California Democrats have spent decades putting the interests of illegal immigrants ahead of United States citizens, making California a magnet for illegal immigration while pushing native residents out. Now that they acknowledge that illegal immigration is driving the state’s population growth, Democrats are not reconsidering the policies that created the problem. They are trying to entrench them.

Throughout the 2024 presidential campaign, Democrats claimed that illegal immigrants did not receive free healthcare from taxpayers. That was false. Six states, including California, were using state and federal tax dollars to provide free healthcare to illegal immigrants in 2024, and Gov. Tim Walz’s Minnesota began providing free healthcare to illegal immigrants in 2025.
