The physical state of California is one of, if not the most valuable pieces of real estate on this planet. Perfect climates, sea access, so many natural resources right under her feet. The problem is the inhabitants that have taken over.
WE need to take over.
To deprive California of every single federal penny that they receive in violation of the law. To deprive them of every single vote in violation of the law. To deprive them of every single paycheck (and remittance) that violates our law. If we get a filibuster proof majority, we need to repeal Plyler in Congress, which should have been done about 90 seconds after SCOTUS ruled on it.
Ninety percent of the problems with California are due to selective federal law enforcement and inaction by the Congress.
WE need to take over.
Amen to that.
respectfully disagree - I spend a heck of a lot of time in California. Grew up here, plenty of school friends still here.
California is very different than the rest of the country. So much different that it might as well be a foreign country. Its too foreign to revert back to the old days, even Orange County is extreme liberal these days.
As long as California remains part of the Union, there will always be a huge tension between the sensibilities of the rest of the country and California. Let them go, and the rest of the country will be able to choose its own path with consensus
