Texas might be friendly territory now, but in the 1930's when Jews really needed a Jewish state, the US would not even allow Jews  to enter the country let alone allow Jews to establish a Jewish state.
Canada is a wonderful country, but even Canada refused.
It was 1939 and 907 Jewish refugees aboard the German transatlantic liner St. Louis were seeking sanctuary from Nazi Germany. Canada refused to take them in and the ship sailed back to Europe, where 254 would later die in concentration camps.  
My country, the USA, also turned them away.
Six million were murdered, but a few hundred thousand survived.  The survivors were locked up in displaced persons camps.  They were told to return to their own countries, but when they tried, they were murdered.  On July 4, 1946, during the Kielce incident, a mob of Polish soldiers, police officers, and civilians murdered at least 42 Jews and injured over 40.
