"Your letter seeks federal dollars for California from hardworking American taxpayers but fails to admit that your State and local policies have played a major role in the current crisis," Sec. Carson wrote in a letter responding to the leaders.

The letter also blames California's sanctuary policies, saying "illegal and inadmissible aliens are increasing housing demand and draining resources," and says the Trump administration is addressing the problem by improving border security to reduce drug use. "The Trump administration is doing its part," Carson writes in the final part of the letter. "California needs to address the obvious local issues within its control to help address this catastrophe. When California has shown that it is willing to make hard and thoughtful choices to address these issues, the Trump Administration stands ready to support its efforts."

Trump is absolutely right.
Newsome and the Lamestream Media however get what they wanted.
Homeless camps are now TRUMP’S FAULT as far as the official narrative is concerned.

I love this President.

Best news I’ve read all day!
President Trump should tell the people how much money each state is wasting on illegal immigrants. He should do this every time he speaks about illegal immigration. The criminal politicians in CT are putting in tolls and putting new taxes on food. I think most people are tired of their money being confiscated for illegal immigrants. They just need to hear the right message and facts.
California needs a supply-side solution to the cost of housing— end restrictive zoning barriers to housing construction, stop jacking-up its cost by environmental restrictions, and end the war on landlords that keeps rental property off the market.
That was and would’ve been the narrative anyway. It always is with the Left. For once we have a Repub who doesn’t cower and try to appease them! I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.
You made your bed Commies. Now lie in it.
Oh and since its a one party state, we all know exactly who to blame.
“You created the problem, you own the problem”
I met a girl that told me she lived on a porch in California (before she left). And I always thought Rockford was roughing it!
Whoa, boy, could any one IMAGINE that CA could possibly kick off a Renaissance of the 9th/10th?
“Pres. Trump denied our request, so we are not sending any CA tax $ to D.C.” *DOH!*
Great team!
Thank you President Trump and Secretary Carson!
California ought to develop a way to make human feces into a ‘sustainable’ energy resource... that would solve all their problems. :)
Anyone who thinks the homeless/bum issue has ANYTHING to do with “affordable housing” is just as mentally ill as those who are on the streets today.
It’s 100% about mental illness, drugs and alcohol.
That’s the whole story. There is nothing else.
And lawlessness.
[Carson's letter] adds that California has not applied for federal funding to add more beds in psychiatric hospitals to provide services for individuals that need services for mental illness or grave disability.
We all know they don't want to "fix" anything. They just was more of everybody else's money to pay off their communist and illegal voting blocs.
But but California has a 30 billion dollar surplus/rainy day funds. Pound sand...and I live here.

Exactly
Spending huge sums of unaccountable and uncontrolled money on people with no address and anonymous backgrounds is the perfect way for politicos and public servants to graft and grift to steal public money.
Lots of California public officials are getting illegal and under the table money from these unaccountable homeless programs
