Call this far fetched, but I think it is possible if the whole local policing of undocumented immigrants continues in Arizona. I think Arizona should go ahead and make plans to declare their independence from the US. This should be a bloodless revolt regardless of some Arizonians thirst for blood. US tax payers would waist time and money fighting a war with the Arizonians. I say let them pack up their bags and go.
The Republic of Arizona. Sounds kinda funny, but we'd get use to it.There's already the Arizona Republic, a Phoenix newspaper. They could create their own lore and culture based on the hysterics of today. They'd have the same problems with immigration, but at least they wouldn't have the US government to blame for the problem. Arizonians could be relieved of their patriotic burden and guilt for talking bad about the federal government. Instead Arizonians may be comforted by taking aim at, ripping and pointing the finger at California, Mexico, New Mexico, and all the other northern agitators, carpetbaggers, and flimflam polluting their state with their foreigner ideals, culture, and immorality.
Arizonians could talk about the founders of Arizona as Christian believers who conquered the local heathens, fought the foreign aggression, and protected the women and children they love so dearly. If they did it within the next few years, the face of their agitators would be mostly people of color and immigrants - President Obama, New Mexico's Governor Bill Richards, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. If prudent, they politicians may try to build alliances with Colorado and Nevada because they share common interests, water rights, and problems with immigration.
Independence supporters, Tea Party advocates, and libertarian types could pool their resources and bring in Rand Paul, who would bring Civil Rights, but not force businesses to serve those who they do not want to so the government did not have a say in how Arizonians run their business. They would not have to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr., Day or any of the American President Days officially. Those holidays would be more like Juneteenth and Cinco de Mayo, unofficial celebratory days for minorities.
I don't know. But, I think it could work. Not sure if this idea will work, but I did wonder, if the common complaints some Arizonians profess get too heated, would they defect, revolt, and declare their independence as did the Southerners prior to the Civil War.
If they did, I hope I would not get stuck their without my passport trying to get back in America.
