Calexit is a good both for Californians and Americans.
1) Federal Military Bases ?
The US military currently has plenty of military bases in foreign countries. Some US bases in England have been ‘ours’ for 75 years. It’s a straightforward negotiation.
2) Social Security & Federal Pensions ?
Plenty of Americans living overseas already collect SS & Federal Pensions. California independence would not change existing SS benefits that have already been earned.
3) Water ?
Water rights and allocation of the Colorado River are governed by agreements ( treaties ) between the states. No change here.
4) Electricity ?
Independent California would buy power from ‘foreign’
power companies under existing power purchase agreements. No change here. FYI - about 1/3 of New Englands power is currently imported from Canada
5) Citzenship ?
likely to be negotiated, but there are currently millions of US citizens that hold dual citizenship. A non-issue.
When one closely examines Calexit, the deal breakers are mostly red herrings
That last one would be a deal-breaker for me: I regard dual citizenship as an atrocity.
Anyone opting for CA should be stripped of his U.S. citizenship.
Regards,
Absolutely no dual citizenship. We do not want them voting in our elections, otherwise what’s the point?
