First there was Calexit. Then came Calexit II. On Thursday, people unhappy with California’s place in the United States filed yet another proposed ballot measure that could lead to the Golden State striking out on its own. This time, the goal is convening a U.S. constitutional convention to overhaul what proponents call a moldy national blueprint out of step with life in California......To Read More...
My Take - The video is mildly interesting, but it's wrong when it states no state ever legally ceceded from the United States. The Southern states cecession was absolutely legal at the time.
But back to the point - if they want to leave - good!
At that point they become a foreign power, and we have no obligation to finacially support the state or pay anything to their citizens, including Social Security. This action then becomes a tacit admission the northern counties of California can cecede from California.
What's left will be a fourth rate foreign power on our border. All the manufacturing they do there will have to move, their agriculture will collapse because of their green initiatives, the illegal immigrants will surge into this new nation and take it over turning it into Mexico, and they will face absolute bankruptcy.
At that point the U.S. can decide their actions are a national threat and invade California, conquer it in 24 hours, dismiss the government, including the bureaucracies, create a military authority to run the state, devide the state into three territories with a territorial governor appointed by the President of the United States in each territory with no Congressional representation - voting or non-voting - and confiscate all state property for public sale to pay for the invasion and the cost of occupation.
Any protests will be viewed as treason and terrorism and all protesters will be jailed as felons, in a California jail with no pardons. They love leftism so much maybe they could use a dose of it. So if California want's to leave - let me hold the door.
