Newsweek contacted the press office of Texas Governor Greg Abbott by email on Saturday.
'Asked how secession from the Union would help the migrant situation, Miller added: 'As a self-governing, independent nation, Texas would have the power to secure the entire border and implement a sane immigration policy that works for Texas without being handcuffed by the federal government's conscious and intentional efforts to create this crisis.
