The federal government (Interior, Forest Service, BLM, military, etc.) owns 45.3% of California. How are they going to resolve that issue?
If they get enough illegals to sign, this should be a cinch! ^_^
We are going to need a longer wall.
Most of California is till American.
The Bay area counties would likely become the Independent State of California Del Norte. For the sake of simplicity, well call it “Sodom”.
The La Basin and Valley areas would likely become the Mexican State of California Sud., a.k.a. “Gomorrah”.
They’ll have half a million signatures from south of the border by tomorrow morning.
Maybe they don’t teach Civil War history in California anymore. Probably triggers the poor little snowflakes.
... because they'll fall into anarchy in short order. Then, America can invade them, conquer them, change their constitution, make them a Federal territory run directly by Congress, convert their people to Christianity, and basically rub their noses in it for a hundred years, just like the Roundhead Yankees did to the South.
Not to mention whatever SSI money is due to illegals with stolen SSNs.
do they need volunteers?..I can free up my schedule...
wonder if California could take up a petition to throw LA and San Francisco out of the state?
Wasn’t there a movement to split the state? That would make more sense than secession.
Can I vote yes for them even though I don’t live there? I think they are on to a great thing for the rest of the country.
If California tries to secede, President Abraham Trump should declare it to be a "State in rebellion" and militarily occupy it. In 2020, the Occupied Territory of California would have zero electoral votes. Guaranteed Republican victory in that year's Presidential election.
Do they also have to be registered LEGAL American Citizens ?
I continue to believe this would be good for all concerned. California was once part of Mexico. Perhaps they would like to renew that relationship.
The big change would be the border Mexicans would cross to get to America.
We can just get a 1000 yr lease on the bases and move gitmo detainees there
There is precedent for this.
They vote to secede.
The President says you may not do so.
They attempt to take a federal installation, say, San Diego Naval base.
The rest of the Union declares the state in rebellion.
They are conquered, subjugated, and subject to federal military administration and reconstruction for years.
It could work.
Republicans have the most experience with this.
Thinking of this from the perspective of democrat party operatives, I say go for it. It will just make it harder for democrats to win elections.
The democrat party will not allow 55 electoral votes to just go away.
I say let it happen so we can watch when the democrat party, at the national and state level, stomps on the secession organizers necks to make sure this will not happen.
The California libs will splinter giving conservatives a chance to turn the state red, or at the very least, putting the state in play for future presidential elections.
LET California secede-PLEASE! They THINK they control the country- so let them BE one and then negotiate with the US for everything from water to oil. Once Mexico occupies them fully we can extend the wall northward to seal them all of in their imagined utopia.Their own transgendered army for defense, their own tax and economic system( everything free for everyone), Kumbaya as their anthem and Meryl Streep and Rosie O’Donnell as co- Presidents! Just think of all the implications! It would be sweeeeet!

You got in ahead of me.
Maybe there could be a Constitutional Amendment to the effect that Citizens have to be born in the United States, or resident for 70 years before they obtain voting rights.
