Teddy Kennedy started the charade. I think we are stuck with tens of millions of illegals nomatter how hard the MAGA era tries to get them out.
Regarding California, enforcement should be focused on the cartels and the like.
No federal funds for California because they refuse to cooperate.
They'll have to wait until the next Democratic President to get the federal funds back but it may not be until 2032 or 2036 until that happens.
Not if you put a bounty on their head. 100$ for every illegal ratted out. Easy money.
