If Texas can ignore the federal government and make its own immigration policy, then I guess California can make its own trade policy. Seems fair.

States setting their own trade agreements is totally unconstitutional, but we haven't been following that for a while now anyway. I'm hoping the whole west coast can form it's own trade coalition.

So should states setting their own immigration policy and enforcing laws in other states. I'm wholely support democrats playing by the same dirty ass rules as the Republicans while trying to get those fucking loopholes fixed. We need more satanic temples (theist church that contests every religious overreach into schools by then submitting their "satanic Bible" which preaches love and acceptance.)
