I hadn't heard about that before. That was in a different era, when concepts such as States' rights were in vogue and political correctness hadn't been invented yet. This was before the ACLU and other hysterical leftists and Commies masquerading as 'compassionate' people started strangling America to death.. "sigh"

Call Marshall Dillion. Maybe its time to do that in reverse. We could seal the borders of CA and keep anyone from getting out.

Sealing San Francisco would be a good first step. It could be done on the grounds of a public health quarantine.

I'm very happy that we have you as FR's Deputy Sherriff, Festus!

You, Marshall Dillon and a good posse could do far more for sealing America's borders than the Feds have been able to up to this point, I'll wager.

Back in the '30s the Mayors of at least one and possibly more CA city sent their police to the CA state border and began forcibly turning back people from other US states trying to move to CA. (This is true BTW)

To the comments I made on the great depression. I dug out my book by T.H. Watkins ( not exactly a conservative author ) to find the bit about CA and the border.

When the dustbowl hit large numbers of american citizens began migrating to CA because it was more prosperous and also had a better welfare system. A lot of them headed to LA and it was the LAPD Chief, James E. Davis, who in Feb of '36 sent 125 LAPD members to the borders of AZ and OR to keep out the transients. This border area was 800 miles long give or take.

But I found another gem about how the LA, Chicago and Detroit cities were having large illegal immigration problems as well at the time. The feds solved it by starting large scale deportations. The reason was to save $$ on the state treasuries due to welfare and other relief work. The fact that they mostly all came back was laughed about in the day as giving them all a state paid vacation back home for the holidays. ;-) The first set shipped out in '31.
