‘George Soros and the Cartels’ Fuel Marxism in California

After Donald Trump’s election victory in November, California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, called a special session of the California Legislature to “Trump-proof” the state. Top of the agenda: Newsom’s efforts to prevent the second Trump administration from deporting illegal aliens living in California.

“This goes against the rule of law and against the will of the American people,” who elected Trump, Silicon Valley entrepreneur Allison Huynh said 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 just open the gate and allow 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-funded district attorney candidates considered soft on crime have won elections 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 the age of 7, when her family moved to America. Now, she says, she’s watching her state embrace “total socialism.”

Huynh joins this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how Newsom’s actions are moving California toward socialism and whether there is hope for her state.
