With secession threats looming, the state of California is reportedly studying ways to suspend financial transfers to Washington after the Trump administration threatened to withhold federal money from sanctuary cities.

With California counties among the Top 10 who stand to lose tax-payer funding for providing sanctuary to illegal immigrants...

KPIX5 reports that officials are looking for money that flows through Sacramento to the federal government that could be used to offset the potential loss of billions of dollars’ worth of federal funds if President Trump makes good on his threat to punish cities and states that don’t cooperate with federal agents’ requests to turn over undocumented immigrants, a senior government source in Sacramento said.

The federal funds pay for a variety of state and local programs from law enforcement to homeless shelters.

If they want succesion then a county by county vote needs to set the boundaries between the USA and Mexiafagafornia. I don’t want anyone kept in the Republic by force.

How about restricting Colorado River water? They are not a net exporter of water are they now?

How about electricity from the Western Area Power Administration and the Bonneville Power Administration? California is not a net exporter of electricity are they?

Two can play at this game and California will loose.

How many times has a group been attacked and arrested when it was a group right of center who wanted to pull this.

I think some of them are still in Prison.

If the state of California insists on harboring unknown illegal aliens and possible terrorists, the federal government should immediately suspend all air travel for anyone with California identification, implement checkpoints at all major highways that cross its state line, and completely shutdown all secondary roadways in and out of the state until this is resolved - then send the state governor the bill.

If it comes to that, then many Californians will come to their senses

It sure ain’t worth protecting illegals over that

I think non-Hispanic residents of California get to vote in Mexican elections.

[ilovesarah2012]

No, let them secede. Please. And take Oregon and Washington with them.

[ilovesarah2012]

We won’t lose next time.

They have Mexico. They’ll be fine.

Cut off the food stamps to CA!

[MountainWalker]

This is good news. If they stop paying taxes they’ve officially seceeded and the rest of the States could vote to kick them out of the union regardless of the calexit vote.
