California spent $25 billion on entitlements for illegals last year
California spent $25 billion on entitlements for illegals last year, and only budgeted $730 million for water infrastructure.
snip:
The state?s legislatures have vowed to create a ?Sanctuary State.? A day after Trump?s presidential victory, both state houses issued a joint letter that began, ?Today, we woke up feeling like strangers in a foreign land, because yesterday Americans expressed their views on a pluralistic and democratic society that are clearly inconsistent with the values of the people of California.?
Less than three weeks after these displays of political hubris, Governor Brown is now asking the President for disaster relief in the wake of significant rainfall that has led to flooding and mudslides.
?The request could be an early test of relations between the Democrats who run the nation?s largest state and the new Republican administration.
If California?s request is rejected, however, it might be difficult to pin it on a frosty relationship between the governor and the president, said Larry Gerston, professor emeritus of political science at San Jose State. ?It?s an easy claim to make, but a hard one to prove,? he said.
FEMA considers many factors for disaster relief, including the severity of damage and cost, Gerston said. ?It?s a very discretionary call by the president,? he said.
Gerston added that Trump just might reveal his reasoning behind any decision. ?This president is fairly transparent with his feelings,? he said.
