Crispy enough to crunch, soft enough to enjoy. A good bake.
Summary
This opinion piece criticizes California's "Farmworker Housing Component of the Low-Income Weatherization Program," which the author frames as providing solar panels to undocumented immigrants. The author argues this represents misplaced priorities, wasteful spending on "green dreams," and erosion of the rule of law in California. The article cites Christopher F. Rufo and Austen Hufford of the Manhattan Institute, and criticizes the state's cap-and-trade program.

That's what's wrong with our beautiful state, in a nutshell. We are chasing 'green' dreams, giving away freebies to people who have no right to be here, while wasting our money and eroding the rule of law.
It's all in one policy: the 'Farmworker Housing Component of the Low-Income Weatherization Program.'
