On Monday evening, California Governor Jerry Brown said all Mexicans, including illegal immigrants, are welcome in California.
According to the Los Angeles Times, while introducing Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, who said America is "the other Mexico," Brown "spoke about the interwoven histories of Mexico and California." He "nodded to the immigrants in the room, saying it didn't matter if they had permission to be in the United States."
"You're all welcome in California," Brown reportedly said.
Brown has made California a sanctuary state by signing the Trust Act, giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. He has also expanded financial aid to illegal immigrants by signing the California DREAM Act. Peña Nieto reportedly "thanked state officials for embracing foreigners citing measures that extend state benefits to immigrants."
Even during the border crisis, Brown reportedly vowed "to find ways to shorten long waits at the Tijuana-San Diego international border crossing," saying, "If we can put a man on the moon, we can put a man from Mexico to California in 20 minutes."
In 2012, 28% of Californians were born outside the United States, according to The New York Times. Hispanic voters reportedly "made up 19.2% of California voters" in 2010. And according to Pew Research, Latinos make up nearly 40% of the state's population and have made California "only the second state, behind New Mexico, where whites are not the majority and Latinos are the plurality."

My cousin has owned a small business in CA for over 30 years....he’s leaving this year. Say goodbye to him & his hard-working family, and oh, those 25 people that work for him, out of work.
Im trying to get wifey to let go of this area, ie. Lib central south bay california.
NO Republican is represented. A two way DemRat race..
Whom does Moonbeam back? Honda or Khanna?
I guess Hawaii is an outside shot,
Wifey is native born,, with birth certificate.
:-)
I realize that will hit a state like Texas particularly hard but in the long run its worth it because states like California, Illinois, and NY will get over their love of illegals in a big hurry if there is nothing to be gained from them.
That’s a difficult position....don’t want to get the wife made at you:) Perhaps move up to Oregon or Washington ? She will still be close to home.
Texas must fight it tooth and nail. They should offer to pay for transportation to Gov. Brown's house of all illegals in Texas...
Let Moonbeam put his State Taxpayer's money where his mouth is!
Hill toot that horn as long as he can confiscate the wealth of locals to bring in new voting Democrats.
Maybe that is the pebble that starts the avalanche. I notice lots of people are for all sorts of costly things the government does until it starts coming out of their pocket. Then it's a different story indeed.
It would definitely make me feel warm and fuzzy all over if Moonbeam's mansion gets surrounded by angry Americans who don't want to pay for HIS hospitality to illegals who don't pay taxes!
Just got back from Europe and the end results of socialism is taxation on even the poor through purchases of anything.
$12 gas, all taxes.
Things costs 300% more their due to all taxes.
IMO that is where big government wants to take us.
another politician violating his oath of office. And he’ll easily be re-elected.
I’ll restate a pet theory:
Some day, not long from now, we’ll wake up to CA radio stations declaring southern CA secession. The sheer number & will of supporters will completely cower or drive out dissenters.
And under this POTUS, they’ll get away with it: a grand show of force will but establish & secure the new border. Warding off a repeat of Ft. Sumter, any bases therein will be emptied and troops withdrawn in a tense but ultimately submissive standoff.
I can see their campfires along the American river now.
Put a fence around it.
I spent 20+ wonderful years there, before it turned into MinorityLand. So sad.
