California—not Mississippi, New
Mexico, or West Virginia—has the highest poverty rate in the United States.
According to the Census Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty Measure—which accounts
for the cost of housing, food, utilities, and clothing, and which includes
noncash government assistance as a form of income—nearly one out of four
Californians is poor. Kerry Jackson

California’s de facto
status as a one-party state lies at the heart of its poverty problem. With a
permanent majority in the state senate and the assembly, a prolonged dominance
in the executive branch, and a weak opposition, California Democrats have long
been free to indulge blue-state ideology while paying little or no political
price. The state’s poverty problem is unlikely to improve while policymakers
remain unwilling to unleash the engines of economic prosperity that drove
California to its golden years. Kerry Jackson

Study: More than 7-in-10 California Immigrant Welfare... Pelosi says she wants to get those figure higher!
More than 7-in-10 households headed by immigrants in the
state of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare, a new study reveals.
The latest Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that
about 72 percent of households headed by noncitizens and immigrants use one or
more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare programs in California — the number one
immigrant-receiving state in the U.S.
Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of households headed by
native-born Americans use welfare in California.
All four states with the largest foreign-born populations,
including California, have extremely high use of welfare by immigrant
households. In Texas, for example, nearly 70 percent of households headed by
immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare. Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of
native-born households in Texas are on welfare.
In New York and Florida, a majority of households headed by
immigrants and noncitizens are on welfare. Overall, about 63 percent of
immigrant households use welfare while only 35 percent of native-born
households use welfare.
President Trump’s administration is looking to soon implement a
policy that protects American taxpayers’ dollars from funding the
mass importation of welfare-dependent foreign nationals by enforcing a “public
charge” rule whereby legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a
permanent residency in the U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the
past, including using Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing.
The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers
in the form of an annual $57.4
billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for
the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of
1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.
As Breitbart News reported, the majority of
the more than 1.5 million foreign nationals entering the country every
year use about 57
percent more food stamps than the average native-born American
household. Overall, immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash
welfare than American citizen households and 44 percent more in Medicaid
dollars. This straining of public services by a booming 44 million foreign-born
population translates to the average immigrant household costing American
taxpayers $6,234 in federal
welfare.
Kobach: California Shouldn’t Demand Money from the Rest of Us Only to Give it to Illegal Aliens
17 Apr 20208,016

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.

Another line they cut into: Illegals get free public housing as impoverished Americans wait
Want some perspective on why so many blue sanctuary cities have so many homeless encampments hovering around?
Try the reality that illegal immigrants are routinely given free public housing by the U.S., based on the fact that they are uneducated, unskilled, and largely unemployable. Those are the criteria, and now importing poverty has never been easier. Shockingly, this comes as millions of poor Americans are out in the cold awaiting that housing that the original law was intended to help.
Thus, the tent cities, and by coincidence, the worst of these emerging shantytowns are in blue sanctuary cities loaded with illegal immigrants - Orange County, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, New York...Is there a connection? At a minimum, it's worth looking at.
The Trump administration's Department of Housing and Urban Development is finally trying to put a stop to it as 1.5 million illegals prepare to enter the U.S. this year, and one can only wonder why they didn't do it yesterday.
The plan would scrap Clinton-era regulations that allowed illegal immigrants to sign up for assistance without having to disclose their status.
Under the new Trump rules, not only would the leaseholder using public housing have to be an eligible U.S. person, but the government would verify all applicants through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, a federal system that’s used to weed illegal immigrants out of other welfare programs.
Those already getting HUD assistance would have to go through a new verification, though it would be over a period of time and wouldn’t all come at once.
“We’ve got our own people to house and need to take care of our citizens,” an administration official told The Washington Times. “Because of past loopholes in HUD guidance, illegal aliens were able to live in free public housing desperately needed by so many of our own citizens. As illegal aliens attempt to swarm our borders, we’re sending the message that you can’t live off of American welfare on the taxpayers’ dime.”
The Times notes that the rules are confusingly contradictary, and some illegal immigrant families are getting full rides based on just one member being born in the U.S. The pregnant caravaner who calculatingly slipped across the U.S. in San Diego late last year, only to have her baby the next day, now, along with her entire family, gets that free ride on government housing. Plus lots of cheesy news coverage about how heartwarming it all is. That's a lot cheaper than any housing she's going to find back in Tegucigalpa.
Migrants would be almost fools not to take the offering.
The problem of course is that Americans who paid into these programs, and the subset who find themselves in dire circumstances, are in fact being shut out.
The fill-the-pews Catholic archbishops may love to tout the virtues of illegal immigrants and wave signs about getting 'justice" for them, but the hard fact here is that these foreign nationals are stealing from others as they take this housing benefit under legal technicalities. That's not a good thing under anyone's theological law. But hypocrisy is comfortable ground for the entire open borders lobby as they shamelessly celebrate lawbreaking at the border, leaving the impoverished of the U.S. out cold.
The Trump administration is trying to have this outrage fixed by summer. But don't imagine it won't be without the open-borders lawsuits, the media sob stories, the leftist judges, and the scolding clerics.
Los Angeles County Pays Over a Billion in Welfare to Illegal Aliens Over Two Years
In 2015 and 2016, Los Angeles County paid nearly $1.3 billion in welfare funds to illegal aliens and their families. That figure amounts to 25 percent of the total spent on the county’s entire needy population, according to Fox News.
The state of California is home to more illegal aliens than any other state in the country. Approximately one in five illegal aliens lives in California, Pew reported.
Approximately a quarter of California’s 4 million illegal immigrants reside in Los Angeles County. The county allows illegal immigrant parents with children born in the United States to seek welfare and food stamp benefits.
The welfare benefits data acquired by Fox News comes from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services and shows welfare and food stamp costs for the county’s entire population were $3.1 billion in 2015, $2.9 billion in 2016.
The data also shows that during the first five months of 2017, more than 60,000 families received a total of $181 million.
Over 58,000 families received a total of $602 million in benefits in 2015 and more than 64,000 families received a total of $675 million in 2016.
Robert Rector, a Heritage Foundation senior fellow who studies poverty and illegal immigration, told Fox the costs represent “the tip of the iceberg.”
“They get $3 in benefits for every $1 they spend,” Rector said. It can cost the government a total of $24,000 per year per family to pay for things like education, police, fire, medical, and subsidized housing.
In February of 2019, the Los Angeles city council signed a resolution making it a sanctuary city. The resolution did not provide any new legal protections to their immigrants, but instead solidified existing policies.
In October 2017, former California governor Jerry Brown signed SB 54 into law. This bill made California, in Brown’s own words, a “sanctuary state.” The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the State of California over the law. A federal judge dismissed that suit in July. SB 54 took effect on Jan. 1, 2018.
According to Center for Immigration Studies, “The new law does many things: It forbids all localities from cooperating with ICE detainer notices, it bars any law enforcement officer from participating in the popular 287(g) program, and it prevents state and local police from inquiring about individuals’ immigration status.”
Some counties in California have protested its implementation and joined the Trump administration’s lawsuit against the state.
California’s campaign to provide public services to illegal immigrants did not end with the exit of Jerry Brown. His successor, Gavin Newsom, is just as focused as Brown in funding programs for illegal residents at the expense of California taxpayers.
California’s budget earmarks millions of dollars
annually to the One California program, which
provides free legal assistance to all aliens,
including those facing deportation, and makes
California’s public universities easier for illegal-
alien students to attend.
According to the Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers 2017 report, for the estimated 12.5 million illegal immigrants living in the country, the resulting cost is a $116 billion burden on the national economy and taxpayers each year, after deducting the $19 billion in taxes paid by some of those illegal immigrants.

Coronavirus: California secures over 15,000 hotel rooms for homeless, but is slower to fill them
Gov. Newsom says less than 40 percent of rooms are occupied
A correction to an earlier version of this article has been appended to the end of the article.

CAMPBELL — California has reached its goal of securing more than 15,000 hotel rooms to get sick and vulnerable homeless residents off the streets and out of shelters, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Saturday, but filling those rooms with people is proving to be much slower.
The state has moved 4,211 homeless people into temporary hotel and motel rooms, Newsom said, filling about 38 percent of the nearly 11,000 rooms leased by California.
Standing with local officials outside a Motel 6 in Campbell, Newsom said Saturday that the state had reached an agreement with the lodging giant to lease another 5,025 rooms at locations in 19 counties, pushing past the 15,000-room goal he had set for the initiative known as Project Roomkey when it launched earlier this month. More than 150,000 people are homeless in California.
Newsom said state officials are also looking into ways they can help city and county governments eventually buy the hotels and motels they are now leasing to create permanent housing for the homeless after the coronavirus subsides. Details for doing so were scarce, though, as Newsom said funding would probably have to come from a mix of local, state, federal and private philanthropic sources.
The immediate goal, however, is for the thousands of hotel beds being leased across California to house homeless people who have tested positive for coronavirus or were exposed to people infected with the virus, as well as those who are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 because they are elderly or have certain medical conditions.
But only a fraction of hotel rooms procured for emergency shelter in the Bay Area have been filled — often to the frustration of advocates seeking places to house vulnerable people as clusters of coronavirus cases emerge in homeless shelters.
“We announced this two weeks ago, so respectfully I think this is a rather heroic effort in terms of being able to organize and mobilize and move forward,” Newsom said when asked about the slow pace of moving people into rooms.
In some cases, the problem has been local governments blocking efforts to move homeless people into hotels, Newsom said.
“There are folks who just turn their backs and say it’s someone else’s problem and point fingers, and we have a few of those unfortunately,” he said. “My heart goes out to them as well. I get the politics. It’s tough.”
Even those that welcome the idea face challenges because the effort requires cooperation between local, state and federal governments.
“The process is not overnight,” Newsom said. “There are a few layers here, and in each and every case there are complexities and nuances that need to be worked through.”
Reactions from advocates for homeless residents were mixed. Andrea Urton, CEO of Santa Clara County shelter operator HomeFirst, said she is used to having to deal with slow-moving government bureaucracy.
“People are working as fast as they possibly can,” Urton said.
Urton said she can see the difference these efforts are making — one shelter they manage in Sunnyvale has gone from 175 residents to just 88 as people move to hotels and new county shelters, which allows for more social distancing.
“I’m hoping that it picks up, absolutely,” she said. “I think the powers that be have done a great job so far.”
But not everyone feels the speed has been sufficient to the scale of the crisis.
“The state is not moving fast enough, they could have commandeered more hotel rooms sooner,” said Candice Elder, founder and executive director of the East Oakland Collective. For homeless people trying to get a place to stay, Elder said, “The barriers to get in are high, the process is difficult.”
In Oakland, where Alameda County officials have secured 393 rooms at two hotels, 211 people had moved in as of Thursday. Dozens of state-owned trailers brought in to house the homeless in Oakland, and more than 100 similar trailers in San Jose, all sit empty because officials say they are still being prepared for people to move in.
San Francisco had moved 874 people into its 1,271 rooms as of Wednesday. Meanwhile in San Mateo County, where officials have not specified how many total rooms have been obtained, 72 people had moved into hotels as of Friday.
Elder said her organization is part of a coalition that has been paying for hotel rooms for vulnerable unhoused residents who haven’t been able to get into government-managed rooms.
One of them is 68-year-old Delbra Taylor, who is pre-diabetic and has hypertension. Despite being high risk for COVID-19, she has not been able to get a room at a hotel leased by Alameda County. Before Elder’s organization helped her get a hotel room, Taylor said it was impossible to follow health recommendations during the pandemic while living in her car.
“We can’t fight a disease with no tools,” Taylor said. “We don’t have the tools to use the bathroom, we don’t have the tools to wash our hands.”
Elder said she has heard from others who declined hotel rooms because they were worried about restrictions on their ability to take essential trips or bring their belongings with them. She said many also are worried that once the crisis is over, they’ll be back out on the streets without their tents and other essential supplies they need to survive.
People who have been unable to get into a hotel room or shelter face additional challenges — the libraries, gyms, coffee shops or other non-essential businesses where before they could shower, use the bathroom or charge their phones, are now closed.
Urton and Elder hope some of these hotels rooms become a permanent part of how governments address the housing crisis. Newsom and San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, who spoke with the governor at Saturday’s event, want to see that happen as well — though they stressed local governments that are now staring down deep budget deficits will need help to pull it off.
“We don’t want these rooms simply opened for a few weeks or a few months,” Liccardo said. “Let’s give counties and cities the dollars they need to purchase motels so we can really aggressively address the homelessness crisis that will be here well beyond the time that this pandemic passes.”
