I was thinking along the lines of actually becoming a military threat or a conduit for foreign interests like Cuba was during the Cold War. It could play host to Chinese troops in the future, host missiles, etc., like Cuba did with Russia. For obvious reasons it'd also tend to side with Mexico.

It can't happen without a change in the constitution requiring a 2/3 state vote. Or something like that. I live in Ca., in the conservative northern half. We just want our state of Jefferson.

Yes, and then we should clone Sherman and let him lose in San Diego and tell him not to stop until he hits Oregon.

The next Sherman may be from Dixie too. One of history's great ironies.

But if California secedes I could see a scenario where large numbers of Mexicans get driven out of America as the US military advances.

In short the ideal is to keep California and lose the invaders. There would be no issue without them. California used to be the land of Nixon and Reagan.

I like the hypothetical war scenario where the US retakes it and colonists leave, but if let go, losing California would result in the border DOUBLING in size.
