OK, how about this scenario. Say California announces they're secession. The walk away from the Union asking nothing in return. They seize all military bases, Navy ships in San Diego, all airplanes, all tanks, etc. They announce they're withdrawing from the war in Iraq and demand the return of all California National Guard troops over there. They also announce that they're not responsible for any part of the national debt or social security obligations. Finally, they announce that goods destined for the U.S. are free to be landed in California ports, for a "small" tariff fee. What does the U.S do in response?
Well, for starters, their citizens no longer recieve benefits from the federal government. They have to take care of their own illegal problem. We don’t interfere in anything they chose to do. But we don’t give them anything. They have to support their own country and citizens. Let them withdraw their troops from Iraq. We don’t need them. Besides, when the Kalifornia troops come back, the ones who want to can leave Kalifornia and apply for citizenship in America and go back to Iraq if they want to. As far as them announcing they aren’t responsible for Social Security, etc. If a worker earned his/her SS while they were still an American citizen, then we pay it. But new workers coming of age get nothing from us. And the illegals are their problem. How long do you think Kalifornia would be able to stand? As far as the military bases, etc. , that would be their problem. How long before they would have to close for lack of funds from the feds?
nothing, let them go.
