Bass and Newsom blasted President Trump for sending troops to stop anti-ICE riots, calling the $134 million effort wasteful. But the backlash quickly shifted to their own record—billions spent annually on illegal immigrants—putting their criticism under scrutiny.
Key Facts:
- President Trump sent National Guard and Marines to stop anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, costing $134 million.
- Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass condemned the deployment as wasteful and politically motivated.
- California reportedly spends more than $30 billion each year on services for illegal immigrants.
- A federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s troop control, but the 9th Circuit restored it ahead of a June 17 hearing.
- House Republicans are investigating Newsom and Bass for their opposition to federal aid and sanctuary policies amid the riots.
The Rest of The Story:
Bass and Newsom blasted Trump’s $134 million troop deployment on social media.
Bass called it a “shameful use of taxpayer dollars,” while Newsom said the money should go toward “fire recovery.”
But their outrage backfired.
Critics pointed out California spends tens of billions every year on illegal immigration.
Stephen Miller, Andrew Clark, and Robby Starbuck all responded, pointing to the high cost of healthcare, education, and law enforcement for those in the country illegally.
“How many billions have you spent on illegals Gavin? It’s well into the hundreds of billions,” Conservative activist and filmmaker Robby Starbuck posted on X. “THAT money should have gone to your citizens and fire recovery but you gave it to illegals.
FAIR estimates California spent $31 billion on illegal immigrants in 2023 alone.
A federal judge briefly halted Trump’s control over the National Guard, citing constitutional overreach.
But the 9th Circuit Court quickly reversed that ruling and scheduled a June 17 hearing.
Meanwhile, a House investigation is underway into Newsom and Bass’s handling of the riots and sanctuary policies.
Commentary:
Newsom and Bass continue to act like Trump is staging a dictatorship.
But their attacks are falling flat.
The $134 million used to stop riots doesn’t come close to the over $30 billion they pour into illegal immigration every year.
Free healthcare, taxpayer-funded benefits, and sanctuary protections have made California a magnet for illegal immigrants.
The result? A crisis they created, now spilling into the streets with riots and chaos.
It’s not Trump’s military move that’s disgraceful—it’s their failure to maintain order in the first place.
The people looting and burning businesses are the product of left-wing policies and years of leniency.
Newsom and Bass want to point fingers, but the truth is plain: their policies invited this mess.
The American people are tired of being told they should pay for it.
The Bottom Line:
Trump acted to stop destruction in Los Angeles, and the cost was modest compared to California’s yearly spending on illegal immigrants.
Newsom and Bass are trying to flip the script, but their hypocrisy is clear.
Billions go to non-citizens under their watch, while citizens suffer and cities burn.
Blaming Trump won’t cover that up.
