December 30, 1853 when the Gadsden Treaty was signed between the United
States and Mexico. The northern part of the Mexican state of Sonora, an
area located south of the Gila River, was purchased by the United States,
and tacked into what became the State of Arizona. The people of the Gadsden Purchase have
increasingly chafed under the domination of an enormous population in an
around Phoenix (Maricopa County). In order to end the domination of
Phoenix, the people of the Gadsden Purchase are seeking statehood.
Proclaiming themselves as Baja Arizona, a "state of mind" is acknowledged
to exist. The primary differences between Baja
Arizona and the remainder of Arizona are of attitude and tolerance. The
people of Baja Arizona are known throughout the southwest for their
enlightened view of the world. This is obviously not the case with the passaged of SB 1070 making it illegal to be an illegal in Arizona. In Baja Arizona people fight for civil
rights. In Maricopa County they are jailing immigrants. In Baja Arizona a major issue is environmental quality. In Maricopa the major concerns are
how to harrass Mexicans, and how to
gut the budgets of the state university system so we don't have too many smart people to
disagree with the dunderheads in the State Legislature. If Baja Arizona Became a
State
The State Motto would be "mas
cerveza". The State Song would be "Jo Jo" by the
Beatles. The State Animal would be Wiley
Coyote. The State Minstrel is Linda
Ronstadt. Cigarettes would be taxed at the rate
of $4.00 per pack to support the new state's free health care
system. There would be no speed limit in Baja Arizona since no one obeys the ones posted now. Tucson would likely be the capital, creating an economic boom as hordes of lobyyists descended on
the town. That might even justify a new hotel in downtown Tucson. Small government advocates in Baja Arizona suggest the state capitol be in an RV, which would move around from town to town
every 6 weeks. Alta Arizona would no longer have a border with Mexico.
Baja Arizona could limit the rights of Maricopa County residents to visit for only 24 hours, and
ban all real estate developers from Maricopa getting a Baja Visitor Visa.
Baja Arizona would probably send two
Democrats to the US Senate. WHAT ARE THE
CHANCES? The current Arizona state legislature would have to
call a special election, and the people of Alta Arizona and Baja Arizona
would have to vote in favor of splitting the state. Then Congress would
have to approve. The chances of the people in Maricopa County voting to
get rid of the concentration of Democrats to the south, and the people of
Baja Arizona voting to sever their ties to the right-wingers to the north
are excellent. The chances in Congress are not so good. First, there are several proto-states waiting to
be created--Puerto Rico, District of Columbia, and
Northern California. Baja Arizona is maybe 54th. The other three would
probably send Democrats to Congress, as would Baja Arizona. There is no
way the Republicans in the US House and Senate would create 4 new Democrat
delegations in Congress, just like the South blocked the admission of free
states before the Civil War. Like the pre-Civil War period, the only way
Baja Arizona gets to be a state is if new Republican dominated states are
also admitted. Texas could split into 5 states. Disneyworld could become a
state... how do you think we got a North Dakota and a South Dakota, a Virginia and a West Virginia, and a North and South Carolina? Did you know that more people live in Tucson than the entire state of Wyoming?
LETTERS AND
COMMENTS Enjoyed your frumious bandersnatch! But
the map of Arizona showing only Alta and Baja is incomplete--it is common
knowledge that the upper third, centered in Flagstaff, is Alta Arizona;
the lower third, centered in Tucson, is Baja Arizona; and the middle
third, centered in Phoenix, is Caca Arizona. Simple as ABC.----from D.D.
