AS PAST BUDGET HISTORY HAS
DOCUMENTED, EVEN IN TIMES OF STAGGERING DEFICIT, CALIFORNIA ONLY INCREASES
WELFARE TO ILLEGALS TO KEEP THEM COMING AND VOTING DEM FOR MORE!

"The state of California and the
sanctuary city laws that make it a safe-haven for criminal illegal aliens is
likely responsible for at least 5,000 crimes that were committed by criminal
illegal aliens released by local authorities rather than being handed over to
federal immigration officials."
Pelosi is a ghastly creature. She and her ilk – Feinstein, Boxer, Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom – have effectively destroyed California and they did it on purpose. They strive to import as many illegal migrants as possible; they've created and fostered the homelessness and let it fester. California is now a socialist disaster and the further destruction of the economy is just what they've wanted. PATRICIA McCARTHY
Newsom's beach closures
are distraction for Cal budget collapse
California's
Gov. Gavin Newsom's closure of Orange County beaches is an effort to distract
the public from the state's "tens of billions of dollars"
financial free fall.
Newsom's
April 30 executive order closing Orange County
beaches to stop the coronavirus sparked a series of viral protests this weekend that
brought out thousands of mostly young and very angry demonstrators shouting
"U-S-A" and waving "Freedom: We the people" and
"Recall Gavin Newsom" signs.
OC
beach closures distracted the public from Newsom's real crisis, which is a
tanking state budget that he just acknowledged has gone from a "$21.4
billion budget surplus" to "tens of billions of dollars in
deficit," according to Bloomberg.
The
Harvard study found that Newsom had one of the highest scores for
"Reacting about right" to the COVID-19 outbreak with a score of 78,
three points higher than the score of 75 for New York governor Andrew
Cuomo. The two lowest scoring governors in the survey were Florida
governor Ron DeSantis with a score of 60
and Hawaii governor David Ige with a score of 55 — both were blamed for failing
to close beaches.
Newsom's
rise is especially impressive, given that the average of the Morning
Consult, Monmouth University, and Quinnipiac University pre-pandemic
poll approval rating of just 42 percent, 5 points lower than the 47 percent for
Cuomo. Newsom's response to the pandemic kicked his approval up by
41 points, versus a 31-percent gain for Cuomo.
Orange County sheriff Don Barnes responded to
the governors' order by stating: "The photographs I saw, quite honestly,
were a stark contrast to what the governor's acting
on." Sheriff Barnes emphasized: "I have no desire to
enforce ... through arrest."
Newsom
has the authority to use California state troopers, park rangers, and the
National Guard to enforce his beach closures, but he risks confrontations with
frustrated young people that could quickly get out of control and then turn
violent.
Responding
to Vietnam War protests 50 years ago, popular Ohio governor James A. Rhodes
declared a "state of emergency" and then sent
in the National Guard to restore order on May 2. The 1,000 National
Guard troopers and the students kept their distance for two
days. But with classes resuming on May 4, antiwar protestors
screamed, "Pigs off campus" and hurled rocks at 75 advancing
Guardsmen brandishing rifles with bayonets. Twenty-nine soldiers
eventually opened fire, killing four of the students and creating a national
crisis.
Newsom
knows the risks he faces if the Orange County protests create a violent
confrontation. But he also is keenly aware that former vice
president Joe Biden's bid for the Democrat Party presidential nomination may
collapse over "#MeToo" sexual assault charges by former staffer
Tara Reade after a disastrous MSNBC interview when
Biden refused to allow access to 1,875 boxes of documents and 415 gigabytes
of electronic records from his Senate tenure now held at the
University of Delaware.
Newsom
appears to be the Democrats' most competitive replacement if Biden continues to
stumble and he could use the campaign to attack President Trump for refusing to
agree to a $1 trillion state of local government bailout.
California's
non-partisan legislative analyst Gabriel Petek told state senators on
April 30 that the 2020–21 budget shortfall would total about $35 billion in
2020–21 and could metastasize to an additional $85 billion in the following
years.
But
with temperatures rising and tens of thousands of young people embittered by
the statewide coronavirus lockdown, Gavin Newsom had better hope those beach
protests do not turn violent and destroy his political future.

California Shouldn’t Demand Money from the Rest of Us Only to Give it to
Illegal Aliens

Once again,
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) has gone to extraordinary lengths to
reward illegal immigration and encourage illegal aliens to stay in the United
States. On Wednesday, he announced that—due to the coronavirus pandemic—California will give
$500 checks to 150,000 low-income illegal aliens. The cost to taxpayers will be
$125 million.
This came a day after Los Angeles
Mayor Eric Garcetti announced that illegal aliens will be eligible to receive $1,500
checks that the city will be handing out to its residents.
What Newsom and Garcetti are doing
is illegal under federal law. In 1996 Congress passed a major welfare reform
act. A crucial section of that law prohibits states and localities from giving
public benefits to illegal aliens. And it remains in federal law today at 8 U.S.C. 1621: an
illegal alien “is not eligible for any State or local public benefit.” Public benefit includes “any … benefit
for which payments or assistance are provided to an individual, household, or
family eligibility unit by an agency of a State or local government….”
We stopped hoping that California
would follow federal law a long time ago; these latest actions continue a
pattern. As I wrote last July, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) was the
first governor to sign a bill making free health
care available to illegal aliens. The cost of providing those
benefits to illegal aliens was a massive $98 million. That giveaway, too,
violates federal law.
But now Newsom is providing millions
of dollars in checks to illegal aliens while at the same time expecting
the rest of the country to subsidize this spending. California officials
are hoping that the federal
government will reimburse 75% of the state’s coronavirus expenditures.
And Democrats in Congress are
demanding that we federal taxpayers cough up the money. Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) want the federal government to
provide $150 billion to state and local governments to help absorb their
coronavirus spending.
The audacity of handing unlawful
checks to illegal aliens while demanding that the rest of us pay for it is
breathtaking. Especially when red states have kept their spending under control
and have not been handing checks to illegal aliens.
No state that is handing checks to
illegal aliens, subsidizing free health care for illegal aliens, and offering
sanctuary to illegal aliens – all in violation of federal law – deserves a
penny of assistance from the rest of us taxpayers. Not to mention the fact that
an unprecedented number of low-income Americans are unemployed. Those U.S.
citizens shouldn’t have to compete with illegal aliens for jobs when the
economy reopens. But Newsom and other California Democrats are encouraging the
illegal aliens to remain.
You would think that California
officials would put U.S. citizens first just once, during this time of national
crisis. But you’d be wrong.
