URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – Xavier Becerra has never been particularly shy about where his loyalties lie, and a recent CNN appearance made that crystal clear once again. The former California Attorney General and Biden-era Secretary of Health and Human Services, now running for governor of California as a Democrat, confirmed on air that he wants the state to keep providing free healthcare to illegal immigrants.
Shocking. Truly. Nobody saw that coming.
During the same segment, Becerra openly admitted that illegal immigrants take jobs away from American workers. And not just in agriculture, as the left typically tries to limit the conversation. He acknowledged it happens in construction, healthcare, and beyond.
Think about that, a Democrat gubernatorial candidate in California sat down on CNN and essentially confirmed two things conservatives have been saying for years: illegal immigrants compete directly with American citizens for jobs across multiple industries, and California Democrats are perfectly happy to keep rewarding that with taxpayer-funded free healthcare. All while wearing what can only be described as the most self-satisfied expression television has aired in recent memory, apparently convinced he was being extraordinarily clever.
Xavier Becerra is asked why illegals should get taxpayer-funded healthcare in CA —
While his opponent Steve Hilton believes that they broke the law, and this incentivizes bad behavior.

Becerra has spent his entire career as a reliable foot soldier for the progressive left. As California’s Attorney General, he spent considerable energy suing the Trump administration at every available opportunity rather than focusing on the exploding crime, homelessness, and cost-of-living crises decimating his own state. As Biden’s HHS Secretary, he presided over a department that pushed COVID policies and vaccine mandates.
Now he wants to run California, a state that is hemorrhaging residents, businesses, and tax revenue at a genuinely alarming rate, largely because decades of one-party Democrat rule have turned it into one of the most expensive, poorly managed, and increasingly dangerous places to live in the entire country.
California desperately needs new leadership and a dramatically different direction. Becerra would be nothing more than a continuation of the same failed policies that have been driving the Golden State into the ground for years. More spending, more sanctuary policies, more free services for people who entered the country illegally, and more of the smug condescension toward the working-class Californians who actually foot the bill for all of it.
If California voters have any interest in reversing their state’s decline, they would do well to take a serious look at Steve Hilton, the former Fox News host and political adviser who has been one of the most articulate and energetic voices for genuine reform in the state. Hilton has built his entire political identity around the idea that California’s problems are solvable, but only if the political class that created them is finally shown the door.
Becerra on CNN was a perfect reminder of exactly why that change is so badly needed.
