      Do you really want our population doubled that quickly? Keep in mind 50% of our country would now basically be Americans.

      No thanks.

        Yeah people keep saying California should be a province of Canada which is ridiculous. Why not suggest something that’s plausible?

        California should be it’s own country. It’s got a higher population than Canada and a much larger economy. They’d no longer need to continue subsidizing states that are happy when the guy they put into power denies them emergency aid in a disaster. They could have their own emergency relief fund they’d administer themselves, and they could set their own immigration policy.

        They can be like puerto rico and just don‘t get any representation in major parts of the government.
