Draw a border of north and south right about at Vallejo all the way to Sacramento then to Truckee. Let the liberals keep SF and south of that.

This map shows one possibility. Let the leftists have the coastal region shown in fusia pink (appropriate) on this map and that's it. We keep the rest but we break it down into smaller states so it never gets its panties in a bunch about exiting again.

By keeping the Southern Division which includes L.A. we isolate that area so it can be controlled then weed out the illegals in all the smaller states it becomes. End of the California problem.

Here's the kicker though. We don't let the coastal division leave completely; we make it a territory so it can't join with another country without first getting our permission which we would never give because it would leave us vulnerable on that section of coastline. You just know it will either want to join with Mexico or Mexico will make it but not if it's still a US territory.

Then, in a hundred years or so, we take Mexico and make it a provisional country that does not have US citizenship but is protected by our armed forces. Then after another 100 years or so and it is brought up to US standards we can make it a full territory because there will be no reason to migrate north for work but there will be reason for US citizens in the north to migrate south for various reasons including retirement in the warm climate.

That's what I call a Win, Win, Win. :)
