(SNews) – California Governor Gavin Newsom warned President Joe Biden, VP Kamala Harris, and others in his political party that the immigration system is about to break with Trump’s successful Title 42 policy officially ending in a week. He said:
“Just got back from Mexicali, which is on the other side of the border. While I had the opportunity to meet with the governor and meet with some international humanitarian leaders, as well as many migrants from Haiti, from Guatemala, and from parts of Mexico that are waiting for their asylum processing right here at the border.
“So we’re here now on the other side in Calexico. And here just to get an understanding and deep understanding of what the world looks like pre-Title 42. It likely is going to look like in a few weeks post-Title 42.”
He told ABC:
At the border today.
CA has invested $1B to humanely support migrant communities & secure our border. We can’t do this alone.@POTUS has proposed real reform that will fix our broken immigration system—but @GOPLeader has done nothing but exploit the situation for political gain pic.twitter.com/aI0vKbpGAt

“The federal government is sending more and more flights, and more and more buses directly here to California because this state is doing what no other state’s doing.
“And that’s absorbing and protecting and preserving our values and advancing them by doing health care screenings, and taking care of folks, and the more we do, the burden is placed disproportionately on us.
“We’re already at capacity and nine of our sites.
“We can’t continue to fund all of these sites because of the budgetary pressures now being placed on this state and the offsetting issues that I have to address.
“The reality is, unless we’re doing what we’re doing, people will end up on the streets.”
Gavin took a swipe at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) for flying migrants to Martha’s Vineyard.
“I mean, that’s just comedy and tragedy.”
Newsom said the immigration system is about to break in California.
He said:
“The fact is, what we’ve got right now is not working, and it’s about to break in a post-42 world unless we take some responsibility and ownership.
“I’m saying that as a Democrat.
“I’m not saying that to point fingers.
“I’m saying that as a father, I’m saying that as someone that feels responsible for being part of the solution, and I’m trying to do my best here.”
