California Wants to Secede? Let's Help Them!

California is a part of America. But it’s no longer American. It is a foreign state. It is a fugitive state. The U.S. Constitution and the rule of law no longer apply in California. Call it, “The People’s Socialist Republic of California.” It’s a state without a country. But it’s certainly no longer American in any way.

Liberals in California want to secede. They are trying to put it on the ballot. They call it “Calexit.” I say, “Glory Hallelujah." Let’s help make it happen. I propose 63 million Trump voters join the team. Let's work 24/7 to turn their dream into a reality!

Millions of illegal aliens live in California; drive in California with official state-issued drivers’ licenses; and of course, use those licenses to vote in California. Millions. That’s precisely how Hillary won California by over 4 million votes.

California supports illegal aliens over legal, law-abiding American citizens. They support illegals getting free college tuition, while children of native-born Americans pay full fare. They support illegals over police and ICE. Many liberals in California want to abolish ICE. They want no borders and no immigration law.

The Attorney General of California has warned any business owner who cooperates with ICE will face prosecution by the state of California. You heard correctly. California will put the business owner in prison, for cooperating with federal law, to protect the criminal breaking the law.

The Mayor of Oakland famously played Paul Revere to warn illegal felons “ICE is coming. ICE is coming.” The Feds report over 800 felons evaded arrest because of that stunt. How many legal, law-abiding, native-born Americans will be robbed, raped, or murdered in the coming weeks because of that act of sedition?

A California judge just sided with the ACLU and barred LA County from enforcing gang restrictions that dramatically lowered crime. California has once again sided with hoodlums and gang-bangers over the law-abiding taxpayers.

In Oakland, a coffee shop prohibits employees from serving police, in order to create a “safe space” for their customers. Californians hate and distrust police more than illegal felons and thugs who speak no English and wear gang tattoos. Really.

All of this is sheer madness. But California has taken it to a whole new level.

Just this week the California Senate appointed the first-ever illegal alien to an official statewide post. Lizbeth Mateo, a 33-year old illegal alien-turned-attorney, will serve on the official state committee that doles out money to illegals attending college. In California, illegals now decide how taxpayer money is spent.

President Trump loves to brand (see "Crooked Hillary"). Let’s brand California. It’s not a “Sanctuary State.” It’s a “Fugitive State.” It’s a place that chooses to let felons and fugitives run free. It’s a place where the rights of criminals are far more important than protecting legal, law-abiding American citizens who pay taxes. We are the second class citizens in California.

Here’s the way to fix the problem. Liberal Californians want to secede. I'm joining the movement. How about you?

Conservatives should beg California to secede. We should make it easy for them. We should help pay for it. Pass the hat. Every conservative should chip in $20. I’ll throw $1000 to get the ball rolling.

Just think of elections. Without California, Trump and all future Republican presidential candidates would win, without breaking a sweat. Without California, we’d easily win the popular vote. And we'd win the electoral vote by a landslide.

Next think of Congress. California has 53 House seats. Democrats lead 39-14, for a net gain of 25 seats. Send California packing and the GOP gains a 25 House seat lead. We would dominate the House for decades to come.

And of course, the GOP would gain an automatic two seats in the Senate through the subtraction of California. As it stands now, those two U.S. Senate seats are deep blue Democrat forever. But if California secedes a 51-49 GOP lead instantly moves to 51-47.

If 63 million Trump voters just gave an average of $20 each to the "Calexit movement" that’s over $1.2 billion dollars. That’s enough money to help California secede, with enough left over as a down payment on building a wall…

with California.

*ALL* of us genuine conservatives here need help. In great part thanks to REPUBLICAN President Bush opening the borders for invasion and demographic ‘reconquista’.

This is just stupid, California doesn't want to secede, some morons in California want to secede, just like some morons in Texas, South Carolina, The Cascadia Movement of Washington and Oregon, Hawaii, North and South Dakota, New Hampshire and Vermont want to secede.

But for some reason all anyone can remember is California, as if it has the only people in office that want to protect illegals.

The CA (medical shorthand for cancer) has already metastasized, unfortunately. You’d have to also cut out Nevada and parts of TX, AZ and NM as well. Not practical. Just enforce the damn law and let CA be the isolated rogue state it is. We can win without them.

West Virginia became a separate state, as a result of Virginia declaring secession for the US.

In 1859 California passed the Pico Act, requesting that Southern California be split off as a separate state. The governor signed the bill, and 75 percent of voters in Southern California voted for it as a referendum. Congress needed to approve the split. Because of the secession of Southern States, Congress did not vote on it.

Bring back California’s Pico Act, and declare that since Congress failed to vote on California’s wishes in 1859, Congress will now take up the Pico Act.

In the process, declare that since California has voted to ignore Federal Immigration Laws, and declared that anyone cooperating in the implementation of Federal Immigration laws will be arrested, the Legislature of the state of California is now in rebellion.

Amend the original Pico Act and use the amended version to split California up into multiple states, to include the State of Jefferson in Northern California.

Obama had no problem declaring that Arizona could not, on its own, enforce Federal Immigration law, and Arizona was ruled in violation of the Supremacy Clause.

So isn’t it true that California is in violation, since it refuses to enforce Federal Law, or cooperate with ICE in fulfilling their obligations under law?

Is not the state of California Legislature in rebellion?

Actually if California was prohibited from counting illegals in the US census, their representation in the House of Representative would plummet.

"Good idea, bad idea?"

The problem with California is arguably not California per se.

Consider that all roads of corruption in the federal and state governments lead to Congress imo.

More specifically, the Founding States were concerned about renegade states that could rise and possibly destabilize the whole Union, and gave the feds specific enumerated powers to deal with such states.

The problem with the referenced constitutional safeguards this. We're still stuck with a corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration, Congress having a track record for basically shrugging its shoulders with respect to renegade states like California and Illinois.

The remedy …

Patriots in all states can exercise their voting power to deal with California by giving Pres. Trump a new Congress that will not only support Trump's vision for MAGA, but actually do its job to keep the peace by making punitive laws to deal with radical state leaders.

Also, repealing the 17th Amendment would effectively secede all the states from the corrupt federal government imo. (Are you listening Gov. Brown?)

The 16th Amendment can disappear too.

Insights welcome.

Then divide what’s left into two states, Jefferson and Pacifica, both would be Red States.

Let’s do that.

I’d go for that, I’d vote to have them leave. But they must promise to keep everything Hollywood there, including their actors. Maybe some Californians would like it if they could secede from Taxafornia. I’d even throw in Arnold to keep him in Taxafornia.

Well, your reference to “refugees” kinda pissed me off; if situations were reversed I’d welcome every Constitution revering American and their arsenal (amazing how I recovered my stuff after that boating accident before I left, eh?). Going to fight the fight here, because not all of my family can leave, it’s not like picking up a kid or three and moving to unoccupied America.

It *WAS* a Republican president that let the camel get it’s nose under the tent, once we had this horde voting of course they voted in moonbeam and the agents of the Reconquista.
