It’s a topic that hasn’t been brought up by Congress, but can’t we give California back to Mexico?
Tourism in California would still continue. Perhaps the attraction to emmigrating to California (an entitlement mentality - too many people going there looking for the proverbial something for nothing) may evaporate once California is no longer subsidized by the American taxpayer.
Of course, anytime a state offers “free” goodies paid for by someone else it’s going to attract a lot of leaches.
What you guys think of that idea?
States succeeding from the Union is a good idea and it’s Constitutionally valid.
California could succeed from the Union and become an independent republic or it could “join” Mexico.

Hi Woim, I think California has no free will and it has already (albeit,not officialy) left the Union by virtue of the fact that Mexico has taken the state over. I think the USA will eventually send it foreign aid when its social and economic infrastructure collapses - which is inevitable and should happen soon. By the way, I don’t think many Americans realize that Madison and Jefferson in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798-99 (authored secretly) said that the states could override Congress! And this was a decade AFTER the Constitution was ratified! I think this is the kind of states’ rights you may be referring to. Right?
