With everything in the new lately about our second ammendment rights, language in the work place, and federal courts trying to make decisions about what happens in Farmers Branch, I just had to question if we would be better off being a Republic and deciding our own way of life. This is just me thinking out loud and wondering.
Collectively we believe that when you come to this state, you should want to become a Texan and embrace our culture and customs. If you think they way they did it in ________ was better, then leave. The Interstate highway that comes in to Texas has a lane going back out.
We believe in the right to protect ourselves and our property using guns if necessary. We feel that we need to protect our state’s ability to make that decision, not hand it over to the federal government to decide in their court. The Supreme Court now is handling a case involving the individual’s right to bear arms. If the federal government wants to over-ride the state’s wishes, we need to consider leaving the union of the United States and be the Republic of Texas again.
Texas was established by fiercely independent people who were not afraid of hard work and would have considered government hand-outs the same as charity and would have been demeaning. If people want to live off of Lone Star Cards, Medicaid, HUD housing, and freebies offered by the government, then they should leave, or Texans should pass laws to stop those who would live like leeches off of our resources. As a Republic, we would only offer benefits to those who are legal citizens who have hit a hard time and just need a hand up not a perpetual hand out.
Employment is reserved for citizens and legal immigrants. If a company wants to hire illegal aliens at a reduced salary cheating our citizens and legal immigrants out of a fair wage, then be ready to face dire consequences. No jobs, no freebies, then most of the immigration problems are solved.
A person coming illegally into this country is not acceptable. If our federal government will not build a wall and enforce immigration laws, then cities like Farmers Branch should be able to enforce them without federal courts interfering. As a Republic, the borders on all sides should be walled and guarded. You want to come in, then show our militia your papers.
People from many different countries settled Texas, leaving their countries and cultures behind to be Americans. We don’t speak the German, Gaelic, French, Russian, or other languages of our ancestors. We speak English, although it has a twang called a Texas accent. If you don’t want to learn English and be a Texan, then you might consider leaving. As a Republic we could mandate that all business be transacted in English and if you need a translator, then you need to provide one. If you can’t learn the language within a year, then you need to return from wherever you came. We need to save the taxpayers’ money and not providing translators and information printed in languages other than English would save money.

I am married with three grown children. The last one just moved out so we are experiencing "empty nest" quite happily. No dogs, no cats, or anything else to take care of. I am a proud American, Texan and Southern woman. I am very proud of my son, who is serving in the US Navy. I am bilingual as I speak English and Texan. We are currently looking to relocate in Farmers Branch.
