If you followed you line of thinking to its logical conclusion America would end up being two or three landlocked states in the middle of the country.

If you let California go how long do you think America can hold Washington an Oregon? How long will be America hold Arizona, Texas, or New York? The question of secession was raised and replied to in the Civil War. California is part of the United States and any Californian or illegal alien who doesn't think so and fights to secede should be hunted down and hung as a traitor or enemy agent.

You ever studied geography? Florida, the entire east coastline up up to Virginia? The gulf states? You forget they have seas too?

I say isolate them and let them survive on their own and have to deal with us as another country. It won’t be long before we start getting some super-ports in the gulf and other places.

BTW, secession was the Union’s interpretation of a rebellion. It was not the interpretation of dealing with a region that freely joined a union without expectation that they could NEVER decide to leave. That concept of permanent entanglement is just as bad as slavery.

Secession is as basic a human right as joining a union. Secession is full of more issues than joining, but it should be allowed for a free people in a geographic area.

Secession is a signicant check on Federal power, which, as Obama is proving, can go otherwise unchecked.

For example, if Hillary and Soros somehow stole this election next month, how would you feel about it?

With California's pro illegal immigration 55 electoral votes gone, we stand a much better chance of keeping the remaining 49 states.
