Taking away the ports in California would hurt the entire country you imbecile.

Let's dive into this. Yes, it would absolutely hurt the rest of the country because it would take years to build up infrastructure on the east coast, Gulf of America and on the northwest coast to make up for the loss, but the ports become useless to CA if they cant ship out of the state.

The military accounts for 5% of the states economy and real estate is 18% of the GDP. Who's going to move to the country of CA when they are cut off from all things U.S.?

I wholeheartedly disagree that this is the same concept.

Well watch how many times people call me a Democrat or assume I'm pro-illegal immigration for talking about their reactions to the riots exclusively. You'll see that same pattern over and over.

You just didn't like it because you're trying to make the scenario in OP bigger than what it is.

How much of that is propped up by the US military or major US companies that would move their HQ back to America.


This.

It would also be quite a messy divorce, both internally in Cali and with the US. Number 1, most of those red counties would just go the "State of Jefferson" route, leaving a very thin California. I'm also quite sure the US would demand some coastline for the Navy.

What a melt

If California's GDP mythically dropped by half, it would be around Russia (and still bigger than Mexico, so explain how Mexico could afford to buy California)

Again, your "acktually" had no merit to the actual conversation.

Point is, the plan is fricking stupid and we're seeing it play out in real time.

See, y'all always have to pivot on the actual argument and change what's being discussed.

You forgot Orange County. There are plenty of conservatives in that area. as well as the areas I like Calabash and Pasadena and Santa Monica / Culver City.. If you ever got off your fishing boat and traveled beyond the dock you would know. However California conservatives are not reactionary conservatives like yourself. For starters, unlike you they are not..............STUPID!

Did you feel the same about the J6 protesters? Well if they haven’t committed any other crimes before blah blah blah. Or remember “no one is above the law” we have heard that for about 10 years. That doesn’t mean everyone to you??

Oh, NOW you respond.

It might drop by more than that without the full faith and backing of the USA, ya think? They can't build a train, they can't clean up or rebuild the Palisades, they can't manage water (doesn't some of their flow come from other states?) They can't/won't do shite.

Not for an unserious pot-stirring ignoramous like you... some people here can think more clearly of cause and effect.

Because it's California. A lot of states would welcome crackdowns as managing immigration is a federal issue and in a lot of very important ways, States' hands are tied.

Yes, and the specific admin policies on those laws can lead to reactions by state and local governments, scholar.

The example in OP is an example of such a reaction. There is no law mandating localities or state prison systems help the feds. That's why these relationships are contractual and not statutory. There is nothing illegal or improper with a state/locality making a contractual decision within their rights to show approval (or disapproval) of fed policy.

As I said earlier, there may be a larger plan because the feds may not be able to execute this policy without the help of these state/local facilities.

Shhh....he's on a roll. In his element, probably jerking off to every post he's making in his perceived bubble of moral and intellectual superiority.
