On Monday, BizPac Review reported that petitioners from 20 states, including Florida, had petitioned the federal government to secede from the union. According to The Daily Caller, that number has since increased to 675,000 signatures from all 50 states.
In response, another petition has arrived at the White House asking that citizenship rights be stripped from all persons who signed a secession petitions. This petition also asks that the secessionists be exiled, but offers no suggestions as to where.
The petition reads, “Mr. President, please sign an executive order such that each American citizen who signed a petition from any state to secede from the USA shall have their citizenship stripped and be peacefully deported.”
According to the Weekly Standard, as of 1:54 p.m. on Tuesday, “2,205 have signed the petition [asking that secessionists be deported]; 22,795 more signatures are needed for the issue to be addressed by the White House.”
Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Although the far left apparently sees nothing wrong in asking that American citizens be deported, it continues to demand amnesty for those who arrive here illegally. Arizona is one of the battleground states on this issue, and Arizona’s ever-defiant Maricopa Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been a spearhead in that battle.
After Arpaio won re-election last week, he told Breitbart News “that he has a message for President Barack Obama: granting amnesty to illegal immigrants is unfair to legal immigrants.”
The Breitbart article continues:
And Arpaio would like to discuss amnesty — along with border security issues — with Obama “man to man” directly at the White House. He would also like to reach out to Hispanic groups he said have misunderstood his intentions and bought into the negative “propaganda” about him
Reflecting on such a meeting, Arpaio told Breitbart News, “I wish the president would invite me to the White House. We’ll have some wine and beer, and light up cigars.”
The article continues:
When it comes to potential amnesty provisions being discussed in Washington, Arpaio said he is against amnesty because, to him, it is a fairness issue the elite media and career politicians in Washington do not understand.
Taken together, I suppose this makes the far left’s message to America as follows: kick legal Americans out to make more room for illegals.

Stupid idea to deport,,, no one left here to pay taxes…..
Let’s deport illegal immigrants first before considering deporting anyone.
Maybe, when the GOP gets the WH back, we can deport all libs… Exile them to Alcatraz
Not far enough away!!!
Deport us for Freedom of Speech when we can’t even deport the people who are here illegally and don’t pay taxes. That is the left for you only they can have any rights and the rest of us should be submissive and bend to their will.Not going to happen here.
here we go… people trying to start a civil war… smh
I don’t want to secede, I am not about to let these socialists, muslims,welfare bums, illegals and so called entertainers, drive me from the country that I was born in, served in it’s military, worked my whole life in, contributed all my taxes to. I am going to stick around and do everything that I can to eventually return America to being the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. that I was once proud of. Today, not so much.
I think each state making its own laws is a god idea. It would be easier to control and the states that support abortion and same sex marriage can have it and the states that don’t can keep it out and away from our kids. We should have a right to day what should go on in the state we live in.
The Founding Fathers wrote and instituted the Electoral College into the Constitution to keep the balance of power in check. It was written to guard against more “Power” being given to Urban Areas because it was harder for people living in the Rural Areas to get to the polls. Our “winner take all” system of Electoral College Votes, is flawed and needs to be more representative of those who have to live outside the Urban Areas (or have had to relocate from the Urban Areas due to overwhelming Immigrant Populations). People who live in the Urban Areas, living closer together, can “Stack the deck” by standing outside the polling places with lists that check if a voter is a Democrat, and, if more Republican voters are showing up at that Precinct, can more easily send their “troops” out to go and pick up more Democrats in that vicinity to get to the polls. That is not so easy to do when voters who live outside the Urban Areas, much farther apart, can’t get that same help to get to the polls. Our own System of Elections is being used against us in these big cities and clearly, in this election, favored the minority voters living in these Urban Areas. IT IS NOT a “true” representation of the Will of the People in America. All of the major Urban Areas in this election were blue, therefore the entire state went blue and is not right. There should be a more balanced representation of all the Voters within a State, not just where the population is higher.
