Give them a few years. One day there'll be
a Proposition on the ballot which the population
will overwhelmingly approve: Cede California
to Mexico!
OK, OK, let's compromise. Mexico gets San Francisco and LA and Berserkely and Santa Monica. We keep the rest of the state. California was getting too big for its britches anyway. I cannot imagine Boxer or Feinstein getting elected in a California shorn of LA and SF. Ahhhnold will find it much easier to ram through his reforms until he is defeated in a primary by B-i Bob Dornan (now tanned, rested and ready) whereupon the Reagan revolution will resume in what remains. The Demonratic Congressional seats in LA, SF, Berserkely, and Santa Monica will have to redistributed nationally, causing the opportunity for Texas style interim reapportionment which can add additional GOP seats and a shift of seats to largely GOP Sunbelt states. Of course, there will have to be a redistricting of California as well.
If we get the compromise on the ballot now and get it passed, then think how much more conservative the remainder of California will be and how much less likely it will be that the remainder of California will wind up in Mexico. Now, although I am not enthusiastic for an Iron Curtain on the Rio Grande, I would enthusiastically support Iron Curtains around LA, SF, Berserkly and Santa Monica to protect the US from the re-entry into the US of leftist residents of such communities. As Ed Koch might say, they have misbehaved and they will have to be punished.
