I am seriously of the opinion that the United States is too large and needs to split into at least four independent nations. Mind you that the United States has completely perverted the definition of a “state” as that term normally refers to an independent entity, not part of a larger hole. Really, we should be 50 independent nations, but have chosen to follow the mandates of a higher authority, which could be removed.
Canada and others have territories, some are divided into other sub government entities, etc. they all still function. Just semantics.
I’m a fan of states setting their own environment. Some legalized recreational drugs. Others said they was crazy, doom and gloom. Prove it. Let them try, let’s see the proof.
States have certain subcultures. I want them to compete. Compete for education, jobs, etc.
Nothing illegal however, shouldn’t have to state that.
One of the key issues here is laws being or not being enforced, and interpretation.
Most people here, in my view favor, more open immigration, Texas seems to be insisting the current law isn’t being followed.
Sounds like politicians can’t get their jobs done and fix it. But hey, they are all still getting paid, and their health care coverage, and their retirements, and legal insider trading, and getting future employment opportunities, etc etc etc rant rant rant. I don’t like politicians.
The real answer to all of this is just decentralization - this was the intention of the Constitution, I believe, and the very model of American government.

I’m not sure that’s a justification.
Don’t other nations have the same thing?

Same but Russia instead.
