That's not really surprising considering that half of the US economy is in California.
Even in size California is only 30% smaller than france.

Agricultural output went up and there is plenty of water for the minority that goes to residential and non-ag commercial.

Also on average reservoirs are up now from previous years.

I fear this might become reality. California is good economically, Majority of its population is hispanic, its language is Spanish, it has separate culture from rest of the country. I do not mean mix and match of cultures, but strict hispanic culture from Mexico. Its people feel no loyalty to the U.S. as a whole. Its leadership also hispanic is make laws that benefit hispanics that are illigal (such as using federal fund for illigal healthcare), making education hispanic centric i.e. taught in Spanish as a result we have natural born citizens who can not speak English. California is basicly lost to the U.S.. If federal power weakened, California will become a separate nation or go back to mexico due to disloyalty (not malicious, but indifference) of its citizens.

Latinos are the biggest group but they aren't quite the majority just yet.

It's okay to question group loyalties, it is a valid topic. As long as they pay their dues to the CA FTB and IRS it's all good though, we wont throw'em in jail. The new biggest group can eventually feel what it's like to be paying most of the taxes.

I'm guessing you don't know anything about California.

And I'm pretty sure a lot of states have their own unique culture.

And since when is Jerry Brown hispanic?

[Daws001]

Excellent. First we surpass France, then we take over the United States. We will rename the country...California.

No it isn't. Not unless you have a valid reason to. And no, brown skin is not a valid reason.

[Mifuyne]

Time to release the anchors and move out into the sea California!
Before France riots with baguettes and cheese.

Your view sounds fantastic, when can we get rid of the NAACP and all like-minded programs? After all, you wouldn't want to be a hypocrite.

I don't live in California but I've been there. All I saw was tolerant liberal America. Quite a lot of Hispanics but they were just ordinary people living ordinary everyday lives.

Artemis sounds like one of those paranoid psychotic right-wingers who has been taught to be afraid of "brown people".

[Tempguy]

They're too busy trying to ignore the trickle-down paradise/disaster they created in Kansas.

Where are all the right wingers who usually go on about places run by Democrats being terrible?

lol. I bet you guys are just fuming that no conservatives are bashing California so you can get out all that angst.

CA won’t be leaving the US anytime soon. Water is a problem. San Diego area received 62% of its water from Colorado River. The same with electrical power. CA power plants only have the capacity to provide 62% of the state power demand.

Most of the second generation latinos in CA have little to no loyalties to Mexico. Compared to the past, a very low percentage of second-generation Mexican-Americans list Spanish as their dominate language. According to a 2014 Pew Research Center survey, just 6 percent of second generation Mexican-Americans stated Spanish was their dominate language. Also, 54 percent stated they were bilingual and 39 percent offered that they were English-dominant. When it came to third generation, just 1 percent claimed to be Spanish-dominant, 29 percent bilingual and a hefty 70 percent stated that they were English-dominate.
