STATE THROWS $15 MILLION AT OPEN BORDER PROBLEM, CALLS IT 'SUPPORT'

Noozhawk reports the state is splashing out a cool $15 million in the 2026-27 budget for a 'program' offering 'legal assistance' and 'support' to so-called 'unaccompanied immigrant children.' Oh, how progressive! While hardworking Californians are still reeling from the latest gas tax hike and wondering if their public schools will ever get real funding, our esteemed leaders in Sacramento are busy playing legal eagle for those who've, shall we say, bypassed the traditional entry points.

One has to wonder if 'legal assistance' for these children includes advice on how to navigate California's labyrinthine social services system, which undoubtedly will be next in line for yet another handout. It's a remarkably convenient cycle: open the gates, then pay for the 'services' to manage the predictable influx. Perhaps they could instead allocate $15 million to, you know, actually securing the border, which might reduce the need for such 'support' in the first place? But where's the virtue signaling in that?

This isn't about compassion; it's about control and expanding the progressive pet project ecosystem. Every dollar spent on 'legal aid' for non-citizens is a dollar not spent on keeping our existing citizens safe, maintaining our infrastructure, or stopping the endless parade of regulations strangling local businesses. It's almost as if the plan is to make California so 'welcoming' that everyone arrives, then complain about the resulting strain on resources, thereby justifying even more government intervention and spending. Rinse, repeat, and watch your tax dollars vanish into the ether.

The real 'support' these children need is a secure, legal immigration system that doesn't encourage dangerous journeys and exploitation. But that would require common sense and fiscal responsibility, two concepts apparently on extended leave in the Golden State. Meanwhile, rest assured, your tax bill will continue to reflect Sacramento's boundless generosity, just not toward you.
