altogether.

One account, "Mario Presents," declared, "Texas will secede over this."

So did Clint Russell: "If the federal government will not allow the state of Texas to control its own border, then the state of Texas has every right to secede."

In fact, the top search term on the social media site "X" in the politics category was "Secede" for over an hour after the ruling. Hours later the phrase "Remember the Alamo" took over the top spot.

Bob Geiger, for example, pointed out that the state "can't even handle a small winter cold snap that would be considered just adorable by Upper-Midwest or Northeast standards." Recalling Donald Trump's fondness for pointing to "s--thole countries," he concluded the Republic of Texas would be the top of them all.

Laughing gifs were thrown around while one man identifying himself as the Ultra Gay Biker Dad explained the U.S. government would view the state as "a sovereign desert nation rich in oil and full of brown people and be like..." he said with a nodding Jack Nicholson gif.

Arturo Dominguez called out the secessionists for opposing the Constitution.

"All the people who ain't from here talking it's 'Time for Texas' to do whatever have no clue what they're talking about," he said. "Either we are a Constitutional Republic or we aren't. Abbott violated federal law and the Constitution. S-ck it. (also, Texas can't secede, so please, stfu)."

"I wonder if all these Texas people saying 'secede' realize that Texas was part of Mexico. Texas declared independence in 1836 and later joined the United States in 1845. I honestly would love to see it become part of Mexico again tbh," said account @l422y.

Others mocked accounts that kept misspelling secession as "succession," knocking the Texas education system.
