    We are.

    States Rights as per the U.S. Constitution.

    Not in violation of it.

    Okay, it's California so it doesn't affect me and isn't my business how they spend their money. But illegal immigrants can't collect welfare so I'm confused how they attributed this to illegals?

    I say we close off California and let them eat each other. The same with NYC.

    Why would I disagree with such a blatantly self obvious thing?

    Almost all counties are Trump counties.

    California has a way of getting around things they want to get around. Even though in order to vote a person has to be a citizen, and to be a citizen one must be able to read and speak in English, California has their voting ballots printed in numerous foreign languages.

    But the bottom line is CA welcomes illegals with open arms so why wouldn't they use tax payer money to support them? Heck, they don't even want to cooperate with the feds when illegals commit crimes and end up in jail.

    When I lived in CA certain cities/counties had rules prohibiting cops from impounding the cars of illegals when they got busted for driving with no license, insurance, registration and other things. If you want something bad enough you'll bend the rules to get it.

    I don't see what all the fuss is about. As the saying goes, "It's only [somebody else's] money

    I'm sure their roads and bridges are top notch, and they don't need this money anywhere else. :rolleyes:

    Immigration is Constitutionally under the authority of Congress. With free travel within the US guaranteed by the Constitution, you can't have individual States making up their own immigration policy and nullify Federal Immigration Policy.

    So it's just guessing what they cost, and most of these costs are totally indirectly related of them being there. But it's presented as if they are actually receiving direct cash. That's not a strong case.

    A room full of 100% white people isn't diverse.

    That's hilariously stupid.

    How is stupid? Stupid is not knowing what diverse means, and you clearly don't.

    No, stupid is thinking that diversity is limited to the color of your skin.
