Gov. Gavin Newsom’s efforts to support illegal migrants in California have raised questions about the state’s reliance on federal dollars. The “Immigrant Support Network Concept” would establish hubs to help migrants access legal and community resources.
CA Gov. Gavin Newsom knows his political future hinges on making the progressive left happy.
His nefarious and illegal plan to put illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens is nothing more than an appeal to open-border zealots.

These hubs, funded by state resources, would connect individuals with schools, legal aid, and local organizations. Nonprofits would manage the day-to-day operations under the guidance of the California Department of Social Services.
Governor Newsom 60 Billion in the hole. Every principality that defies Trump will see their funding disappear. Newsom is gambling with California's future. Prioritizing illegals over citizens.

California receives over $100 billion in federal funding each year, prompting critics to argue that states defying federal immigration policies should see their funding reduced. Details on the migrant assistance plan’s budget remain uncertain.

President Donald Trump has prioritized deporting violent offenders but has made clear that immigration laws apply to all who entered the U.S. illegally. Families with U.S.-born children will not be exempt from enforcement, according to border czar Tom Homan.
Federal figures estimate 7.8 million illegal migrants are living in the U.S., though others suggest the total may exceed 20 million. These competing statistics add complexity to an already divisive issue.
The Biden administration has been selling border wall materials ahead of Trump’s return to office, an action drawing criticism from immigration enforcement advocates.
