There SHOULD be a massive federal response because California spent all the citizen money on illegals and their children.
Americans being burned alive in their homes because of a fire caused by neglect and ideology? No biggie! They were just gringos anyway! THAT is the position of the so-called “American” government in this state.
The fed ought to respond to the extent it is responsible for damage. So long as the Left is bailed out local voters will not feel a need to vote them out of office. I.e., American taxpayers elsewhere in the nation are financing the Left's growth.
At this point, perhaps the only way, or at least the most economical way to save California is to let it fail under its own weight.
I think they are seen as kulaks who stole the land from the peaceful, agrarian natives and - come the Revolution - they would have had those homes taken away by the State, anyway.
