What happens to those in California who want to remain in the union??

Would those who want to stay in the USA be compelled to move to another state?

What about all the military installations in California? Who would own them and operate them?

what about citizenship? Would everyone in Calif. be a citizen of California only, and lose American citizenship?

What about California’s share of the national debt? Would the new People’s Republic of California cut a check to Uncle Sam for that amount?

What about (fill in the blank)? There are dozens of logistical and practical questions such as these, which would come up if a state were to secede from the union.

“What happens to those in California who want to remain in the union??”

Same thing that will happen to anti-Brexit folks, and the same thing that happened to the 40% of the colonists that did not want to leave the King.

“Would those who want to stay in the USA be compelled to move to another state?”

No, they would have to move to the USA, at that point it will not be just another state, but another country.

“What about all the military installations in California? Who would own them and operate them?”

Please see Cuba or the Philippines for your question.

“what about citizenship? Would everyone in Calif. be a citizen of California only, and lose American citizenship?”

Eligible for dual citizenship, which includes dual income tax liability, like now with Americans working in other countries.

“What about California’s share of the national debt? Would the new People’s Republic of California cut a check rUncle Sam for that amount?”

Send them a bill. Response taken into consideration when figuring their credit rating and exchange rate on trade.

Countries break away all the time, what happened to the former Soviet states? Or Bermuda, or _______ fill in the blank?

What National Debt? The US Congress contracted to borrow the paper from the private for profit bank. The way I figure it, we own them nothing. They shouldn’t have borrowed it, but I did not sign anything saying I was party to this contract.

What about the fact that California has more natural resources than almost any state in the union, not to mention it is the breadbasket of the world and has a thousand miles of prime coastline.

I simply cannot believe how many Freepers are silly enough to believe that if only California were gone, all of the country's problems would be solved. Guess what, people: your state is overwhelmed with left-wing nutbags, too. Those of you who live in what are considered conservative states should try to remember that your conservative majority probably doesn't exceed 55%, if that, which means that a few years of immigration or just brainwashing in the public schools and BAM, your state is now a left-wing crap hole like California. If you'll give up the fight for California, you'll give it up for the whole country.
