Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to assist illegal migrants in California is sparking calls to reevaluate the state’s share of federal funding. The draft proposal, known as the “Immigrant Support Network Concept,” seeks to create hubs to support migrants facing deportation. Under the plan, these hubs would provide legal aid and connect migrants to schools and community resources. The California Department of Social Services would distribute state funds to nonprofits to manage operations and cover expenses.
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.

The state receives over $100 billion annually from federal taxpayers, leading critics to question why federal dollars should subsidize California’s defiance of national immigration policies. The plan’s exact cost remains unknown as lawmakers work to secure funding.
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.

While federal data indicates 7.8 million illegal migrants in the U.S., others argue the true number could approach 20 million. This wide gap has fueled heated debates over the accuracy of immigration data. California’s approach sets a potential precedent for how blue states may counter federal immigration enforcement in the coming years.
