Following Donald Trump‘s election victory in November, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, convened a special session of the California Legislature to “Trump-proof” the state. At the top of the agenda: Newsom’s effort to prevent the second Trump administration from deporting illegal aliens who live in California.
“This is going against the rule of law and against the will of the American people” who elected Trump, Silicon Valley entrepreneur Allison Huynh says of Newsom’s plans.
Democrats in California have “romanticized” sanctuary cities, illegal aliens, and even crime, says Huynh, a former Obama fundraiser and Democrat.
“We’re just opening the gate and allowing all these illegal immigrants to come in, a lot of criminals, drug dealers, and it’s all funded by George Soros and the cartels,” she says, referring to the Hungarian-American investor, liberal political activist, and donor.
Soros-financed candidates for district attorney, considered soft on crime, have won election in cities in California and other states.
A narrative perpetuated in California justifies crime in the name of being kind to the poor, she says, but the reality is that “we’re basically frogs being boiled alive.”
Huynh grew up under Vietnam’s communist regime until age 7, when her family moved to America. Now, she says, she is watching as her state embraces “full-blown socialism.”
Huynh joins this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how Newsom’s actions are moving California toward socialism and whether hope remains for her state.
