It seems that Texas and it's support has prevailed and can now secure it's border. The states are not knights in shining armor faithfully securing the rights of their populations, but each and all themselves just as corrupted as fed.gov. That suggests to me business as usual, with less illegal immigration, is all that will come hereafter.

Texas is a net producer of natural gas, and there is no point to threatening to cut off supplies of gas to Texas.

Thanks!
