There's this talk going on in California....since the election....that Governor Gavin Newsom is reportedly evaluating options for California’s possible independence.
Necessity? Well....in some odd way....to oppose President Trump’s plans for deporting undocumented immigrants and enforcing voter ID requirements.
I paused over reading this....thinking it has to be 50-percent BS.
Total independence? Not possible.
If they were part of Mexico? Well...it's not such a crazy idea. I could see a dozen reasons why California could 're-join' Mexico. The cartel folks would be extremely positive over such a measure. Converting over to the Mexican Peso would be a simple matter. Pay-scale for LA and SF police....it'd drop by 90-percent over-night.
Would Mexico easily accept the deal? NO....I seriously doubt it. They'd probably go to Trump and ask for $100-billion in assistance in taking the charity-case.
Here's the thing....if this makes sense....in 10 years, Mexico would approach the US and ask to be packaged into the Union....as the 51st state, and California would be re-admitted in some weird fashion.
