#1 Since this is Texas you're talking about, I thought the answer was "Secede"

#2 Barack Obama's first known contact with Chicago Democratic Socialists of America occurred in 1992, shortly after he returned to Chicago, from his studies at Harvard.
Chicago City Clerk Miguel Del Valle, a long time DSA associate, told the 2008 Democratic Party convention of his first meeting with Barack Obama;
I first heard of Barack back in 1992. The year 1992 was a little like 2008. Then, as now, we needed to save the country from the misguided policies of a president named Bush. I was working with my old friend, Lou Pardo, a retired machinist, on an effort to register Latino voters in Chicago. One day, we were talking about how we could reach more voters and cover more ground, but we needed more resources. Lou told me we should go see Barack Obama, who was directing a voter-registration drive called Project Vote. So Lou met with Barack and, without missing a beat, Barack Obama helped us out. Barack Obama made sure that the thousands of Latinos in Chicago were registered to vote. He helped empower the Latino community and ensure that we were full participants in our democracy.
Lou Pardo was a confirmed member of Democratic Socialists of America - Key Wiki (Link)

An Obama old trick, now national in nature.

#3 As long as the illegal path to citizenship is at least twice as long as the average legal path, I'm OK.

#4 the House holds the purse strings and can cut off funding for actions that can't be justified legally.

Nah, the AG said the payment of debt is Constitutionally required and Congress has to fund it, and most of the spending is in self-perpetuating categories that can't be unfunded without passing new laws, thus automatically incurring new debt that must be paid. Hence Congress is irrelevant.

#5 Texas really needs to be its own country. Biggest problem they'll have is the immigration backlog.

#6 Texas really needs to be its own country. With so many people who now feel the US is no longer their country, many Americans long for their own country. Maybe Texas could be that country's first state.
