COMMENTARY

OPINION:

Democrats, so committed to protecting violent criminals and fraudsters, have been laying the groundwork for more cover-ups to come.

Let’s check out California, where Gov. Gavin Newsom openly invited illegal migrants to arrive and enjoy welfare benefits like free health care. The strategy, at our expense, is simple. Hook illegals into government payouts, shield them from deportation and they’ll vote for Democrats.

In April 2024, the state audit ripped Mr. Newsom’s handling of billion-dollar programs for the homeless, whose ranks have surged during his reign. (Got that? Illegal migrants and homeless have surged while average Americans leave California.)

The report, “Homelessness in California,” said an “unsheltered” population — sidewalk and tent dwellers — has nearly doubled since 2013, from 73,000 to 123,000. Overall, homelessness went from 119,000 to 181,000.

But the cobbled-together network of state overseers doesn’t track the taxpayer money, according to the report. Over a five-year period, $24 billion is unaccounted for. And the state does not assess whether any of 15 separate programs actually works.

The Democratic-led legislature quickly approved a bipartisan bill as a fix. What did Mr. Newsom, who wants to be our next president, do? He vetoed it, arguing there was another bill to address the problem. He might have calculated that the law was too intrusive and could spur more negative reports about him. The Trump team alleges California overlooks billions in fraud.

“Gov. Newsom had an opportunity to do what is right and hold his agencies accountable for our state’s failed response to homelessness,” said Republican Assemblyman Josh Hoover.

Fourteen months later, in December, the state auditor did a follow-up. Mr. Newsom’s bureaucracy had done virtually nothing to fulfill the one bill the governor touted and signed. Or, in the audit-style language of the report, the state “has demonstrated limited progress toward completing the required planning and coordination necessary to make [the new law’s] oversight reporting possible.”
