Isn’t this against the US constitution? Razor wire along the state border and checkpoints on roads that cross the state border are kind of nuts. I read a comment joking that the wire and road checkpoints were to keep Texan women from escaping to New Mexico, which got a bitter laugh out of me.

It's so strange to me how anti-authoritarian the rhetoric is in Texas despite having one of the most authoritarian and least democratic governments in the country. The executive branch has so few checks it's ridiculous; not that I'd want most of the dumbasses in state congress to get their way.
