So if California's legislature Rat majority up and "seceded", Livermore Labs, Vandenberg and Edwards AFB, JPL, Camp Pendleton, Fort Ord, San Diego Naval station, and the bulk of our advanced military technology belong to Mexico?

Dang. Just like that -- from 3rd world nation to Nuclear Super Power.
