    the cartels hold massive influence over the govt, straight up killing their legislators in significant numbers at times.

      There is serious violence, but CA has law enforcement in place with experience dealing with the Cartels. The power they weild in Mexican Government would be outweighed by the 30% increase in population and the doubling of the size of the Mexican Economy.

      Of course the violence that would be required to result in CA leaving the union might result in destruction of that economy. Hard to say.
