Journalist Nick Shirley went to California to interview migrants, some of whom are children, who are living in tents on the street in Gavin Newsom’s California.

Shirley, who exposed rampant fraud in Minneapolis childcare programs, interviewed people and children apparently living on Skid Row who said they had spent years living in California.

“We came here to change our lives and now we are living like dogs,” the couple told Shirley. "We aren’t animals; we’re human."

The video shows the reality of people who emigrated from Colombia and other countries who came to California seeking a better life, but who live on the street. Shirley is fluent in Spanish.
