Nope.

Upwards of 90% of California water sources are totally in-state.

The only water source that is shared with other states is the Colorado River, and California has water rights there.

IF Calif DID leave the US; there's a real good chance that state will LOSE its Colorado River water. Period.

No there is precedent. Mexico also has water rights and they store water at Lake Mead.

Uh; it doesn't matter. Hillary go her butt handed to her so you hillary fans will have to deal with Trump.

If talking the Colorado River and Mexico: ain't a thing that Mexico could do about when the US shuts off Calif's water as long as Mexico ain't cut off. Period.

Well, we in AZ talk big abput our river, but then again Commiefornia will have the "Peoples" army, marines, navy and air force and nuclear weapons. And we have... diddly squat. So probably they will take what they want.

As for Mexico, they can suck our mud and be glad we don't make them pay for it.

And this my friends is an example of a delusional liberal. Cali is 488 billion in debt and growing, read and weep.Wall of Debt - Unsustainable California The only thing nice in Cali is the weather and your pollution laws are screwing that up. Are you aware that the drought in cali is mostly man made.

Says YOUR hero Obama and his administration, but HE LIED, yes, the Obama administration held back the actual count of illegals and YOU bought it hook,line and sinker...

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on Thursday said agents are seeing a renewed surge of illegal immigrants attempting to sneak into the country through the southwest border over the last few months, with more than 46,000 caught in October alone.

DHS denied it is holding back the report, but sources say it was completed in November and that it shows roughly half of adults who attempt to cross the border make it - approximately 250,000 in total.

As for your "CA border stations", those are bug check stations and are a COMPLETE joke. Closed much of the time and if open, well, they just wave you through.

Yes and apart from the felons, the rest should be put on a path to legal status.
Why didn't they do this in the first place, it would have prevented a lot of bullcrap.

Really? So no water from Oregon? I guess you missed the Klamath river?
