Imagine if a country allowed thieves to leave custody without bail, let them keep what they stole, refused to put out an arrest warrant when they refused to show up for their court date, and paid them to commit the crimes. You really think such a policy would have no effect on crime rates? If Texas ever manages to secede from the union, it won't happen unless or until America has a "great divorce" where red states secede from their blue cities and vice versa because national politicians on both sides are like transatlantic colonial masters who don't know the people they allegedly represent and are unwilling to let them govern themselves. The entire reason America seceded from Britain and created its own Constitution and Bill of Rights was so that individual communities could be allowed to rule themselves by their own cultural standards under the umbrella of common law. If one side can abuse federal power to turn Texas into California, the other side can abuse the same power to turn New York into Florida, and the ones who lose in both scenarios are "We the People."
