Did California donate federal funds to illegals?
The Department of Homeland Security released a statement on Monday explaining that Homeland Security Investigation is looking into whether the state of California knowingly provided federal benefits to illegal aliens.
The HSI field office in Los Angeles issued a Title 8 subpoena to California’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI). According to DHS, this program provides benefits to aliens who are ineligible for Social Security benefits because of their immigration status.
As part of HSI's investigation, the agency subpoenaed the following records:
- Applicant’s name and date of birth,
- Copies of applications,
- Immigration status,
- Proof of ineligibility for SSI from the Social Security Administration, and
- Affidavits in support of the application.
"Radical left politicians in California prioritize illegal aliens over our own citizens, including by giving illegal aliens access to cash benefits,” said DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. “The Trump administration is working together to identify abuse and exploitation of public benefits and make sure those in this country illegally are not receiving federal benefits or other financial incentives to stay illegally. If you are an illegal immigrant, you should leave now. The gravy train is over. While this subpoena focuses only on Los Angeles County — it is just the beginning.”

California appears to be trying to replace the citizens who are leaving the state with illegal immigrants. I think the Department of Homeland Security is asking legitimate questions of California.
