In a stunning display of anti-American defiance, California Governor Gavin Newsom just announced he's throwing $35 million of taxpayer money at protecting illegal immigrants from President Trump's long-overdue mass deportation operations. This is your money, patriots – being used to shield people who broke our laws to get here.
While working families across California struggle with skyrocketing costs and crumbling infrastructure, Newsom has apparently found plenty of cash lying around to fund his radical open-borders agenda. The timing couldn't be more insulting – just three weeks after President Trump was sworn in on a mandate to secure our border and enforce our immigration laws.
This is exactly the kind of lawless resistance we expected from the California swamp. Newsom is essentially declaring war on federal immigration enforcement, using state resources to actively obstruct the will of the American people who voted overwhelmingly for Trump's America First agenda.
Taxpayer-Funded Obstruction of Justice
Think about this for a moment: California can't fix its homeless crisis, can't stop businesses from fleeing the state, and can't provide basic services to legal residents. But somehow they've got $35 million burning a hole in their pocket to help people who shouldn't even be here in the first place?
This isn't compassion – it's a middle finger to every American citizen who follows the rules and pays their taxes. Newsom is literally subsidizing lawbreaking while President Trump is trying to restore order to our immigration system.
The Trump administration has made it crystal clear that mass deportations are a top priority, and rightfully so. Americans voted for secure borders and the rule of law. But California Democrats would rather virtue signal with your hard-earned tax dollars than respect the democratic process.
How long will California taxpayers tolerate their governor using their money to undermine federal law and protect people who cut in line ahead of legal immigrants? This is what happens when radical leftists put ideology over the Constitution – and over the safety and prosperity of their own citizens.
