California is so successful they can't afford their illegals anymore.

You go California. 

 

The California Department of Finance cleared a $3.44 billion loan to make up for a gap in Medi-Cal spending, which critics say is due to illegal immigrant healthcare costs.

It was revealed a few weeks ago that the state had $6 billion in expected costs for Medi-Cal, but it is now roughly $9.5 billion. This comes after it became state law to allow people to qualify for the program regardless of their immigration status. Medi-Cal is the state's Medicaid system for certain Golden State residents, which takes both federal and state taxpayer dollars, according to a state government website. 

Critics of allowing the program’s availability to those who are in the country illegally strongly believe it is cause for concern.

"Gov. Gavin Newsom lied and cooked the books to gift all illegal immigrants free healthcare and now has stuck California taxpayers with a multibillion-dollar bill," Rep. Carl DeMaio, R-San Diego, told Fox News Digital in a statement.

"This is so egregious that he needs to resign," he continued.

DeMaio was the lawmaker who, in a hearing last month, questioned a state budget official who ended up revealing the higher spending figure for MediCal. DeMaio was later removed from the California State Assembly budget committee.

Yet, they not only voted for Gavin once, but twice.  Shame.

Look up the cost of a bus ticket tell any the illegals you come across in your state about the free health care they can get in California.

They will demand the money for the bus fare.

Tim says it doesn't cost the govt anything to have illegals here and the illegals actually help the US and we couldn't function without them.

I wonder if this cost made it into the analysis of all these left wing think tank pieces about the net cost/benefit of illegal immigration on the U.S.

Not a chance.
