California Governor Gavin Newsom's commitment to protecting sanctuary cities and immigrants ignites a debate about the financial implications and potential impact on his 2028 presidential aspirations.
Newsom has positioned himself as a leader among Democratic governors, advocating for the protection of sanctuary status and immigrants residing within those jurisdictions. Trump's policy of mass deportations has faced criticism regarding its financial burden. However, California anticipates a significantly higher cost associated with upholding Newsom's stance. Fallon argues that Newsom's progressive policies will further burden Californians.
According to Trump's border czar appointee, Tom Homan, implementing these deportations could cost up to $86 billion. Conversely, Fallon cites the Federation for American Immigration Reform's estimate that illegal immigration costs the U.S. $150 billion annually, suggesting a potential cost reduction with deportations. Meanwhile, California's nonpartisan fiscal advisor asserts that the state's budget is facing significant challenges. Newsom's potential candidacy for president in 2028 is speculated to influence his immigration stance. Border security emerged as a crucial issue for voters, particularly those in California's sanctuary cities. Newsom's gubernatorial term concludes in 2027, providing ample time for him to campaign for the presidency. Fallon anticipates a resounding rejection of Newsom's candidacy. A Blueprint report reveals that nearly a quarter of voters ranked border security as their top concern in the November 5th election. It was among the top three issues for voters who ultimately supported Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris
