California’s Migrant Plan Faces Backlash Over Use Of Taxpayer Money
Gov. Gavin Newsom has introduced a draft plan to assist illegal migrants in California as part of an effort to counter President Donald Trump’s strict immigration enforcement. The proposal, called the “Immigrant Support Network Concept,” outlines a framework to protect migrants from deportation. The plan proposes regional hubs to connect individuals with legal aid, schools, and community organizations. These hubs would be managed by the California Department of Social Services and rely on state funds distributed to nonprofits for staffing and outreach.
While the program’s funding details are not finalized, Newsom’s administration is working to secure approval before January 20. “The administration is collaborating with lawmakers to finalize a thoughtful proposal,” spokesperson Theresa Mier said.
CA Gov. Gavin Newsom knows his political future hinges on making the progressive left happy.
His nefarious and illegal plan to put illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens is nothing more than an appeal to open-border zealots.

Critics question the state’s priorities, noting that California receives over $100 billion in federal aid annually while using state funds to oppose federal immigration policies. Some have called for cutting federal support to the state.
Governor Newsom 60 Billion in the hole. Every principality that defies Trump will see their funding disappear. Newsom is gambling with California's future. Prioritizing illegals over citizens.

The Trump administration plans a large-scale deportation effort, focusing first on violent criminals but extending to all individuals living illegally in the U.S. Families with U.S.-born children will also face enforcement, according to border czar Tom Homan.
