Hey Cal Chamber, how do you feel about your endorsement of Xavier Becerra for Governor now?
“Candidate for California Governor Xavier Becerra is prioritizing illegal immigrants over legal residents’ investment in brick and mortar businesses. Every policy he actually addresses favors people who are here illegally,” the Globe noted on X.

In June, the Cal Chamber announced they were endorsing Xavier Becerra in the November general election for governor. Immediately I pictured the Cal Chamber board of directors cowering under their conference room table.
The California Business & Industrial Alliance (CABIA) even took out a full-page ad in the California Post that slammed the California Chamber of Commerce’s misguided endorsement of Xavier Becerra for Governor, the Globe reported.
The ad highlights that the Cal Chamber endorsed Becerra for Governor alongside Big Labor, including the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and United Food & Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW). It’s a slap in the face to California business owners who have been targeted by harmful union-backed policies like the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) and a $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers.
The ad points out that even former president Joe Biden didn’t endorse “Embarrassment” Becerra after his incompetent tenure in the Biden administration.
Isn’t the California Chamber of Commerce “the largest broad-based business advocate to government in California, working at the state and federal levels for policies to strengthen California?” Don’t they work hard “to make sure lawmakers and regulators hear about the impact of proposals on business and the state’s economy?”
Becerra may have thought he was being cute when he said “If you’re in California and want a street taco, I have one piece of advice: Look for the little street cart. That’s where you’ll find the real thing.”
Becerra is promoting illegal immigrants and their taco carts, over restaurant owners operated and owned by legal residents who pay taxes, pass health inspections, hire employees, pay for insurance, Workers Comp, pay into the EDD, federal income tax, FICA taxes (Social Security + Medicare), California state income tax, and State Disability Insurance.
“This is how you show your ‘solidarity’ to immigrants? Really? If you care so much about immigrants, maybe we should discuss your time at HHS, Xavier,” Steve Hilton replied.
You're mad because something was addressed as it's called on a menu?

Taco carts are unregulated vendors who skip permits and safety standards, and in doing so, undermine legitimate businesses – and possibly your gastrointestinal system.
Taco carts and trucks often park illegally, in front of other businesses, and are not subject to health inspections. Who knows where the food is made, or how clean or not the cart operator is.
The backlash against Becerra underscores tensions in many cities across California over street vending, where carts lack permits amid ongoing debates between cultural authenticity and mandatory business compliance.
Unsurprisingly, Becerra has not directly responded as the discussion continues.
“Cal Chamber going along with Becerra is learned helplessness, given that California has the worst business climate,” Candidate Steve Hilton said in June at a press conference in response to the Cal Chamber’s endorsement. “It’s a display of utter cowardice on behalf of the Cal Chamber.”
Any governor of California must represent all citizens, business owners, employees, vendors and workers. Becerra has made clear many times recently that his priority are those who are in the state illegally. And that should infuriate every legal California resident.
As Spencer Pratt commented, “The next Governor of CA just told everyone to avoid CA Mexican restaurants like Tito’s Tacos and Don Antonio’s and instead go to an illegal street vendor who doesn’t pay taxes nor follow any health codes. And he thought ‘yeah let’s post that on main.'”
“CA is so screwed.”
Should we turn California into a third world hell hole in exchange for street tacos on every corner? Xavier Becerra already told us his preference.

When I visited California in the mid-60s there where street vendor everywhere. It was really nice not having to go to a grocery store all the time.
GPT summary:
Here’s a neutral summary of the article:
* The article criticizes California gubernatorial candidate **Xavier Becerra** over comments encouraging people to seek out street taco carts, arguing that he is favoring unlicensed street vendors and undocumented immigrants over licensed restaurant owners.

The article notes that another business group, the **California Business & Industrial Alliance (CABIA)**, publicly opposed the endorsement.
* The author argues that licensed restaurants bear significant regulatory and tax burdens—including permits, inspections, payroll taxes, workers’ compensation, and insurance—while alleging that many street vendors operate without meeting the same requirements.
* The piece highlights criticism from political opponents, including **Steve Hilton**, who accused Becerra of prioritizing undocumented immigrants and questioned his record as Secretary of Health and Human Services. It also quotes commentator **Spencer Pratt**, who argued that Becerra’s remarks discourage patronizing licensed Mexican restaurants.

Hell in another 50 yrs or so street vendors will
be without carts to push around or serve from.
Food as we know it today will become a thing of
the past and humans will be taking pills/liquids
for nourishment. Forget the farmers, etc. Now
the Small vendors such ice cream, candy, pop
corn, etc will still mixed with the crowd. The
nourishment will be from pills, liquids, etc.
Ice Cream, cakes, pies, cookies, etc won’t be
the treat as we know them to be today. JMO
I’ll dead and creamated way before this comes
into being but others will enjoy the change.
Heck things like toilet paper will become a
thing of the past. No need to poop and wipe.
Want need as many trees as we have today.
Xavier Becerra is a criminal who has been let off too many times by his criminal colleagues in the DC cabal and the criminals in law enforcement. If you think Newsom is bad, just wait and see how destructive a Governor Becerra is going to be. This puke belongs in PRISON!
“becerra” = heifer.
Then stop eating there!
