California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), currently facing a recall election on September 14, wants the state’s taxpayers to spend $16.7 million on “cash assistance” and “other services” for Afghans who are resettled in California as part of President Joe Biden’s massive resettlement operation.
In a statement, Newsom and Democrats in the state legislature asked that about $16.7 million in taxpayer money be redirected to aid Afghans resettled in California by the Biden administration.
The Governor, with support from legislative leaders, is requesting $16.7 million in general funds, which will be used to provide cash assistance and other services for newly arriving Afghans in the state,” a press release from Newsom’s office reads.
"Today’s announcements and request for funding signal that California stands ready to assist those in need,” Newsom said in a statement. “As the nation’s most diverse state, we don’t simply tolerate diversity, we celebrate it.”
Afghans, though, are likely to struggle to afford California’s high cost of housing. Last month, refugee contractors even urged California residents to open their homes to Afghans because they stated that the newly-arrived immigrants could not afford the state’s housing costs.
State Department officials have similarly noted that California is a hard sell for many Afghans being resettled in the U.S. due to the high cost of living.
Newsom’s push to spend taxpayer money on cash assistance and other services for Afghans comes as nearly 162,000 residents in the state are experiencing homelessness on any given day.

Phuque Newsom.
Newsom’s push to spend taxpayer money on cash assistance and other services for Afghans comes as nearly 162,000 residents in the state are experiencing homelessness on any given day.
Thousands of homeless Americans in CA.
Newsom has never done anything for the taxpaying citizens of California. He only cares about immigrants, (mostly illegal) and criminals. I want him gone.
ESAD Gavvy. GFY.. Nobody likes your sorry ass. I’m certain with heels up Harris in town the both of you can swap spit amongst other things.
We’re gonna recall your sorry ass..
Gavin gives money to everyone except California homeowners they still get shafted.
Sounds like a typical Democrat move, giving money to foreigners who didn’t earn it, while ignoring the real Americans.
If Gavin was really concerned about the Afghans being unable to afford life in California, he would call for them to be resettled in a more affordable state. He doesn’t need a new group of people to vote for him; California is already overwhelmingly Democratic.
Perhaps he has decided that he can’t avoid getting removed from office, and now wants to take the state with him when he goes down.
I think you’re onto something.
And more are being BURNED out of their properties due to rotten forest management. Over 600 homes burned in the Caldor fire alone.
That is the Pelosi blueprint he is following.
Spend $16.7M on ‘Cash Assistance’ for VOTERS it’s the democrat way.
He's fine with that as long as his mansion is okay.
