#1 Yes but what they don't get is once out, we declare war, invade and subjugate with extreme extreme prejudice. Then we can we repop with humans. We'll give normals a year to get out of there first.

#2 I'd be more inclined to let them leave, then suck up all the water from their river supplies (Colorado, Klamath, etc.), then open up 'renegotiations'. Same difference, really.

#3 California secessionists have what may be a tempting proposal for the red states: Help the Golden State secede by voting to kick it out of the union.

Do it by amendment to the Constitution. Apply by having your Congressional delegation submit the appropriate paperwork.

#4 But you don't want to get rid of all of California - just the coastal enclaves, right?

#5 I'd still prefer to return the state to Mexico (together with its population) and call it square with La Raza. After we level the military bases - and complete a wall around the state

Depends upon how they present it to Congress and how Congress acts on it. Could be like the partition of Ireland. Let the counties vote which probably will be the coasties north of San Diego along the coast north through the bay area.

#7 The right of secession was argued often prior to 1861. Some argued secession was a constitutional right; others argued there was a natural right of revolution. Either way, these arguments led to the Civil war which didn't go so well for either side.

#8 Incidentally, re coastal enclaves IT Moguls - what will happen to their patents if USA doesn't defend them?

#9 We'll give normals a year to get out of there first.

Thanks for that.

But, seriously, you guys don't want to lose San Diego Bay or Alameda in San Francisco Bay because of the impact that would have on your Pacific Fleet. Although it may be tempting to cut us loose, be advised that the next steps would be that you would lose Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Colorado. Better to secure our border with Mexico as it now stands. The loonies in the coastal enclaves would be nothing without their ~~slaves~~ Mexicans to mow their lawns, wash their cars and clean their homes. Deport the illegals and you may find a few more Republican congress critters coming from California.

#10 California leaves the union and Oregon and Washington will soon follow.

#11 Let's give the area from LA to SF to Mexico as payment for the wall.

#12 The military in San Diego County alone is larger than most countries
