Democrats less welcoming to GOP-voting immigrants

"In 1975 when Republican President Gerald Ford asked California to accept half a million Vietnamese refugees, then-Gov. Jerry Brown told him to drop dead. Brown’s argument was, “We can’t be looking 5,000 miles away and at the same time neglecting people who live here.”
And then he threatened to block refugee flights into Travis Air Force Base, just outside San Francisco.
But that was back when refugees were fierce anti-communists who voted Republican.
As we have learned, the Democrats still don’t want them. I guess California is only a “sanctuary” for those willing to shut up and toe the Democratic Party line."
