We will, if this goes through. We know why CA is broke, this will fix it, somewhat. Sorry about the ping. I should have known you'd be on this thread ;)
It probably will be but it'll come down to being what's the lesser of two evils: that or massive budget deficits caused by illegal aliens.
Good luck! How about we use some of the several billion a year it costs us not to patrol the border?
"Sorry about the ping. I should have known you'd be on this thread ;)"
No problemo...
"We will, if this goes through"
Hope springs eternal...
Parts of Riverside County now look like Tijuana Mexico. I'm glad this guy has noticed that.
They should pay for this and for the failing hospitals by enforcing the laws and raising the fines on illegal employers.
"Either post the California National Guard on the border, or seed the border with a few million "bouncing betty" anti-personnel landmines and the border will be secure."
The state of California's control over the national guard is pretty limited. They National Guard can be called upon by the governor in certin situations, but they are a federal entity not a state entity.
The state has no standing army. All they have are the state police, or if their laws provide for it, they could have a state militia.
I'd like to see someone seriously suggest activating a state militia in CA just to see the liberal scream in horror.
well we all know what the tab is...
nine billion a year for California...
Vs. what?....the illegal immigration bureaucracy that's full of social workers, welfare workers, gang intervention units, prison guards, bilingual teachers, emergency room doctors, etc. I would think that given a choice we'd be far better off with a state border patrol agency than all the other nonsense we're paying through the nose for right now.
True. Even if the Governor were to do the right thing and deploy the California National Guard to the Mexican border, the president could simply federalize them and sent them right back to their barracks.
The state has no standing army. All they have are the state police, or if their laws provide for it, they could have a state militia.
Actually, we do have a small, virtually unknown California State Military Reserve, primarily a land force but also with an air component, and plans to even add a naval militia.
They should consider a huge tax on spray paint and wifebeater t-shirts.
If this thread don't get pulled, it will suprise me.

Thanks for the information, I was unaware of that.

Hey SoFo... this is good news, huh?
I'll vote for it.
A good idea, but, it has a snowball's chance.
