California is the "expanded Mexico" The imaginary border just keeps getting pushed further North. They need to build a fence at the Oregon border!

For those that think the inmates will all stay and pillage the local townships in an orgy of crime and depredation

You might want to consider how useful our interstate system is to everyone: Pelican Bay (Crescent City, CA) to Portland, OR is about 330 miles, Boise, ID 550 miles
These guys have been to the graduate school of crime and the majority WILL commit crimes after release. Good luck and keep your eyes open.
Maybe if they stopped putting people in prison for non-violent offenses they might not have this as a serious problem. Pot dealer? 10 years. Get caught with a bag of mushrooms? 20. States are creating their own problems. California can sink into the ocean for all I care.
If states would remember what Lysander Spooner said over 100 years ago: Vices Are Not Crimes. <broken link removed>
"It is a maxim of the law that there can be no crime without a criminal intent; that is, without the intent to invade the person or property of another. But no one ever practises a vice with any such criminal intent. He practises his vice for his own happiness solely, and not from any malice toward others.
Unless this clear distinction between vices and crimes be made and recognized by the laws, there can be on earth no such thing as individual right, liberty, or property; no such things as the right of one man to the control of his own person and property, and the corresponding and coequal rights of another man to the control of his own person and property.
For a government to declare a vice to be a crime, and to punish it as such, is an attempt to falsify the very nature of things. It is as absurd as it would be to declare truth to be falsehood, or falsehood truth."
Maybe then, our jails wouldn't be so crowded.
Wow! Lysander Spooner quoted on a gun forum. I am impressed.
