Calexit Proponent: We're Exporting Middle Class To Make Room For Next "Wave" Of Immigrants (tr)
RCP video ^ | 8-1-2017 | Ian Schwartz

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.

Tucker Carlson's shtick (and expressions) having nobody's on is getting old already.

The only time he's worth watching, in my opinion, is when he has Mark Steyn on.

The Calexit leader exposes himself and the movement as truly and anti-American movement. Let the majority of Californian’s vote for Calexit & it’s legislature agree to it. Then we can declare the state in rebellion, declare it’s former state Constitution dead, remove it’s government, and reform it by decree. After a time the residents of California will enjoy the benefits of the old government being gone, and be ready to elect a good government of their own.

The article you cited makes it sound like US needs CA as much if not more than CA needs US, and that any attempt by Trump to cut federal funding wouldn’t really work...

I support CalExit with one condition: existing US Citizens must renounce one or the other nations and new “Kalifornians” will NOT be US Citizens.

The idea that it could possibly be desirable to replace your rooted citizens with people with a different history, different cultural values & preferences, different lines of descent; springs from the same politically correct lunacy, that we elected Donald Trump to reverse.

We need to stop treating it as just naive. It is a repudiation of the whole historic experiences of Mankind. It should be challenged whenever & wherever it raises its ugly head.

Just looking at the politics, I think national Democrats would be against this.

Trump would have won the election easily, if you back out the popular vote and electoral votes from California. Democrats at the national level need California to be competitive in presidential elections.

this is sort of funny. Leftist types are the ones pushing this Cal Exit thing, but other leftists such as national Democrats have to be strongly against a liberal bastion leaving the union.

I would not be opposed either and they can take Portland and Seattle as well. The left would never win another national election.

And the left vs right rift is getting so bad that a divorce may actually be a good thing.

If California did secede, then what would their residents do for a living? At least temporarily, they would see a massive exodus of “US” companies.

Since the new nation would be based upon a form of Socialism/Communism, the cost of running this new nation would be quite high, while the income quite low?

Ok, so then they could do a “wealth tax” on their citizens right? But their assets, much of it Californian real estate, would have plummeted in value? Besides, the folks being disproportionately taxed may decide to leave to the...USA.

I think the chance of Calexit is less than 1%, but it could happen. If it did, California would probably be a country with some folks very wealthy, a small middle class, but a huge lower class/dependent group. California would wind up resembling ....? Venezuela? Cuba?

Yeah, didn’t Pol Pot do the exact same thing by systematically eliminating the middle class and intellectuals? You know, killing those who wore glasses.

Inside every single leftist is ruthless fascist yearning to fulfill his real desire.

Recommendation for your map—a little fine tuning.

Eastern WA and Oregon should be on the US side of the line for sure.

Part of central and eastern CA should be there as well.

Build a continuous military base along the border.
