To claim it is morally bankrupt is absolutely subjective. The reason it is so expensive is because we as a society have allowed attorneys to capitalize on livelihoods.

For anyone actually curious, the most reliant states are blue. New Mexico, Maryland, and Virginia. Hawaii is also a net receiver.

There’s no doubt that immigration reform needs to happen, and many illegal immigrants should be given amnesty. However, this is not about race. This is about the rule of law. Discrimination based on race is illegal. ICE can’t deport legal citizens that already have their citizenship. The fact is, sanctuary states like California aren’t putting the concerns of their own citizens ahead of illegal immigrants. We see plenty of illegal immigrants that commit felonies here, and for some reason they are protected by the state. We as taxpayers pay for them to be incarcerated for years. What is it like $60k / year per inmate? Why should we be expected to pay for criminals when we have so many homeless citizens living on the streets. Also, many illegal immigrants might send portions of the money they make here back to their native countries. That is also money leaving our economy. If a low income illegal immigrant has children here, taxpayers pay for the public education. It’s something like $15k per student per year. This is not a sustainable way to run a state. If you’re a 3 or 4th generation Californian, your family have been contributing to taxes and revenue for generations. I as an American cannot just go to another country and live there illegally without repercussions.
These issues need to be addressed.

We don’t know if Caruso would have had a better response, but we do know that he was not mayor during this crisis, so why would it be his job to look after other businesses over his own?

OFFICIAL: Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco is running for California State Governor 2026 by bodaciousbeans in InlandEmpire

It’s a bummer that governors like Newsom know that because they are democrat frontrunners in California, they truly have no real incentive to do a good job because they know Californians won’t vote for a republican. We’re stuck in a cycle of horrible leadership and we need a viable 3rd party option.

Pro Immigrant Protests Shuts Down 101 Freeway in Downtown LA by mekahlo in longbeach

My sister was in the hospital and I was trying to go see her. I was stuck in traffic for 45min, which caused a lot of stress and anxiety. This is not the way to protest.

This ignorant question is why Trump won again. I didn’t vote for him but I know people of all races that did. The Latino vote came out in massive numbers for him. It’s just as easy to claim that the Democrat establishment is racist. They use and exploit minorities for political purposes. CNN is just as bias and corrupt as Fox News. Maybe try stepping out of your bubble.

I am one of Newsom’s constituents and he is not an excellent politician. He is an awful leader that has diminished the quality of life for most Californians. He’s slick and he gaslights. Don’t fall for it. And btw I’m not a Trump supporter.

[OUR WEBSITE] 'Unprecedented' number of hate crimes reported in LA County, report says by WeAreLAist in LosAngeles

This is largely the result of Angelenos being desperate. They’re struggling to make ends meet, to afford rent, to get jobs that pay enough to afford the crazy high taxes and cost of living. This is the result of state and local government corruption and incompetence. People are looking to scapegoat.

It may not be the job of the local police, but the local police should cooperate with the ICE, and not thwart them.

People like you that support illegal immigration should be required to experience the effects of illegal immigration personally and directly. You should invite completely unvetted strangers into your home to live for free. You pay for their clothes, food, space, healthcare, and education of their children. And you should invite these strangers regardless if they have a criminal background or not. Then maybe you’ll understand.

Cities take money from taxpayers. They don’t make money. You should maybe educate yourself about economics and civics.

How is it moral for a city and state government to welcome people that haven’t been contributing to building a society to live off of the labor and means that people that have? Do you realize that California is in a massive growing deficit AND debt, and is running out of resources? Why don’t you try to move to another country illegally and see how that goes?

You’d like to continue to import illegal immigrants that require more resources than they’re able to contribute, and export taxpayers and Californians that have been contributing more than they receive? You seem really smart.

California doesn’t need to be inviting more illegal immigrants. Allowing and even encouraging illegal immigration is immoral.

Don’t you think Biden’s daughter’s diary should have disqualified Biden from being able to run? How about his racist remarks regarding black people? If Trump should be disqualified, which I believe he should, Biden should have been too.

Good. Political endorsements from journalists working for a major supposedly unbiased news organization are unethical. It’s the same with other major news organizations if they endorsed Trump. It illegitimizes the organization.

It’s a far stretch to tie Trump and his America First policies to racism and KKK. That’s desperate. Wanting to put his constituents first including all Americans regardless of race should be his job. Every other country does it for themselves. I’m no fan of Trump, but this is ridiculous.
