While many of the 900-plus migrants who arrived in L.A. from Republican states quickly integrated into the community, the few dozen who went to Sacramento found an under-resourced support system.

“While the governors of Florida and Texas have decided to play politics with human lives, our state has decided to take a compassionate approach towards individuals who are in need of care,” said Assembly member Wendy Carrillo, a Democrat from Los Angeles. “For me, it’s about coming together as a state to recognize the humanity of people, and treating them with dignity, rather than engaging in political theatrics.”

It is awesome to hear that Los Angeles has solved its homeless problem. Illegals are pouring into LA and it is no problem as no one is living on the city's streets. I understand that the public schools and medical facilities are just excelling.

Would “Wendy” be saying that if the meegrants were actual refugees like Ukrainians?

We all know the answer

To seek asylum, you must already be in the U.S. and believe you will be in danger of persecution if you return to your country. Learn how to seek asylum and sponsor someone else.

Thank you, GOP governors.
