In recent years, California policy makers have provided undocumented immigrants access to driver’s licenses, in-state tuition, university grants, student loans and professional licenses

With its record $214.8 billion budget, California has become the first state in the U.S. to expand government-subsidized health care for some adult immigrants living in the country illegally, the latest example of the state forging its own path on policies related to immigration.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom—whose party holds sizable majorities in the state legislature following the 2018 midterm elections—has signaled he would sign the state’s new spending plan, which amounts to a 7% increase over 2019’s budget. That funding...

RavenHawk4 And it’s wrong

And voting registration when they get licenses.

Sadly, the empty promises of a socialist agenda are turning this beautiful state into a human wasteland RealityCheck

The driver license is not because of driving but because of voting.

And along with the drivers licenses comes automatic voter registration under the Motor Voter Law. Can you say voter fraud?

NO FEDERAL FUNDS TO STATE OF CALIFORNIA WHICH SUPPORTS ILLEGAL ALIENS AND/OR SANCTUARY CITIES. 🇺🇸AMERICA FIRST🇺🇸

No problem. So if one of us goes to Mexico to live we will be treated the same?

When the streets are filled with filth and disease the liberals will flee to another state and infect it with stupid. The press was supposed to expose all this idiocy 10 years ago, but the press has become the liberal PR firm selling this nonsense with personal interest stories.

Of course they do, they also supply their tax paying citizens with streets full of feces. Hooray for California!

Insanity

Way to go Cali! Just think at the same time they manage to run one of world's largest economy's! Turns out helping people actually helps!

'undocumented immigrants'? Seriously? No. Illegal aliens.

At a HUGE cost!

Must be okay with the majority of voting Californians then.🤷🏻‍♀️ Remind me how many undocumented workers were employed by POTUS?🤔 Fear-baiting, greedy hypocrites.🙄 Democrats2020💙🇺🇸

What they won’t be getting is a subscription to the WSJ.

Sacrifice the California 'American' citizens for votes. Plain and simple fact.

So stupid!

Once a great state during the era of Deukmejian and Reagan. Two great republicans whose work has been destroyed by libtards.

I think it’s called socialism 😂😂😂

All very good reasons to vote GOP

This isn't some great news. Commercial instruments are for profit documents.

May God bless California

Actually, Ca has a 21 billion dollar surplus. And the health care is extended to WORKING illegal immigrants 26yearbd and younger. I wish people would read

Dims know how to mess a really good thing up. Born and raised CA getting the hell out in August and taking my taxpayer dollars with me. Good luck paying for all your “free” sh.t in your third world country dumbAzzes

Nice!

This guy is a real jerk............ Why cant he be more concerned about the homeless issue in CA. Pretty face ....... no brains!

And next, California will need a bailout by the federal government. Maybe that is the plan

Give California back to the Mexico

humans helping other human beings... 😱more news at 11

How many homeless US citizens in CA? Where’s the outrage? Crickets...

California is doomed

Then why are their residents living on the streets, defecating and urinating on the streets and doing drugs on the streets.

Strip them of Electoral Votes. Simple solution.

A SHITHOLE STATE

Hoping for that earthquake to separate California and it can float out to sea...

However, it’s obviously an issue if handouts are given to non-citizens before they see their own taken care of, and it’s hard for me to not see that POV even if I, myself am compassionate towards the undocumented community.

racists. Those citizens who feel that way have a legitimate grievance, and I feel that’s where the dem party loses people. They lose people when they fail to see people first want to see their families okay, once that’s under control they find themselves in a more caring place.

whether or not the Democratic Party wants to admit it. If citizens in Cali who are struggling begin asking why my tax money is going to undocumented people, when my meds are still 200 and it still takes me a full 3 hours to get to work. Those individuals should not be called

there are better ways than giving free healthcare to these individuals. I will say it could eventually become a possibility, but not until my documented citizens were comfortable enough to help others. Right now many can barely afford to help themselves, and that’s a problem

Why is this a thing? Let’s put the people who are cheating the system first, ahead of our everyday citizens priorities. Major head scratcher as to why they think this is a smart political play or even a smart idea in general.

don’t have money to pay for their care that money still has to come from somewhere, because hospitals need to be recouped somehow. It comes from the American people, and I understand how this can become an issue within states with large undocumented populations. But I feel

immigrants when I see my citizens struggling from drug addiction. With that being said, I do feel something needs to be done when it comes to the care of undocumented immigrants. Many undocumented immigrants seek assistance within emergency rooms and health clinics, if they

Unreal

This is a bit much and where I, myself draw the line. It would be hard for me if I ever became a gov to give undocumented immigrants the right to free healthcare, when I see American vets still homeless within my state. It would be hard for me to give healthcare to undocumented

If the state has fiscal issues, look no further.

Yet another way for LaLa land to convince the middle class residents to move out of the state; CA is soon to be the land of the rich and illegal immigrants, no one else! AND no more federal funds from our taxes!

Why do we pay for foreigners when the state is bankrupt and we have thousands living in tents on our streets? Shame on the California Democrats that have ruined this state.

So long Cali. Nice knowing you.

And let’s them vote.... total election fraud on a massive scale

Taxed vexed shaken, no dissuading.

they deserve what they get

Keep up the good work Californiacrazy

That’s why they are politician and not civil servants. The ignore the alarming issues internally while utilize popular topics to gain their exposure. GavinNewsom CAGovOps you failed us.

Montezuma’s revenge.

Meanwhile, several red states are tightening access to healthcare for *actual* citizens...

Who in the hell is paying for all this! I’ll tell you hard working middle class California’s ! Sickening

Nobody likes CA except for CA

This guy is the biggest con man . Ya state is doing great keep it up

Meanwhile actual legal Americans are living in tents

Why I don’t live in that Statre. It’s become a socialist country!

Was it before or after they raised benefits for veterans....

Well, wait until they come in drones. This is just inviting more and more. Ask New Mexico, a smaller, poorer state, they are already suffering under the influx.

welfarestate & superpower & freemarkets & fighting climatechange & preferring illegal migration ( long legal lines of the best heads will disappear soon if they got a better offer from third powers): California & America forget policy is Not an AllYouCanEat buffet.

It’s better to put them and their children in concentration camps? California at least has a heart.

That’s why it’s a shithole

And yet they have thousands of US homeless citizens- some of them veterans-sleeping on the streets of LA and SF! You would think that one would first take care of its own nationals before extending generosity to illegal immigrants?

We have federal immigration laws that Congress passed,.yes they are still on the books.If you don't like the laws than change them.Why have any visas.Why obey any law.

Its like foreign intervention doesnt exist to democrats

Illegal means legal in California , they need the votes

all of which, naturally, triggers racists

Is California exempt from federal law? Well then, they should be exempt from federal funds.

He wants to be president!

So where you from masked man?😐

California takes much better care of illegal people then it’s own citizens

👀

Oh gee, and in spite of being 329 billion dollars in debt they're doing all that stuff while 300 thousand homeless people 30, thousand of whom are Vets, are starving, sick, and dying on they're streets. CronyCapitalismatWork

HEALTHCARE IS ESSENTIAL ONE SICK PERSON CAN INFECT THOUSANDS

A law abiding international student with f1 Visa has to pay a foreigner tuition six time higher. Ironic.

At the same time,a Michigan student has to pay high outstate tuition. a law-abiding international student has to pay high foreigner tuition. ironic.

Good, all illegal migrants from Europe should be sent to California. I doubt if the migrants will complain. Think of all the rich diversity this will bring and enrich an otherwise a wholly white state. I understand Rohingya and many jihadis from Syria are looking forwardr a home.

So—California wants drivers and professionals to be competent and properly licensed? And people generally to pursue education? Amazing.

The hospitals have to be federally funded in some capacity, whether it be reimbursement or other. So my question would be, under federal policies, how is this legal and will these medical facilities be reimbursed for illegal immigrants?

No wonder the state is going down the tubes. Why aren't they taking care of the homeless who litter their streets?

How does ANYBODY, from unctuous GavinNewsom SenFeinstein and SpeakerPelosi to a single disinterested CA. voter look at this and NOT think it’s UTTER INSANITY❓ For God’s sake-What is wrong with “you people”?

And it is the very reason why California will continue to turn into the slums of America. What was once a great state is very literally a complete shit hole now.

And has gone from 7 economy in the world 🌎 to 6 to currently 5. Soon 4? Somethings working.

Just like Mexican president will do with all undocumented immigrants now

Yeah! They should be putting them in cages or concentration camps instead! Right, Rupert? Keep spreading the hate by giving just one side of the story.

Democrat only leadership brings higher taxes, less services, soaring debt and destruction.

Next? AdultAbortions in California?

(insert dramatic Halloween scream *here)

Also California

And many of use are pissed

This is why California is turning into a cesspool and will be a one party Socialist state forever.

This is one of the many reasons there has been a net migration out of California for the last several years. The state is broken and one party leadership is destroying the once great state. Sky high taxes, billions in unfunded pension liability, crumbling roads. Thanks Democrats

Screw the taxpayers

I don’t mean to insult anyone but you really have to wonder who actually voted for these politicians

Trust me, there is no 'Free Lunch'!!!!

And just this week, free Healthcare for illegals. Meanwhile US citizens are homeless and sleeping on the streets all over this damn State. The Democratic run State Legislator and the Democratic Governor are turning this State into a true shithole. I watch it get worse daily.

America really needs to just set that toxic dump loose and let go it’s own “progressive” way to ruin.

Sounds like they’re documented 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

California politicians hate Americans and refuse to help the homeless,fix the schools, make reasonable housing and tax its residents the most taxes in the US. But they will gladly spend tax payers money helping others

This jag off is picture perfect for what’s going on out here. We are absolutely importing poverty at an alarming rate. We now have diseases breaking out because of the filth..

It’s absolute BS!!! I can’t make ends meet & owe a ton of student loan money!! But let’s give Illegals Free Everything!!!!? WTAF!!! realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr GregAbbott_TX

watching California evolve into a third world country!

Kinda makes the citizenship thing pointless.

What do they have to do to get the war they want?

If you're illegal, you get treated better than a tax-paying citizen in California.

Must be why the Public Policy Institute of California recent poll shows Democratic state Legislature is less popular among California voters than President Trump?

While people live on the streets and catch typhus.
