In latest wild twist, Texas Nationalist Movement declares support for breakup of Mexico

Unable to convince

Lone Star State leaders to hold a referendum on seceding from the United States, the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) has turned its attention south.

TNM President Daniel Miller declared his organization’s support for alleged secessionists in North Mexico in a bizarre video shared Tuesday on YouTube. In it, Miller encouraged Northern Mexican states to break off from that nation’s federal government in Mexico City.

Miller’s argument — or the closest we can figure — appears to be that the border crisis can only be stopped if Texas leaves the United States and Northern Mexican states also break free from their union.

“Our shared border has become a battleground for a crisis that affects both of our lands,” Miller said in the five-and-a-half-minute clip. “This has grown to become a national security crisis, a public safety crisis, a public health crisis and a humanitarian crisis unprecedented in our history … . This is why today I am announcing that the Texas Nationalist Movement is offering its full support to this movement in its mission to assert the independence of the northern states of Mexico.”
