    California to Spend $1 Billion a Year on Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants

    California to Spend $1 Billion a Year on Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants



    December 15, 2017 3:01PM

    It’s never been easier to be a governor in America – all you have to do is look at whatever brilliant ideas the lawmakers in California are coming up with and simply do the opposite.

    Only in a liberal place like Cali can an entire state be plagued with confiscatory taxation, businesses leaving the state at a record pace, billions in debt and unfunded liabilities, excruciatingly slow traffic, and politicians who think the greatest problem their state faces is a lack of bicycle paths.

    Roughly five million citizens have left California in the past decade. The state they were most likely to migrate to? Nearly six-hundred thousand of those five million settled on the same state: Texas.

    That’s pretty impressive when you consider how different the states are politically, but we’ll assume those moving realized it was time for change.

    Perhaps that’s because California’s leadership cares more about their illegal residents than those who actually voted them info office. The sanctuary state is already costing its taxpayers $25 billion annually thanks to the lack of immigration enforcement, and they’re getting ready to roll out even more benefits for their constituents who shouldn’t be there.

    According to NBC San Francisco,

    California will eventually spend $1 billion a year to provide health care to immigrants living in the state illegally under a proposal announced Wednesday by Democratic lawmakers..

    The proposal would eliminate legal residency requirements in California’s Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, as the state has already done for young people up to age 19.

    It’s part of $4.3 billion in new spending proposed by Assemblyman Phil Ting, a San Francisco Democrat who leads the budget committee. They also would commit $3.2 billion more than required to state budget reserves.

    While federal funds cover at least half — and as much 95 percent — of the cost for citizens and legal U.S. residents on Medi-Cal, the state would have to pick up the cost on its own for people living here illegally.

    Imagine trying to sell that to your constituents for a second: “So we’re going to need to shell out an extra $3 billion for this project – oh, and not a single legal citizen of our state will benefit!”
    Only in California.

    But no money for controlled burns and fire control.

    No money to fix your roads and bridges

    No money to build more reservoirs and divert run off during the floods

    No money to rebuild the Dams


    HOW ABOUT NO FEDERAL TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO STATES WHO AID, ABET AND HARBOR ILLEGAL ALIENS!

    ARRESST ALL GOVERNOR'S AND MAYOR'S WHO HAVE SANCTUARY STATES AND CITIES!
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

    DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL
