In
California, Illegals Come First; Californians Don't Matter
10
June, 2019
The
number of homeless
Californians in the Los Angeles county has reached 58,936, New
York Times reported this weekend.
But
Californians don’t seem to be the priority of democratic governor
Gavin Newsom.
Under
an agreement between Gov. Newsom and Democrats in the state
legislature, low-income adults between the ages of 19 and 25 livingin California illegally would be eligible for California’s Medicaidprogram, known as Medi-Cal.
This
decision will make California the first state in the US to pay for
illegal immigrants to have full health benefits.
Democrats
in the state legislature reached the agreement as part of a larger
plan to spend $213bn of state and federal tax money over the next
year.
Not
everyone in that age group would get the health benefits, only those
whose incomes are low enough to qualify for the program.
Here is an anecdote from Paul Preston to illustrate the lack of care of the . California government for its own citizens.I do not believe this to be a partisan issue - one just needs to look at Trump's reaction to the hurricane in Puerto Rico or what are obviously inhuman holding facilities for migrant children.
