Gov. Gavin Newsom Spends $2.5B on Wildfire Recovery, $9.5B on Illegal Aliens

Almost a third of California’s budget deficit is illegal alien welfare.

Gov. Gavin Newsom, fresh off securing $50 million to ‘Trump-proof’ California to protect illegal alien criminals, castrating kids and other key policy agendas of his extremist movement, is begging for disaster relief for California.

And while California needs disaster relief, its biggest disaster is Newsom and the rest of his radical movement.

California may not have enough money to help out homeowners after the wildfires caused by Democrat mismanagement of forestry and water resources, but has $9.5 billion for illegal alien health care.

A California budget official revealed this week that taxpayers in the Democrat-run state are paying billions of dollars more on healthcare for illegal immigrants than previously known.

Guadalupe Manriquez, the California Department of Finance program budget manager, told the state Assembly Budget Committee Monday the state is “spending $9.5 billion total funds” to “cover undocumented individuals in Medi-Cal” in the current year.

By contrast, Gov. Newsom hyped a $2.5 billion disaster relief package for Los Angeles after the wildfires. That’s a limited percentage of what the Democrats are spending on illegal alien welfare.
