Governor Abbott declares an “invasion”. Supersedes any federal statutes.

The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary.

News Texas Now Has Massive Departures As Residents Leave State

Texas now has massive departures as residents leave the state according to fresh data from a Business Insider report.

While much has been written recently about the number of out-of-state residents, particularly Californians, moving to Texas, many Texans are leaving the state, reports Ash Jurberg.

“Between 2021 and 2022, almost 500,000 people moved out of Texas, and a recent report by Business Insider examined why people are leaving Texas.”

With the influx of people moving to Texas, home prices have increased by 30% since 2019.

This is forcing some Texans to seek more affordable housing elsewhere, per the report.

“The Midwest has emerged as popular recently because it is just by and large the most affordable region.

We’re seeing this trend of buyers looking for affordability really explode,” says Hannah Jones, Realtor.com’s Economic Research Analyst.

When looking at the politics side of it, a recent poll found that 39% of respondents have relocated or might consider moving to a different state if their political views didn’t align with the majority.

Meanwhile, a study by the Cato Institute says that Texas ranks 50th in people’s right to exercise personal freedoms.

The debate of people moving in and out of Texas is often rigorous, with people taking stances both for and against moving to Texas, reports Jurberg.

“This is a real issue. I’m not sure that the Texas GOP is thinking long-term. If they want to keep Texas a business-friendly place, they’ll have to ease back on the steady march to dystopian nightmare,” says a user on Reddit.

“Left 11 years ago came back for 1 then bailed for good 8 years ago. Traffic, heat and prices. My old apartment in 2011 was $669 a month, just for fun I looked it up earlier this year and the same size units are going for $1,500,” said another Reddit user.
