An estimated 400,000 illegal immigrants entered California from 2021 to 2023 as overall population grew by just 20,000
Former Rep. Katie Porter, a Democratic candidate in California’s crowded gubernatorial primary, is facing backlash after saying illegal immigrants are driving population growth in the state, a claim long advanced by Republicans.
"The job of the California governor is to protect every single Californian," Porter said after being asked if she would work with federal authorities to deport illegal immigrants at Tuesday's California gubernatorial debate.
"The sanctuary state policy is designed to make sure that our state resources — the taxpayer dollars, the public servants that we have — are focusing on doing their jobs, which is not cooperating with the federal immigration authorities.

"These are Californians. They contribute to our economy. They pay taxes. And they’re one of the only ways that our state has been growing in recent years," Porter said of illegal immigrants.
Gunther Eagleman, a popular right-wing X account, accused Porter of saying "the quiet part out loud" by stating that illegal immigrants have mitigated population decline in California.
"Katie Porter accidentally admits out loud that Californians are fleeing California and are being replaced by imported illegals," conservative influencer account LibsofTikTok posted on X.
Republicans, including President Donald Trump, have accused Democrats of resisting efforts to deport illegal immigrants because it could cost them seats in the House of Representatives. Illegal immigrants counted by the Census help determine...

The only reason the illegals were counted in the last census was because Trump was the one who asserted that they should not be counted. Roberts actually admitted that in so many words.
Cigna, Aetna and United Health are leaving ACA by the end of the year. Will the Dems promise to punish these health insurance providers?
Popcorn, anyone?
Count my family as among the ones that will be replaced by imported illegals (and in our neighborhood by H1Bs). We have been here for 5 generations but will be outta here in a year as soon as my oldest graduates. Tired of commie rule.
“These are Californians. They contribute to our economy. They pay taxes.”
Not really, Katie. The suck up more tax revenue in state & local revenue per capita. Little education and few marketable skills. What are they qualified to do? Beside voting “D” I mean.
I HAVE DONE PAYROLLS IN CALIF.
THEY TURN IN A W-4 with 8 OR 9 DEPENDENTS.THEY PAY NO INCOME TAXES AT ALL.
I GOT A NEW HIRE W-4 FROM AN 18 YEAR OLD MALE-—WAS FILLED OUT :Single-9
I REFUSED IT.
LOCATION MANAGER SAID “HE IS SENDING $$$ BACK TO FAMILY IN MEXICO.
I READ HIM CHAPTER & VERSE THE FACT THAT THOSE OUT OF COUNTRY DEPENDENTS DO NOT COUNT IN THE USA.
I PUT HIM INTO THE SYSTEM AT S-1. AFTER 2 WEEKS OF NO COOPERATION WITH MANAGER.
THEY ARE STEALING FAR MORE IN SNAP & OTHER BENEFITS THAN THEY EVER ‘PAY IN TAXES”.
Illegals are not Californians just because they are physically there. If I go into a different state, I do not become a resident of that state. If I go to a different country, I do not become a citizen of that country.
Insanity.
They should give every single American (documented!) 10 or 20 years of free health care just as punishment for collaborating in the CoVid crime...
I run 5 or 7 exemptions always. Keeps me from loaning the government money for free. This year was the first year I didn’t owe anything and got some back from both stealing entities (FED/State).
There used to be mention of how much of the illegals earnings left the country. I haven’t paid much attention to the complicated
impact of such things since President Trump secured our borders. Does the government still track such things?
Porter is a terminal dumbass. Hang her next to Jayapal from the sour apple tree and then tax the hell out of her family.
I bet the internet didn’t really erupt. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was less than 1/2 of a percent of Americans, and virtually no one outside the country, is even aware this story exists. It is almost certain they never will.
I also wager that I never hear nor think about it again.
Would democrats claim anyone who walks in to Mexico is a Mexican?
“Would democrats claim anyone who walks in to Mexico is a Mexican?”
Excellent point. Try entering Mexico illegally and see what happens to you.
And they expect us to confirm our society to them.
Nope, they would not.
Thank You for your post. You told of a method used by “illegals” to steal from our nation.
