California’s new governor is talking immigration. Governor Gavin Newsom will be in San Diego today discussing his proposal to spend millions of dollars for a so-called immigration rapid response program. The idea is to get services to asylum seekers. Newsom calls the situation at the border a humanitarian crisis, but in 2008 when he was Mayor of San Francisco, he reportedly implemented a policy that illegal immigrants arrested for felonies be turned over to federal immigration authorities.
