Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) visited the southern border on Saturday following President Joe Biden and former President Trump’s trip earlier in the week.
However, the Democrat governor's trip was more of a photo-op than a plan to put an end to illegal immigration in the state.
During Newsom’s trip to the U.S.-Mexico border, the Democrat governor blamed Republicans for the nation’s sweeping immigration crisis, accusing the party of blocking a bipartisan border security deal.
Newsom visits the San Diego sector border where we were reporting from last week. Looks like they took him to the gap in the wall in Jacumba where there have been mass illegal crossings in recent months. https://t.co/0muqbEEwIR

“On his first day in office, President Biden put forward a comprehensive plan focused on securing our border, ensuring Dreamers have a permanent home in our country, and helping businesses address their needs for workers. Republicans in Congress have done nothing but create chaos and sabotage any attempts at progress — including blocking the bipartisan border security deal that had everything they’d been asking for. It’s past time for the spineless Republicans in Congress to do their job,” Newsom said in a statement.
California is one of the main points of entry for illegal migrants, with nearly 81,000 aliens having been processed at the San Diego Migrant Welcome Center since October.
Last week, Newsom claimed that the state is a “model” for a “safe and humane border.”
The so-called “sanctuary” state incentivized thousands of illegal migrants to come to California after Newsom announced that they would receive free health care and housing, unemployment benefits, and other freebies.
Over 100,000 illegal migrants have unlawfully crossed the San Diego border as Newsom uses hard-working taxpayer money to fund migrant shelters across the state.
Gavin Newsom stared at the gap in the wall and didn’t care.

He’s actually glad it’s there.
California is losing 75k net residents a year.
He needs to replace them somehow.
Was he shaking hands with the illegals as they crossed through?

This guy can’t even take care of his own state and he expects to run for president?

He's there to hand out "how to vote for Newsom" flyers!
