Newsom Says California Is a 'Model' for a 'Safe and Humane Border'

As Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) continues his DC trip, touting his beacon of policies that have eroded California, hundreds of illegal migrants are flooding his state.

Instead of focusing on his state’s massive crime spike, record-breaking inflation, and the devastating immigration crisis, Newsom claims California is better than freedom-loving Florida.

On Friday, Border Patrol buses dropped hundreds of illegal aliens off in San Diego after a migrant shelter in which the county spent millions of taxpayer dollars to build.

However, Newsom claimed that California is a “model” for a “safe and humane border,” despite the Migrant Welcome Center processing more than 81,000 illegal migrants since October.

Newsom just called California a "model" for a "safe and humane border." Californians disagree.

In a new PPIC poll, the border is described as a "crisis" or "serious problem" by 88 percent of Democrats, 94 percent of Independents, and 98 percent of Republicans.

Last month, Newsom blamed Republicans for the ongoing border crisis, saying that his opposing party refuses to do anything in an effort to influence the upcoming presidential election.

He introduced a $14 billion plan that would allow judges to process illegal migrants more efficiently and provide security at the border with 2,300 new border agents.
