    SACRAMENTO, CA     According to sources, California Governor Gavin Newsom is condemning the recent trend of charter flights full of illegal migrants arriving in his state as "cruel and unusual punishment."

    "What kind of heartless bully would load migrants into a plane and send them to California, of all places?" said an angry Newsom in a statement from his private banquet room at The French Laundry. "We don't even have water, electricity, or housing here! Whoever is doing this is inhumane. No migrant should be forced to live in a state with so many problems."

    "Not that any of that is my fault or anything."

    The Governor is calling on law enforcement to find out who is responsible for the flights to the sanctuary state of California so he can send them back to a place where they at least have a shot at a better life.

    "This is cruel and unusual punishment. Whoever did this should be ashamed," Newsom said. "Migrants deserve better than a place like this."

    At publishing time, the arriving migrants elected to return to Ecuador after seeing the state of California.
