Gavin Newsom invites world's homeless to California

California Gov. Gavin Newsom pledged to house and feed the world’s homeless population this week during a whirlwind “Comeback California” tour that is designed to stave off a September recall by angry voters
quote:
The Golden State is already cracking under the weight of the nation’s largest homeless population and one of the worst economic climates post-COVID-19. With millions of middle-class residents and business owners fleeing to red states, those left behind have seen a burgeoning lower class emerge.
quote:
It’s against this backdrop that Newsom held a press conference Monday pledging $12 billion to combat homelessness on top of billions that have already been spent. People will be taken care of, and anyone who wants to avail themselves to the California dream is welcome, he said in response to a reporter who asked whether he expected the nation’s homeless to descend upon California with this new expenditure.
quote:
It’s about getting people off the streets, out of incidents of crisis, and meeting people where they are and to the extent that people want to come here for new beginnings and all income levels, that’s part of the California dream,” Newsom said. “We have a responsibility to accommodate and enliven and inspire, and California’s dream is still alive and well.”
quote:
Newsom added: “I’m proud of people from around the world looking at California again for opportunity, and that, again, that should not just be for certain people. All people should aspire to that California dream regardless of their income level and regarding their lot in life.”
quote:
California is the highest-taxed state in the nation, and buying a home is out of reach for the average resident. Newsom did not mention this but rather pointed to an $80 billion budget surplus that he said is enough money to help all achieve the American dream.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva listened to Newsom’s message and was not pleased with what he heard.
quote:
Homicides in Los Angeles County are up 58% from last year, and newly elected District Attorney George Gascon refused to file a record 5,900 criminal cases brought by detectives this year, Villanueva said. Gascon ran on a platform of less prosecution and more community assistance for lawbreakers.
quote:LINK
“With [Gascon’s] privileged upbringing, this doesn’t impact him,” Villanueva said. “I have homeless with mental illness on the streets who attack residents, set their houses on fire, and run over them with cars. Just the sheer level of violence that comes with the increase in population of homeless is like pouring gasoline on the fire.”

Sounds great...I'm willing to chip in for one way tickets to California for anyone that's interested in going.

Sounds like a winning strategy there, Gav. Good job.

Where do I donate? I’ll happily send every homeless person I see in and around New Orleans to Cali.
Actually, this will be a lot of fun. If anybody has some free time on their hands. Start a go fund me collecting money to send homeless people to California. Go around, meeting different homeless people, getting their stories, posting stories on YouTube and TickTock etc. Getting more people to donate. Take those homeless people and get them some ID so they can get on a plane. Give them a makeover. Post all that to social media in a very pandering way. And then send them to California. I guarantee you could make a killing doing that for a few months.

So they can take home $949 worth of free souvenirs?

Ok...on that note, how has organized crime not started working that system yet?
Pay "mules" to either fly cheaply or drive into California, steal $900 a day worth of stuff for a week at a time, then drive /fly back. You could have an entire army of drones doing this and make a killing.
For those in the intelligence agencies reading this, I'm simply speculating...

Let's start a GoFundMe account for 1st class plane tickets.

Louisiana should start a program....one way bus ticket to California plus $50 cash for any Louisiana homeless person wanting to relocate.

Typical liberal...big heart, no brain.

If I were in charge of another state, I would round up EVERY homeless person in my state and ship their arse to Cali (a one way ticket of course).

I can't wait for DeSantis' press conference announcing this.

Build a fence with machine gun towers every 100m so they STAY in the land of fruits and nuts
