The state of California has allocated $9.5 billion in the 2024-2025 budget to provide healthcare to undocumented immigrants, as confirmed by state officials in recent budget discussions. This decision has sparked considerable debate, with critics pointing to the state's $30 billion deficit and questioning the prioritization of funds. Supporters argue it addresses humanitarian needs, reflecting California's role as a sanctuary state.

JUST IN: Gavin Newsom will be spending a whopping $9.5 BILLION this year to give free healthcare to illegal aliens.
I'm infuriated, and I don't even live in California.
The federal government should freeze all funding for California until they comply with federal immigration laws. Picking illegals over citizens is treason.

🚨 Last Tuesday, I did a segment with @tracegallagher on @foxnewsnight dedicated to this $9.5 BILLION illegal healthcare scam that @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom has been running.
We were told it would be $3 billion and I KNEW THEN that this was a bait and switch!
