CA is a huge suction machine that gobbles federal dollars. If LA or any other city doesn't comply with lawful Federal regulations concerning illegals who sneaked into the country, remove all Federal funding...ALL OF IT. Guaranteed they'll come around. No block grants, no assistance from HUD, nothing from Dept. of Transportation, nothing from Homeland Security, etc. And when natural disasters occur, make it clear that there's nothing coming their way.
No, I don't think that will work, TBH. It's like international sanctions, they backfire massively.
LA and SanFran are already shit-strewn hell-holes. If it descends into utter chaos, then California will not be part of the USA anymore, and it could kill millions of poor innocents in a Cartel-fueled turf-war on American Soil - oh wait. What California needs is infrastructure and Human Resources that are not just aspiring starlets, but actual dust-men, waterworks, building inspectors and beat-cops. Everybody in the world wants to become a Hollywood star, and that is an issue. Because there are plenty of alcohol and meth outlets that are happy to let you dream about fame, anyway. Many such cases. Some sane adult should at least focus on not only town planning but also services (dump-trucks, parks, public toilets, libraries etc.) that are not out-sourced to criminals.
Federal funding is what keeps the bureaucracy running, which means SOME waste colletion instead of NO waste collection. The difference is stunning, trust me. Allowing Americans to suffer a complete collapse in California is not on the cards. Mind you, plenty will try.
