If it is about immigration are other states thinking along the same lines? Correct me if I am wrong but don't other states have a much longer border with Mexico than California?
I don't know what will happen in the November 2018 election. We will have to wait and see.
As to the length of the states borders, it is not so much the length that matters but rather the ease by which people can cross and then just disappear into the population.
Texas, for example has a much longer border with Mexico than California. Texas, also has a HUGE problem. Last week, border patrol agents raided a 2 bedroom house and found 62 illegals living there. A few hours later, a large closed truck, was stopped and 55 illegals were found hiding inside. On the same day, in Texas, a high speed chase, at speeds of 140 KPH, a van filled with illegals resulted in the deaths of 5.
Last month, 55,836 illegals were arrested all along the entire border. How many escaped detection is unknown.
In the entire U.S. it is estimated that there are 11,400,000 illegals of different nationalities living in the U.S.
In California alone, an estimated 2,150,000 illegals live here. And, because of the wacko leftist politicians, the illegals vote. The voting by illegals has nearly destroyed our system.
