Who's Backing Big Tex? A State-Side Standoff
So, Texas is having a bit of a tiff with the federal government about immigration, and it seems half the country has picked a side. It's like a giant game of "Choose Your Fighter," but instead of Pokémon, it's states.
The Lone Star State and Its Loyal Subjects
Texas, the ever-so-independent Lone Star State, is feeling a bit outnumbered. But fear not, Tex! You've got some solid allies. Think of it as a real-life version of the Avengers, but with less spandex and more red state pride.
The Redneck Avengers
Let's give a round of applause to the states that have thrown their hats in the ring for Texas: Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and
It's like a red state reunion, but with a side of border patrol. You gotta admit, it's pretty impressive to see so many states sticking together. Maybe there's hope for bipartisanship after all... Nah, just kidding. This is America.
The Lone Wolf: Vermont
But wait, there's a twist! Vermont, the quirky, maple syrup-loving state, decided to sit this one out. They're like the neutral Switzerland of the US, just without the chocolate. Props to them for staying out of the drama, but where's the fun in that?
How to Spot a Texas Ally
So, you're wondering how to tell if your state is down with Texas? Here's a quick cheat sheet:

If your state checks two out of three of these boxes, there's a good chance they're on Team Texas.
