California Gov Brown urges focus on unemployed before Vietnamese refugees
Gov. Edmund G Brown Jr says California must first aid its own jobless and financially stressed residents before accepting new Vietnamese refugees. He cites 952,000 out of work, 2.4 million on welfare or medical aid, and 4 million near poverty, urging no blanket refugee plan until California’s needs are addressed. Assembly Speaker Leo McCarthy echoes concerns over lack of plan and potential school challenges for Vietnamese children.
