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?
And the rest of the U.S. has to fund the government and service social security and the debt without money from California, support the war without a good part of the Pacific fleet or a big chunk of the air force, and the western U.S. is forced to pay higher prices for goods because California says so, or face a cut off of those goods altogether. How fair is that to the people who aren’t leaving?
