Sure, just as soon as they let northeastern California secede from California.

Please, God, please let this happen! This means no Cali illegals could enter the USA without a passport.

Water is the big one. They leave and there would no longer be a reason to divert the Colorado River to quench LA’s thirst.

There is absolutely no benefit to Bear Flag Revolt and California becoming a Lone Star state once again.

The only argument I have ever heard was one of so called unique California culture or “This use to belong to Mexico” which it never did or technically in the least tangential way could have.

Besides bursting out that childish statement, what is the end goal?

Give it back to Mexico?

If Mexico were ever or is so great, why do so many people leave? With the help of their own government.

Being part of the Mexico union benefits only Mexico, as in their Federal government. The people will see no appreciable benefit to California becoming a part of Mexico.

Besides, the effect would be the largest wholesale migration east ward to other states as Americans leave a country that has only a 34% literacy rate and a per capita earnings of less than $10,000.

Those people will come demanding their Bene’s and there will not be enough to go around, crime will then skyrocket as Mexico celebrates getting its land back but, not realizing they are losing the real treasure, an educated, highly productive workforce and business people who create wealth and jobs.

This initiative is nothing more than feel good malapropism that will cost millions just to put on the ballot and ultimately has zero chance of succeeding...

Especially since they just dump so much fresh water into the ocean to save a snail or something.

We would have to build a fence to keep liberals from fleeing their handiwork.

Wish they would do it yet this year or in January. Donald is going to need more money from Mexico to make the wall a whole lot longer. Wonder how Pelousy and Boxer will vote. /s/

They’d never starve; they’re loaded with fruits and nuts!

Can’t wait for tariffs to enter in the US, repaid the ports, etc.
