While I believe California is largely infested by liberals (actual citizens) in their heavily populated areas of SF, Oakland, LA, etc., tying an ambiguous ‘poor’ connotation to an even more ambiguous description of ‘the group’ is even more specious. I’d be willing to be, a majority of the ‘Californians’ they say are ‘poor’ are, in fact, illegal aliens - undeserving of any public welfare.
If they are starving here, then go the hell home. We don’t want you here. You add no value to our stewpot.
obama needs those votes.
