I know in the past states have cecceded from the Union, (Civil War) but I wonder if there are any provisions to kicking a state out of the Union. I'd be all for getting rid of California, and seeing if Puerto Rico or Guam want to take their place.

No disrespect to you sir, but, this is exactly the problem with this country today.  People not paying attention and not speaking out against the injustices that are occuring.  An then when something occurs that is totally beyond comprehension, we expect the government to do soemthing.  Try being proactive and making your voice heard.

Also no disrespect for asking this, but what are you doing to make your voice heard?? What are you out speaking against? Just curious..

I go to my polling location every chance I get and I vote accordingly..

Oh I'm sure some of the anti-American right-wing terrorism supporters in this thread work hard.  It's just the part where they pray for the deaths of their countrymen that concerns me.

I don't think anyone is praying for anyone to die here, just that some would be missed less than others. If someone has to die in more terrorists attacks it would seem only just that it be those who thwart the efforts of those who would uphold the law trying to protect them from invaders. Of course this life isn't just.

It's a huge drain in federal resources and operates in the red.

Could you be more wrong?

I guess I didn't understand the "leech" comment then.

A San Francisco woman whose husband and two sons were gunned down last month — allegedly by an illegal immigrant who remained in the city despite previous crimes — is demanding the city do something about its sanctuary law.

Danielle Bologna was widowed on June 22 when Edwin Ramos, 21, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, allegedly gunned down her husband, Anthony, and two sons, Matthew and Michael, in a road rage incident when her family was returning from a picnic.

Ramos has been charged with three counts of murder in the case, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

"It was a senseless crime, and had they done something this animal would not have taken my family," Bologna told FOX News on Monday. "I feel that the government should have stepped in. I feel that they allow these immigrants to come in and how dare they strip our families like this."

The Chronicle reported that Ramos was convicted of two gang-related felonies while a juvenile and remained in San Francisco because the Juvenile Probation Department did not alert federal authorities. San Francisco's 1989 "City of Refuge" ordinance prohibits city agencies from contacting the feds on immigration matters.

The newspaper also found that federal officials knew about Ramos' immigration status in March when he was arrested on a gun charge, though they couldn't tell the Chronicle why they didn't put an immigration hold on Ramos.

I too vote regularly in hometown and national elections.  I also sen e-mails regularly to my state and national congressman.  Not that they ever read them.  After a little reflection, not that they listen to their constituants at all.  Both sides not just one.  From your first statement, did not get the impression that you voted at all.  Sorry for that.

She should sue the bastards (Newsom and the rest of the city supervisors) personally. After all they are committing a fed crime.


If they are allowed to pick and choose which laws they like and obey, and which ones they don't, I and everybody else should be allowed this "right" as well.

This is madness.
