“Around midnight, California decided to raise your taxes. But here's one thing that really stood out to me. Do you remember the Stop Nick Shirley Act? There's a group called CHIRLA that is lobbying the government and pushing that bill to prevent journalists from independently reporting on immigration support services. Well, guess what they get in the budget?
- They get $5 million
- I decided to go back and look into What's happened over the last few years? CHIRLA has gotten $40 million in your taxpayer funds to lobby the government.
- They've also somehow were a voting center— So now we're We see in your budget that California is giving $5 million to a nonprofit organization to lobby the government to then push bills forward that protect them. They then get other people elected who then come back here and give them more money.
That is why they needed to raise your taxes in the middle of the night”
It’s actually worse than this,
California Democrats have actually given $115 million to CHIRLA
The funding is real and comes from state budgets under Governor Gavin Newsom
- $35 million to CHIRLA in 2023–2024 alone as part of broader anti-deportation and immigrant support funding
- Total state funding to similar groups reached $73.6 million in that period, with CHIRLA as a major recipient
- CHIRLA organizes protests and also was involved in migrant resettlements into America
- Additional funding has been given many times
