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.

Are people this ignorant?.
A democrat can sell anything to the idiots they are clueless to what is normal they are lazy and stupid they never learn the media loves them.
Then, there is the other side of the ledger.
The 49 other states won't release CA until they pay their share of $20T in the national debt accumulated over the years, and doubled in the last 8. I'd be surprised if it were anything under $1T.
Much of central and eastern California is very conservative and would take their opportunity to exit California, during the upheaval.
Better to stay in California!
Well, at least they are saying their intentions out loud. Seriously, they want to get rid of the HVAC, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, masons, and other trade and office jobs that make up the Middle Class, are they effing stupid? There was a nation that brought in tons of foreigners in to do its work, it was the Roman Empire, and we all know how that turned out.
California needs to change its name to the “La Raza Socialist State of America”. If they took a vote tomorrow, the majority of voters (legal and illegal) would vote for it.
Not to mention not understanding or remembering history... can you say Appomattox, Gettysburg, Vicksburg or Bull Run?
CA is writing checks its butt can’t cash.
Pathetic.
I like "Venezuelia."
All of the Hollywood elite would be relegated to the Foreign Film category at the Academy Awards!

“Are people this ignorant?”
Not just that ignorant, but that stupid, seriously stupid.
1) California won’t leave, but. . .
2) If California leaves it dooms the Democratic Party - which California generally supports.
3) If California leaves, it will split into two countries or at least Jefferson (Eastern California) will stay with the Union.
4) Secession, means NO Federal money for highways, mass transit, water development, electricity development, law enforcement, Social Security, welfare, etc. The state effectively would be poor within a heartbeat. They already have something like 95 billion in unfunded liabilities. No, wait, I just checked and it’s gone up 22% in the last year to a staggering $279 billion!!!!!!! http://www.breitbart.com/california/2017/05/15/gov-brown-california-pension-liability-skyrockets-by-22/
Oh, and then there’s the REAL potential for a shooting civil war over all of this. Who gets California’s military bases? Who gets to enforce border security? Who controls the coastline and islands? Who enforces maritime laws? Who gets all of that federal property (bases, court houses, training centers, etc.)?
It would be a huge disaster.
There are still some checkpoints...on the northern border.
Best I have read it explained in quite awhile, thank you.
And it is, it is an obsessive cult of the highest magnitude.
A Ca liberal can start a cause and political action out of how someone uses a microwave or coffeepot, even if it’s not their microwave or coffeepot.
Let them exit, then roll in the tanks.
ABC Television Networks would become foreign-owned, as The Walt Disney Company (Burbank, CA) would now be headquartered in a foreign country.
The FCC would probably require Disney to divest ABC, or Disney itself would likely reincorporate in another state.

Some one needs to ask this Calexit leader Shankar Singam one serious question -
What is their plan for those Middle Class and Irredeemables who refuse to ‘make room’ for their next wave of immigrants.
I’d wager that Shankar Singam isn’t a U.S. citizen.
