  1. If Texas seceeded... ...New borders would be established which would require passports to cross. This would screw up trade between Texas and the "old US". ...Homosexuality would be banned and homosexuals would be rounded up and either deported or executed. ...Latinos and Blacks would be used as forced labor for the state's agriculture and livestock needs. The excess of them would be deported to Mexico. ...Latinos and Blacks would lose their civil rights, and all cultural aspects of them would be banned. ...Texas would become a new Christian theocracy, with government by God as the standard. ...Evolutionists and "high minded" scientists and teachers would be forced out of the state to the "old US". ...Eventually, the narcotics trade would become "official" with Texas being the new supplier of illegal narcotics to the "old US" and worldwide. ...Texas would do fine at first economically, but would start to wither as it could no longer sell it's primary products to the rest of the world as nations start to boycott them for their political stances. ...This economic decay will cause havoc in the nation, causing any "brain drain" already happening to accelerate and further plunge the economy down.
