Senate Democrat: California will use tax dollars to help migrants facing Trump ‘threats’
24m •
Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) said the state of California was prepared to spend taxpayer dollars on migrants in need of “legal assistance, legal advice, legal support” because of “threats” under President-elect Trump’s administration.
“If the first Trump administration is any indicator, we know that there will continue to be a lot of fear in communities and communities that deserve to know what their rights are and what their rights are [and] are not,” Padilla said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
“That’s just the California way. We embrace our diversity. Our diversity is what has made our communities thrive and our economy thrive. And so we will assist families against the threats of the Trump administration.”
Trump made mass deportations of illegal migrants one of his central campaign pledges, a push that could heavily impact California.
