Here we go again! Oregon's brilliant leadership has decided to spend $500 MILLION more on healthcare programs for illegal immigrants than on their entire state police budget. Meanwhile, Portland business owners are literally begging the city council for help as their establishments get shot up, vandalized, and overrun by criminals every single weekend. But sure, let's prioritize virtue signaling over actual public safety!
We dive into heartbreaking testimony from small business owners who are hanging on by a thread, desperate for more cops while watching their life's work crumble. One bar owner described blood splattered on security cameras after a stabbing incident - and police didn't even take names or file a report. The state police get $717 million while the healthcare program balloons to $1.3 billion - a 1,000% increase since 2022!
Is anyone surprised that when you build programs for illegals, they come flooding in? What did Oregon expect when they removed all immigration status barriers? How long before Portland becomes completely uninhabitable for law-abiding citizens and business owners?
