In a recent episode of The DeVory Darkins Show, the host explored the implications of Eric Swalwell’s resignation from Congress and the California race. The episode featured an interview with Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who is running for governor of California. Bianco shared his views on immigration, sanctuary city policies, and his gubernatorial priorities.
Immigration and Law Enforcement
Sheriff Chad Bianco has positioned himself as a staunch advocate for law and order, particularly concerning illegal immigration. He stated, “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re breaking the law and you’ve got to go.” Bianco emphasized the need for a functional immigration system, criticizing the lengthy process for legal immigrants to gain citizenship. He argued that those who enter the country legally should have a streamlined path to citizenship, while those who enter illegally should face deportation.
Bianco’s stance on immigration has been a focal point of his campaign, especially in light of past controversies regarding his views on amnesty. During the interview, he clarified that he does not support amnesty for illegal immigrants, reinforcing his commitment to deporting those who are in the country unlawfully.
Sanctuary City Policies
Bianco criticized California’s sanctuary state policies, citing personal experiences as a sheriff dealing with repeat offenders who are illegal immigrants. He recounted a tragic incident involving a dispatcher killed by a drunk driver who was an illegal alien with prior DUI convictions. “The sanctuary state policy in this state is an absolute disaster,” Bianco stated, arguing that it makes California less safe and should be repealed.
He expressed frustration with the state’s restrictions on law enforcement’s ability to cooperate with ICE, which he believes contributes to ongoing safety issues. Bianco called for legislative action to address DUIs committed by illegal aliens, highlighting the need for immediate deportation in such cases.
Gubernatorial Priorities
If elected governor, Bianco aims to make California oil independent by removing environmental restrictions on oil production. He plans to lower gas prices by increasing in-state oil production and reducing reliance on foreign imports. “We will have the lowest cost gas in the country,” he asserted.
Bianco also intends to address California’s water infrastructure issues by building new dams and reducing business regulations to stimulate economic growth. He proposed eliminating the state income tax as part of his broader strategy to improve the state’s economic landscape.
Response to Mask Policies
Bianco criticized the political motivations behind mask policies for ICE enforcement officials, describing them as “political theater.” He supported ICE officials wearing masks to protect their privacy and safety, citing instances where their families faced harassment due to their roles in immigration enforcement.
Bianco’s comments reflect his broader commitment to supporting law enforcement and ensuring their ability to perform their duties without undue political interference.
Broader Implications
Sheriff Chad Bianco’s candidacy for governor highlights significant issues facing California, from immigration reform to economic revitalization. His focus on law and order, coupled with plans for regulatory and tax reforms, underscores the challenges and potential changes the state could experience under new leadership. As California navigates political shifts, the policies and priorities outlined by candidates like Bianco will play a crucial role in shaping the state’s future.
