That new countries economy would collapse within days once they figured out that all the money they get right now in Fed assistance would be cut off. That all the power they get from Hoover Dam would just double in cost. All the improvements to roads and welfare would be gone.  Once they had to be fully sustainable financially, and figured out that illegals don't pay taxes, they won't have any money to operate on. Commiefornia is nothing more than a big welfare state, and will stay that way as long as liberals are in charge of it.

Democrats always view their future in reference to dreams instead of reality.

You are obviously not one of our new bright lights on the forum so I'll try to help you out a tad.  If the words are too big, there is this thing called "google" you can use to help educate yourself.  Try it; it can open whole new worlds for you.

This is a chart indicating how much each state gets back in federal expenditure for each dollar a state sends to Washington.  It is on a per capita basis so as to normalize and allow accurate comparisons across states (again, use google if any of this is a little difficult for you).



As you might be able to comprehend, CA is around the bottom 1/4 of states relying much on the feds.  

Also on a per capita basis, CA is actually in the bottom 10 states in using federal money for social services. 

Most federal dollars in CA are going to defense expenditures (SD Naval Base, Camp Pendleton, numerous AF bases), massive R&D (UC system including Lawrence Livermore, Silicon Valley), port facilities and incredible shipping infrastructure (SF, LA, SD and Inland Empire hub), and massive federal land holdings.  It would be difficult if not impossible for left-behind Red states to duplicate that capacity and the lack of being able to tap into CA's dynamism would greatly add to the likelihood of you all remaining pretty backward far into the future.  My bet, however, is you probably wouldn't notice.
