The left is finally waking up to the crisis at the border.
According to a report from Fox News, California Governor Gavin Newsom is finally ready to admit that President Biden’s border policies aren’t working; “The fact is, what we’ve got right now is not working and is about to break in a post-[Title] 42 world unless we take some responsibility and ownership,” Newsom told ABC News.
“I’m saying that as a father,” the governor added. “I’m saying that as someone that feels responsible for being part of the solution and I’m trying to do my best here.”
From Fox News:
Newsom claimed the U.S. government is sending “more and more” migrants to California because the state is “taking care of folks.”
“The more we do, the burden is placed disproportionate on us,” he said.
“We’re already at capacity at nine of our sites,” Newsom continued. “We can’t continue to fund all of these sites because of the budgetary pressures now being placed on this state and the offsetting issues that I have to address.… The reality is, unless we’re doing what we’re doing, people will end up on the streets.”
Newsom’s comments come as a surprise after years of championing policies to accommodate and expand protections to illegal migrants entering California.
About 22% of California’s nearly 11 million immigrants are in the United States illegally, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.

Gavin Newsom warned that California would experience an unsustainable flow of illegal immigrants once Biden reverses Title 42.
“What we’ve got right now is not working and is about to break in a post-42 world,” Newsom said.
