    California To Become A Sanctuary State

    Not satisfied with having sanctuary cities, CA wants to become a sanctuary state.

    They've introduced bills to their state legislature to make it official.

    One legislator said, on a radio program, that CA is the only state in a financial position to be able to do so and they are moving in that direction, in defiance to Trump's illegal immigration stance.

    I hope the state can manage to pay all the Federal welfare and subsidies that will dry up if this passes, otherwise a large group of people are going to be really pissed. (Of course, the Dims will have this anger directed at the Fed, not the state who put them in this situation.)

    All the Americans will move out, all the domestic enemies will move in, and a quake will break kali off the mainland so it floats away.

    I thought Commiefornia was broke with major financial problems. Guess they were just more false news and media lies.

    They're talking about it. They haven't done it yet.

    Personally I wanted to put out a big splash ad in the Sacramento Bee

    "Hey Liberal politicians. So you can just ignore the laws you don't like, right? How about all of us gun owners just IGNORE the stupid gun laws that we don't like. Same thing right?"

    Of course you know how that would be received by the fucking media.

    California still puts in MORE federal tax revenue to the Feds than they receive in Federal aid. That kinda sucks because that means that the threat of taking away federal funding doesn't mean that much and won't have the same impact on our fucking Sanctuary cities than they do in other states. California, despite the commie fuckers, still creates tons more wealth than most of the other states and thus they have the bankrolls to even consider this madness.

    The feds withholding funds to force compliance isn't unprecedented. I believe they did it with national speed limit, drinking age and bac for dui.

    But, if people stop buying California products, how long will they be able to stay in the black? As far as technology goes, China will be more than happy to step in and fill the void, and produce can be imported from overseas markets. I'm not sure how long CA could stay solvent....

    Economy isn't my best suit so I could be totally wrong on this.

    Oh yeah, what would Hollywood do if their movies were boycotted by the rest of the US and their actors started making less money?

    China is not an innovator, they're a manufacturer. Everything you're using to post on this forum right now, from Chips to processors to routers to memory to internet hubs, etc. etc. etc. were all CREATED in Silicon Valley. China won't be inventing anything new. It's always been (1) CAPITALISM in the past that drove innovation and (2) the fact that California USED to have top notch universities (not any more) but still Silicon valley cannot be replaced, at least not within a span of 10-20 years. There is TOO Much infrastructure here. You want 100 engineers? You just lure them away from ten or more businesses down the street. You don't have to hunt all over the nation or world to fill your top slots. Even outsiders, like foreign students and engineers still all flock here because the most challenging jobs (and highest pay) is still here.

    California IS on a road to ruin, but the nature of everything is that it is still a conglomeration of thousands of different businesses, networks, groups, individuals, etc. It takes time to set that up somewhere else.

    On the issue of tech, or food or resources .... you 'could' boycott the state and pay a LOT MORE MONEY to get it from somewhere else much farther away, but seriously? When has that type of economic protest ever worked? The entire reason China grew it's business empire to begin with was because TONS of Americans want to pay BOTTOM DOLLAR to places like Walmart, who then got ALL Their cheap goods from China. You can't convince people to spend MORE money as a general rule. It would have to be abject hatred (like NO American would have bought any goods put out by any of the AXIS powers during WW2), but we don't have a situation like that today.

    There ARE Californians who are mortified by the reckless lawlessness of the LEFTWING leaders.

    Unfortunately, they are too few to effect the changes needed out there.

    During Obama's presidency Arizona enacted a law to help the federal government enforce immigration laws. AZ was taken to SCOTUS by the government and lost because constitutionally immigration is the sole domain of the federal government. I have been waiting for this ruling to be used against "sanctuary" areas that refuse to enforce federal immigration law. It sounds like this is the basis for at least part of the DOJs recent law suit against CA. I hope it works.

    Remember that lovely Scene in the Movie, 2012? I was sitting there watching L.A. slide into the Ocean, and thinking all those Liberals are Dying! Sooner or later, the Fault, will go. CA. has become a Blight to our free way of Life. My Dad was stationed there from June, 1970 to July, 1973. (the Happy Years, ) I went back to CA. in June, 1985 to see my Brother who was stationed in San Diego. I had just come home from that horrible 3rd Armored Division in Germany. I saw in the 12 Years after we had left. I had noticed the State change into something I could not recognize! Now, I will never go back to CA. Just wait till they have a State Wide Emergency, and they come begging for Help. Paul

    I recently read an excellent book, Death Traps. The 3rd entered Normandy with 232 M4 Shermans, During the Europe campaign, they had 648 Shermans destroyed,another 700 knocked out, repaired and put back into service. that's brutal. Highly recommend this book for anyone who hasn't read it. Thanks for your service, were you in M60's? I have a friend I worked with that was in Germany i think during the 80's in tanks.
