I say send in federal officers and arrest those public officials ordering non-compliance.

If the state of California insists on harboring unknown illegal aliens and possible terrorists, the federal government should immediately suspend all air travel for anyone with California identification, implement checkpoints at all major highways that cross its state line, and completely shutdown all secondary roadways in and out of the state until this is resolved - then send the state governor the bill.

[MagillaX]

I hope they do and good luck to them finding federal judges willing to relinquish their power to a state.

[Ray76]

Oh yeah? Water and electricity from the Colorado River... POOF gone. Have a nice day.

[snarkytart]

I say we cut off all the food and energy that comes from outside of CA.

[ilovesarah2012]

hahaha
California is just as broke as the federal government.

[Montaignes Cat]

I think non-Hispanic residents of California get to vote in Mexican elections.

[JudgemAll]

Cut off the food stamps to CA!

[MountainWalker]

This is good news. If they stop paying taxes they’ve officially seceeded and the rest of the States could vote to kick them out of the union regardless of the calexit vote.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

I say "find" them personally, legally liable for any crimes or damage caused by illegal aliens. Wrongful death, etc.

Or sue them in Federal Court and force legal compliance or suffer the consequences.

[ExSES]

Hey Dudes..., remember 1861? At least your "Secession" will be only a few weeks in length!

[Lorianne]

Cities should not be getting Federal money in the first place. They should be self sufficient.

[Cobra64]

Absolutely. Hopefully we have enough Federal Marshals personnel to arrest these criminals.

[Libertynotfree]

Cut off all the funding to high speed rail
And all other funding.

[WKUHilltopper]

Again, just like in history, democrats trying to start a civil war.

[Senator_Blutarski]

So California thinks they can break the law and if we object they’ll break some more laws?

Yes. Set an example. Genghis Khan. Treason. Prison.

That is exACTLEEEE what needs to be done and it should have been done on day one. Send in the Feds and arrest about 20 or 30 heads of cities counties and States. Charge them with terrorism and a hundred other things.
When the rest see that they will dig the new situation in town. A couple of days in with the inmates and they will come out singing a different tune.

Our laws are being broken by these individuals and they are helping and abetting these criminals by the thousands. Trump should not let them play politics with him. HAMMER TIME.

[Lazamataz]

I've given this some thought.

The left is looking for a President Trump overreaction.

Sending in troops or Federal Marshals is EXACTLY what they want. Then they can claim Trump is a fascist Hitler.

The response should be more nuanced.

Right now, Trump is cutting of Federal money to sanctuary cities, only. California threatens a tax revolt. In response to a tax revolt, the counterattack should be multipronged:

1. Suspension of ALL Federal monies to the entire state of California.
2. Initiation of lawsuits that will eventually end up at the SCOTUS.
3. Suspension of water from Lake Meade<
4. Seizure of California state property under a tax lien.

Those should bring California to their senses.

[longsufferingjetsfan]

It’s not even all of California that wants this, it’s just that thin strip of compacted lunacy near the coasts. 4.4 million Californians voted for Trump. There is a lot of Trump support there.

San Mateo County, Sonoma, Marin, LA County...ok they’re hopeless. But that’s the only part that needs to go.

[Chaguito]

Precisely — get the legalities in place, then go all Mississippi on them.
