Open borders means lots of money for illegals - not so much for core government purposes

Don't need crap like reservoirs, bridges and roads or medical supplies. Do need lots of illegals on welfare, homeless and high speed rail from nowhere to nowhere.

KEEP ROCKIN’! “California once had mobile hospitals and a ventilator stockpile. But it dismantled them,” this L.A. Times headline notes, without naming names until six paragraphs in:
In 2006, citing the threat of avian flu, then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced the state would invest hundreds of millions of dollars in a powerful set of medical weapons to deploy in the case of large-scale emergencies and natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires and pandemics.
“In light of the pandemic flu risk, it is absolutely a critical investment,” he told a news conference. “I’m not willing to gamble with the people’s safety.”
The state, flush with tax revenue, soon sank more than $200 million into the mobile hospital program and a related Health Surge Capacity Initiative to stockpile medicines and medical gear for use in outbreaks of infectious disease, according to former emergency management officials and state budget records.
But the ambitious effort, which would have been vital as the state confronts the new coronavirus today, hit a wall: a brutal recession, a free fall in state revenues — and in 2011, the administration of a fiscally minded Democratic governor, Jerry Brown, who came into office facing a $26-billion deficit.
“Fiscally minded Democratic governor, Jerry Brown.” Hey, whatever gets you through the night.
