Another absurd and destructive leftist social-engineering policy paid for with bubble-money from our massive debt and unbacked, manipulated fiat Federal Reserve dollars
I’m assuming CA’s water, fire, power, and infrastructure problems have been solved?
health care to immigrants living in the state illegally
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Illegal aliens are not immigrants
Agreed.
I hate the way the California government will poor mouth after a disaster and turn around and do stupid sea wrap like this.
So here it finally comes.
1994 — Prop 187, voted in by 59% of the electorate
1996 — Richard De Leon leads the illegal alien war to overturn 187 and Mariana Pfaelzer agrees, issuing an injunction against most of 187 with the battle cry of “a state cannot make an immigration law”
1999 — Gray Davis refuses to appeal Pfaelzer’s ruling and instead turns it over the arbitration panel of the Ninth Circuit where his guys - who oppose 187 — negotiate with De Leon’s guys — who oppose 187 — and they all agree...don’t appeal to the SCOTUS, just ignore 187!
Fast Forward 18 years and — Presto! — a state CAN make an immigration law, as long as it benefits illegal aliens! Brought to you by....drum roll please...Richard De Leon, the illegal who told us 21 years ago that this was Un-Constima-Tushonial.
I do so love having the citizens of Mexico tell us what our Constitution means.
I hear that they plan of paying for it with solar energy. No hay problema.
Go for it, leftturds...pretty ballsy for a state overrun with “takers”, will rapidly losing “makers”.
Fools.
If they are in the state illegally, they are NOT immigrants.
This crap is so Orwellian.
What about the homeless problem?
So California brags plenty of revenues to support idea of California Medicaid for illegal immigrants on one hand, but still not enough money from recent gas tax increases to pay for road repairs on the other hand.
California Considers Placing A Mileage Tax On Drivers
What am I overlooking about California?
Why just them? Why not all peoples of the world? Are they that stingy?
"Established in 1965, Medicaid is a joint federal-state program that provides comprehensive health benefits to low income people. As an entitlement program, it currently has no caps on spending or enrollment so that anyone who meets eligibility criteria can receive benefits.
The federal government covers at least half of the total financing for the program through matching funds... In addition, states ensure compliance with federal regulation

My mother who has lived and worked in California for the last 3/4 century now looks to being placed in a nursing home. If she were on MediCal (Medicaid) all of her expenses would be picked up by the state. But because her Soc. Security and pension bring her nearly $2000 per month, she doesn’t qualify. She’s too rich. Her care will come out of her pocket. But someone who is here illegally does qualify. Pisses me off.
How will Mexicans rule CA once they become the political majority? (coming soon)
We may soon need to build a wall around California as they will be an even bigger magnet for illegal aliens.
What's not to like?
Just another way the lawmakers and unions get to sit around the table and decide how to spend tax payer monies.
They do the same for schools.
That billion dollars only is intended to cover 2 million illegals.
Considering they already drain legal residents for over 10 billion a year in general services; including but not limited to education,health,prisons, etc., what a deal.
makes them strawberries and grapes melt in your mouth, huh?
