A California Angel Mom slammed Democrats and Governor Gavin Newsom over a proposed bill to use taxpayer dollars to fund defense for illegal migrants.
During an interview on Tuesday, Agnes Gibboney, whose son Ronald was killed by an illegal migrant, said the proposal is proof that Democrats prioritize illegals more than citizens.
“My son was murdered,” she said. “Not one politician has ever contacted me. Not one politician said, ‘I’m so sorry that this previously deported criminal illegal alien shot and killed your son.’ Not one of them.”
She also revealed that soon after her son was shot and killed by an illegal immigrant in his driveway in 2022, she sent Newsom “many, many emails” and “never once did I get a response, not even from his office, much less from Newsom.”
The bill, introduced by Democrat Assembly Member Mia Bonta, would provide taxpayer-funded lawyers for immigrants facing deportation and prioritize those in detention.
So far, it has cleared two Assembly policy committees and is now under review in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
Gibboney said she was outraged by the measure, calling it “insanity.”
“California is about three to 400 billion, with a ‘B,’ dollars in debt. How is that possible? How much more can you milk us citizens?” she questioned.
“We have the highest tax in the entire country, we have the highest cost of living, the most homeless. We are number one on everything, and nothing number one in good things, it’s always on the bad things,” she stated. “We taxpayers keep paying more and more each year for taxes just so our government, actually Gavin Newsom, can hand it out and squander our tax dollars and give it to illegal aliens.”
