Following in the footsteps of 19th-century Democratic secessionists, Democratic Sen. Liz Krueger of New York has raised the possibility of blue states seceding from the Union for ideological reasons.
Kruger is a pro-abortion activist in Manhattan who chairs the New York State Senate Finance Committee.
recently said Politico, “Thinking outside the box is not unreasonable.”
Krueger, like other New York radicals, wants the incoming Trump administration to follow through on campaign promises, including successfully enforcing U.S. immigration laws in the state, by deporting noncitizens who commit crimes and forcing them to pay taxes. They are concerned about reducing the burden placed on the public, which is financed by public funds. resource.
Kruger, September
said New York City and the state where President Trump won the election would offer Canada “instead of all of us trying to illegally cross the border in the middle of the night unnoticed. It's difficult, but they should do it.''Instead, agree to make us a new province of Canada, a province in the southeast. ”
“I proposed that New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont would be combined into a great new state in southeastern Canada, even though we had not yet received consent from the other states. '' Krueger said. “Basically everyone in these states is a progressive Democrat.”
“We'll be a pretty good fit.”
Apparently the Democrats
took an oath If you “support the U.S. Constitution,” you would be happy to trade it for Canada's very flexible constitution. charter of rights and freedoms And sell out millions of proud Americans.
Trump received 44.1% of the vote (3,484,124 votes) in New York. 41.9% (739,317) of the votes cast in Connecticut. Massachusetts received 36.5% of the votes (1,234,961); In Vermont, he received 32.6% (119,393) of the vote.
“We would fit pretty well into the political philosophy of at least most of Canada's elected officials,” Krueger said.
The Democrat apparently doesn't know that Pierre Poièvre, the populist leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, intends to crush Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party and the socialist New Democratic Party in the next election. The Conservative Party is outperforming both Canadian left-wing parties combined.
recent opinion polls.
“I suggested that this could be an option, and I heard some informal responses back that this could possibly be sold in Ottawa,” Krueger added.
If Northern incorporation doesn't work out, Democrats are apparently considering other unviable alternatives. It is withholding more than $300 billion in federal taxes to undermine the Trump administration.
Even Politico acknowledges that it's unclear how Mr. Krueger's tax withholding plan will be accomplished, especially if reactionary cuts to federal aid hit New York hard.
New York State Comptroller's Office
shown New York State announced in April that it has repeatedly received more money from Washington, D.C., in recent years than it has paid in federal taxes. For example, in fiscal year 2022, states generated $361.8 billion in federal taxes and benefited from $383 billion in federal spending.
When it comes to secession and withholding, Krueger is again betting on the loser.
