Calexit leader Shankar Singam appeared on Tuesday's broadcast of Tucker Carlson Tonight to promote the secession of California from the union. Singam said California doesn't have much in common with the rest of the country. He declared, "This is California. We're not the United States."
The Calexit proponent also said it is a "good thing" that the middle class is fleeing the state because it will make room for the "new wave" of immigrants. Singam told Carlson that "the United States" should be thanking "us" for "exporting" the state's middle class to the rest of the country.
"If everyone in the middle class is leaving, that's actually a good thing. We need these spots opened up for the new wave of immigrants to come up. It's what we do," Singam told Carlson.

I’ll be standin’ on the border, handin’ out donuts, when they cut that star out of the flag! What an answer to a thousand prayers!
Worst part? If this is the same dude I’m thinking of, he’s a dual citizen. US and UK.
Matthew 6:24.
Is Shankar Singam also an Illegal ?
They was funny.
This Calexit stuff is funny. It’s thrown out there without any analysis of the real challenges, like:
- The U.S. would likely withdraw their military bases, a huge economic impact.
- California has unsustainable debt which the U.S. will no longer protect or guarantee.
- Most large corporations there are U.S. based, with the bulk of their business sales and operations in the rest of the states. Many of those companies would have to relocate to the U.S. or face additional tax and import burdens.
- The numbers of poor and socially-supported people are unsustainable.
- They don’t have enough power to support their state/country, nor the resources to make it.
- The don’t have enough water to support their state/country, nor the resources to draw it.
- The population is engaging in their own “Calexit”, by moving in vast numbers out of the state. These are productive middle class citizens and fed-up wealthy folks. The exodus in unsustainable and would require California to open their borders to immigration even more, creating an even greater burden on their social systems.
These are serious gaps in their plans, which don’t seem to rise to the level of discussion, even in these silly interviews. Calexit would be a disaster for California, and would be an amusing collapse to watch.
“Maybe we need a border wall with California?!”
When I was a child there were checkpoints at every road that entered California.
They were looking for fruit and would confiscate any fruit deemed harmful to California crops.
Now the the checkpoints are gone and the state is peopled with ‘fruits’ (FReepers like Jim Rob know I mean no offense to them).
>>>> Calexit would be a disaster for California, and would be an amusing collapse to watch.
NOT so amusing when there is bound to be a YUGE flood of ‘refugees’.........
“depot = deport.”
Well, “depoting” those potheads would work for the CA legislature, who are most certainly all taken from the Idiocracy movie.
Ok... so basically Cali wants to become a slave state and secede from the Union, by exporting the middle class and importing cheap labor to serve the rich. How progressive, what could go wrong?
Remember when Texans were depicted as a bunch of tooth-flicking redneck hayseeds for suggesting this when Obama was President?
We need a refund, LOL
Truth be told, it boils down to: If the middle class won’t vote liberal, then we will import people who will! Liberty be damned!
“I suggest they get rid of any of the conservatives that still live there”
That’s not how they operate. These people are evangelicals. They’re goal is to impose their Sharia Liberalism by any means necessary. They are exporting their revolution to your town hall and your local school board. They’re exporting their revolution to your classroom and your child care. Tucker laughed at the guy, but he’s totally serious. If you listen carefully, you’ll hear him tell us exactly what they’re doing. And he’s laughing about it because he doesn’t think we’re taking him seriously. That is a big victory for him. He’s telling us exactly what they’re doing. That’s what tyrants do. Invariably they always telegraph their intentions prior or during the execution of their actions. They’re exporting their excess voting base outbound to YOUR City, County and Town governments. They’re Carpetbaggers, and they’re coming in your direction.
The internal message is that CA, and IL for that matter, pay much more in taxes to the fedgov than they receive. One guy I know says that CA is the only reason the South has roads, since all the poor hicks are on welfare and meth.
I don’t correct him. Want him to stay in CA>
I saw most of this interview last night. This guy's brain is not firing on all synapses. He sounded so naive about the unintended consequences and difficulty is separating from the US.
Tucker asked him why the US would allow one of it's states to leave without a military effort to keep it. He claimed everyone hated Kalifornia so why would the US care?
Tucker replied something to the effect that because most of California is owned by the federal government. Only the big, population centers along the coast are liberal. Most of the rest of the state is much more conservative.
Isn't Kalifornia already tens of billions of dollars in debt and digging themselves deeper, with no way out? Makes good sense to get rid of them.
Anyway, this liberal idiot sounded brain-dead most of the interview. But then I repeat myself.
Here in Sutter County, we have a yuge East Indian population. Mostly Sikhs.
They have a two-day gatherin every November that draws more than 250,000 Sikhs to this area.
Don't know which false god Shankar worships but, like any people group, you got the grateful and you got ingrates.
Methinks Shankar is an ingrate.
