| Ben Stein: 'Sanctuary State' California Flirting with 'Civil War' (video) |
| 2018-01-07 |
| [FOX] Economist and actor Ben Stein said California is flirting with "civil war" against the rest of the United States over its refusal to enforce federal immigration policies. Stein reacted to comments Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan made on "Your World" earlier in the week, in which Homan said citizens will die and Gov. Jerry Brown (D-Calif.) is likely violating federal law by enacting a "sanctuary state" policy. "I think that this is essentially a rebellion by the state of California," Stein said. He said California's posture looks "very much like the beginning of a civil war," invoking the actions of April 12, 1861 when the Confederate military fired upon the Union installment at Fort Sumter in South Carolina. Stein said he believes the "civil war," if there is one, will be one fought in the courts rather than on the battlefield. Fox Business' Charlie Gasparino said Brown's actions are "almost like [former Alabama Gov.] George Wallace (D) standing in front of the door of the school." On June 11, 1963, Wallace stood in the doorway of an auditorium in Tuscaloosa, Ala. to prevent two black students from entering. The actions prompted President John F. Kennedy to federalize the National Guard, per executive order 11111. Gen. Henry Graham was dispatched to the university and confronted Wallace, who eventually stepped aside. |

| #8 Divide California first. The bulk would stay with the US, the remains (Coast from Marin down to LA with a gap in the central coast farms near SLO) should be left to depart in peace. |

| #7 Dimwits, don't they know that without those guaranteed democratic electoral college votes, they can never elect a Democrat president? Let them secede, I'll move to Nevada along with every major business with offices in California and enjoy the disintegration of that liberal paradise from afar...California will be a third world country in six months after they announce secession. |

| #1 No need for any violence in the streets. A dozen or so federal marshals pay the governor a predawn visit some Monday morning and perp walk him out of the governor's mansion into a Crown Victoria headed for the nearest federal detention facility. Later that morning he is arraigned on a number of charges and the judge orders him held without bail. Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom realizes that the only way to keep himself out of the federal lockup is to do as AG Sessions tells him to do. A slew of California state laws are then declared unconstitutional and repealed. Democrat lawmakers in Sacramento, seeing where the real power lies, decide not to create an further problems. Well, I can dream, can't I? |
