Grand Theft Auto: California

When you combine unchecked illegal immigration with a refusal to prosecute crimes, you end up with a society similar to that which you would find in a Grand Theft Auto game.

In other words, you end up with Gov. Gavin Newsom ’s California .

Southern California has been a hotbed of gang crime this summer. Four people were arrested in the summer for a March robbery in San Bernardino County, with all four having suspected gang ties to the Inland Empire and a series of home invasions and extortion plots against local businesses. Earlier in August, a man was executed in broad daylight in Glendale, with reports being that he owned a marijuana dispensary and was killed by the Jalisco New Generation cartel over “protection” money.

Just a few weeks before that, it was announced that 37 accused members of Los Angeles street gangs were being federally charged with murder, fentanyl trafficking, and extortion while the authorities searched for eight more suspects who may have fled to Mexico.

GTA’s San Andreas and Sons of Anarchy’s Charming are fictional cities based on California’s past crime problems, and yet, somehow, they would be right at home in Newsom’s new California. Truth is stranger than fiction, but in California, the two are equally violent.

As it turns out, an open southern border accompanied by California’s promise of “sanctuary” is a perfect mix to attract the terrible kinds of people who live violent lives and impose that violence on others through extortion schemes. Newsom’s open invitation to some of the worst people the world has to offer as California lightens its criminal laws makes the state far more dangerous. Who needs a sixth installment in the Grand Theft Auto series when you can live the real deal under Newsom’s “leadership.”
