re: Texas Nationalist Movement: Q&A transcript from tonight (2/4/21)

It can't be worse than Biden's new America. I am a member now, let's do this.

So what’s the plan when half the south moves to Texas?? Housing, jobs, transportation?? The dems won’t fight it because then they’ll have the rest of the country without Texas in I it. So what’s the long term plans for a mass population upswing??

I don’t think as many folks will relocate as are currently saying they will.

That said, the moment Texas becomes a free and sovereign nation, immigration laws will immediately go into place.

It’s been stated that a points system will be used to select skilled migrant workers, ranking/prioritizing applicants based on characteristics such as: education, language skills, and work experience. Candidates who score the highest number of points (based on pre-determined characteristics) will be invited to submit a visa application. Some countries allow immigrants to enter the country without a job offer; others require or prioritize job offers. I haven’t a clue what Texas voters will decide.

At present, all discussions of the sort have been modeled after Australia’s immigration laws. Expat retirees can apply for a Permanent Retirement Visa, under the following conditions:

————-

In order to qualify, you will need to adhere to stricter rules and regulations. Permanent retirement visas are viewed as investment visas and for this reason, you will be required to demonstrate that you possess assets of a pre-determined value. This value will vary according to which area of [Texas] you wish to retire. However, a general rule of thumb is as follows:

High Growth Region: $750,000 worth of assets and an additional $500,000 for any dependent (spouse).
Low Growth Region: $500,0000 worth of assets and an additional $250,000 for any dependent (spouse).
You will be required to demonstrate that you have owned these assets for a minimum of two years prior to applying for a permanent retirement visa.

Again, Texas may use a similar model, but it’s doubtful it would be the exact same.

FTR, these are simply my opinions and echoes of what I’ve heard discussed and what I’ve read. NONE of these issues have been settled; shoot, we may very well not be granted a vote this legislative session. If that’s the case, this process will repeat itself in 2023 ... and beyond ... until a vote is granted by the TX Lege.

Regardless, Texas welcomes you!
