Decoding the California recall: Why it's happening -- and why it's crucial that Newsom survives

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Like I said, he has also made record monetary investments in public education, which helped all working-class Californians to rise out of poverty.
55% : One of the things you've mentioned about Elder's influence on the Trump campaign was that he urged Miller to stress that undocumented immigrants were harmful to inner-city Blacks and Latinos, correct?
52% : The positive counter-narrative is that California is the most welcoming place for people of color to live, because of the immense progress that the state has made on immigrant rights, on racial justice, on criminal justice reform.
49% : He has made unprecedented monetary investment in public education, some of which well help Latino communities -- for example, giving two years of community college to first-time students and measures to drive down the cost of textbooks, which many Latinos cannot otherwise afford, He also extended health care coverage to undocumented seniors and provided housing during the pandemic to essential workers, and to farmworkers who tested positive for COVID, so that they wouldn't infect their family members.
46% : Trump was mostly against illegal immigration, but Stephen Miller made his administration really go after legal immigration in the form of gutting the refugee system, gutting the asylum system, things like that.
46% : But the whole reason we passed sanctuary protections in the first place is because law enforcement officials found that fear of deportation made people in Latino communities, who so often come from mixed-status families, afraid to call the police and report crimes, because that could lead to their deportation or the deportation of a loved one.
44% : I think that is part of what explains his support for draconian immigration policies, his desire to get rid of sanctuary protections, his desire to get rid of health care and public education for undocumented migrants, his desire even to get rid of birthright citizenship, the constitutional right to become a citizen if you were born in this country.
43% : We had attacks on affirmative action.
28% : We had Prop. 187, which targeted social services for undocumented migrants, including public school for their children, which was later deemed unconstitutional.
