California's attorney general told state lawmakers on Thursday that he needs more money if he is going to continue fighting President Donald Trump's proposals.

Attorney General Xavier Becerra's current budget was passed before Trump became president last year. He said he's had to juggle his budget to combat the Republican administration's proposals on immigration, the environment, women's rights and other issues.

Sad situation when a state’s “top cop” thinks it’s his job to fight against law enforcement.

Imagine if, say, North Carolina opted to allocate public funds to fight Obama tooth and nail against gender-neutral restrooms.

The press would be screaming for federal troops to storm Raleigh.

He’s going to have to juggle a lot more than just his budget when sanctuary Kalifornica loses its fed dollars.

Guess Eric “The Red” Holder, hired to protect CA from losing their sanctuary city federal handouts, wants a raise.

I thought the Attorney General’s office was on salary, not being paid by the hour. Why more $$$?

You’re never going to get anything but that from Mexico.

He’s not an American. He may have been born in Sacramento, but his loyalty is to Mexico and the Mexicans.

He has no business being in any position of trust in the United States. His job is to rip apart U.S. law enforcement, and allow the Mexican government to dictate laws for the gringos.

Send ICE to deport his la familia, and arrest him for human trafficking.

Oh, that guy again.

“On March 28, 2017, Becerra brought felony charges against anti-abortion activists for their role in the Planned Parenthood 2015 undercover videos controversy. Similar charges against the activists in Texas had been dropped in 2016.[39]”. wiki

It’s getting pretty humorous and ironic when California politicians are clamoring for “States Rights.”

"Protecting and defending California families in this new environment takes a lot more effort"

Is that the new code word for illegal aliens?

He could set up a go fund me site.

It would not be very popular with the elites in California, since they want the rest of us to fund their agendas.

Imagine them putting the money and effort to use improving the lot of average citizens instead of fighting Trump!
