Hard to know where to start with this one! But the short answer is vets, homeless or not, tend to be conservative while 'illegals' from anywhere will tend to vote for whoever promises them life support for life, so to speak. And therein resides the reason Democrats fight so hard for 'illegals' rights ... they eventually convert to Leftist Progressive Democrat votes; the ONLY way the Leftists can survive in this country going forward.

As for the Cali Gov? I cannot think, off hand, of a more egregious waste of sperm in human history. Well, wait a minute, there is Obama and then there is Bill Clinton and... well, let me rethink this ...

Illegals are not entitled to receive government aid.

CDM Loc: Florida

Illegals and undocumented's are not entitled to receive FEDERAL government aid. Regardless they still receive several billions of dollars through various loopholes. The brunt of the cost though falls on the states that choose to support - and thereby ENCOURAGE - illegal immigration; the state subject of this thread and it's fruitcake governor leading the charge. The costs to the native tax payers of these states is staggering and is money diverted away from education and infrastructure in an undeclared game of 'creating' (eventually) a permanent sub-class of sure Democrat voters.

Here are two straightforward articles that give good perspective.

If you can't accept these findings, there are countless other and legitimate, unbiased accounting's of the cost of illegals on our welfare systems to which they are 'not entitled'. You will be unable to find any LEGITIMATE writings that state flatly that illegal immigration does not impact our economy negatively AND which provide the detailed analysis to support such claims.

It's not homeless vets living in the streets The most impoverished areas in the state are in the central valley the most conservative areas in the state The Bay Area which as been determined to be the most liberal area in the nation has the least number of poor or homeless. The biggest gap between the rich and poor are in these areas San Joaquin, the Inland Empire, and around San Diego. Inequality is a distinguishing characteristic of conservatism

CDM Loc: Florida

The most impoverished people in the areas you site fall, for the most part, into two categories; native Californians mostly of Mexican and/or Central American decent and, immigrants, legal or otherwise. Those stuck in poverty are for the most part uneducated and unskilled. Interestingly, the need for much of the once required labor they came here to provide has been eliminated through mechanization and more significantly through Leftist Progressive Democrat over regulation of industry. Look at the current outflow of business and industry away from California.

That said, thousands born into the former category have, over the years, escaped the the oppressive poverty because of the opportunities afforded by capitalistic commerce, a predominately conservative trait, and in spite of Democrat efforts to hold them in the permanent underclass. Those in the latter category continue to accept the Leftist Democrat invitation and pour in to receive the promised Democrat Dole, one of the mechanisms that holds them in poverty.

When is the last time Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein or Barbara Boxer visited Fresno or Bakersfield and talked to the people that have been 'abused' by conservatism? When is the last time Jerry Brown ventured out among these people and asked them what they think, what they need? Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown do not know these people exist much less want them in their neighborhoods.

And of inarguable relevance, these people come from countries that are not conservative in any sense but are hardcore Leftist dictatorships; third world shit-holes pretending to be democracies. They come here to escape the inequality, more succinctly the soul-killing inequity of Leftism. For most, being poor in America is an acceptable alternative to being poor where they come from.

Your trite platitude demonstrates the most distinguishing characteristic of Leftism; ignorant, hate-driven propaganda.
