Mayor of city in California explains illegal migrants benefits $$$
reporting by Nick Shirley

Who are you?

My name's Bill Wells. I'm the mayor of the city of El Cajon.

And here in San Diego county, we're seeing a lot of stuff happening here at the border. And you guys being a border town, how is it affecting the city here?

Since October we've had over 250,000 drop offs in San Diego.

(What this refers to is the Biden Administration implemented a policy of automatically admitting migrants who show up at the border, busing them into the interior of the country )​

These are street releases. The county of San Diego already spent $6 million on a migrant welcome center, which, I'm not sure why we need that, but they've just allocated another $19 million for that. But you know, there are also costs that you don't see. You know, everybody that comes across, whether they're a citizen or not, is entitled to full health care. That even includes having sex change operations. That's an expense for the whole family. People that come over with kids are put up in hotels. Those hotels cost $8,000 to $10,000 per month, and that's paid for by the city. So these are expensive things.
Now there's a bill in California that says if you're an illegal alien, you can get free college tuition, even a 20% down on a house. These are things that American citizens are not getting. ​


This sounds unbelievable. Are most Americans even aware of this, and this type of stuff that is happening?

This is why he tanked it, so you can keep complaining and voting for Republicans that won't do anything about it.

Take the wool out from your eyes.

I disagree with you and think that's a lie you've been told.

But if you want to talk about it, let's talk about it in a new thread.

The OP seems misinformed or is deliberately distorting the facts.

First, they complain about street releases, then they complain about a supposedly unnecessary welcome centre.

This omits the fact that the welcome centre was put in place so that the migrants would have a place to go instead of being released on the street, The welcome centre is the solution to the supposed street release problem.

California Mayor Blasts Plan to Help Migrants Buy Houses
by Jordan King, Newsweek, July 8, 2024

The mayor of El Cajon has criticized a program that helps people buy their first houses, including migrants.

Californians can apply to the California Dream for All Shared Appreciation Loan, which offers eligible buyers a down-payment loan worth up to 20 percent of the purchase price.

Loans offered under the program do not accrue interest and do not need to be repaid in monthly installments. Instead, borrowers repay the original amount of the loan, along with 20 percent of the increase in the home's value, when it is sold or the mortgage is refinanced.

This bill does not exclude undocumented migrants and, in January, Democrat assembly member Joaquin Arambula introduced a proposal to specify that those applying for the program "shall not be disqualified solely based on the applicant's immigration status."

El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells seemingly criticized this policy in an interview with Nick Sirley, an online content-maker who describes himself as someone "here to show the reality of things as they are."

San Diego does not give free tuition to undocumented migrants specifically, but it does offer in-state tuition rates and financial aid opportunities for those who qualify under the California Dream Act.
