WE CAUGHT THEIR ATTENTION
Senator Adam Schiff’s recent response to a concerned California
constituent exposes a familiar pattern from the political left:
deflection, disdain, and an outright refusal to confront reality.
The constituent did not make an unreasonable demand. Contrary to what
Senator Schiff’s letter suggests, the concerned Californian
contacted their U.S. senator—using ACT for America’s legislative
action tool—to urge lawmakers to fund the Department of Homeland
Security and prevent a government shutdown—emphasizing the vital
role Immigration and Customs Enforcement plays in protecting American
communities.
SENATOR SCHIFF’S RESPONSE WAS REVEALING—AND DEEPLY TROUBLING.
Rather than address these public safety concerns, he openly refused to
support funding for ICE, instead portraying the agency as an aggressor
that conducts “raids” and “separates families.” Even more
telling, he went further by describing the state’s large population
of illegal immigrants as “essential to the state’s identity,”
framing them as indispensable to California’s character and economy
while ignoring the strain they place on resources, public safety, and
overwhelmed systems.
What Schiff conspicuously ignored is the truth Americans live with
every day: ICE has removed thousands of violent predators, murderers,
rapists, gang members, and cartel operatives from our streets. THAT
OMISSION IS NO ACCIDENT. It comes from the same politician who spent
years promoting the now-debunked “Russian collusion”
hoax—wasting taxpayer dollars, undermining trust in institutions,
and deepening national division.

One would expect a U.S. Senator—especially one who has spent decades
in elected office—to show respect for a constituent asking for basic
governance and public safety. Instead, Schiff chose condescension.
WHILE HE AND HIS ALLIES HAVE HELD POWER, CALIFORNIA HAS DETERIORATED
BEFORE OUR EYES: SOARING CRIME, RECORD HOMELESSNESS, CRUSHING COSTS OF
LIVING, AND A MASS EXODUS OF FAMILIES AND BUSINESSES FLEEING THE
STATE.
And the consequences are impossible to ignore.
CALIFORNIA IS NOW THE HOMELESSNESS CAPITAL OF AMERICA. Nearly 200,000
people live in squalor along streets, underpasses, and sidewalks.
Despite claims of progress from Governor Gavin Newsom, the crisis has
worsened—even after as much as $31 billion in taxpayer funding was
poured into homelessness programs. That equates to roughly $170,000
per homeless individual, yet the population has grown by tens of
thousands.
Investigative reporting by political commentator Benny Johnson has
exposed rampant fraud within the so-called “homeless industrial
complex.” Nonprofits rake in over $1 billion annually while
executives collect six-figure salaries. Funds disappear into luxury
perks, abandoned projects, and outright waste. WHISTLEBLOWERS ALLEGE
SHELTERS PRIORITIZE UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS WITHOUT BACKGROUND CHECKS
AND EVEN SHIELD THEM FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT—WHILE LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS
ARE LEFT TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES.
At the same time, Californians are voting with their feet. Population
decline now threatens the state with the loss of congressional seats
in the next census. THIS IS THE LEGACY OF ONE-PARTY RULE AND CAREER
POLITICIANS WHO REFUSE ACCOUNTABILITY.
Perhaps Senator Schiff—who has spent his entire career in positions
of power—should take a hard look in the mirror before dismissing
concerned voters. ICE IS NOT THE PROBLEM. FAILED LEADERSHIP IS.
