Ruben Navarrette : The federal government has quickly stepped in to help California after disasters.

He says the response to Hurricane Sandy , Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Sandy have been met with opposition from Republicans .

But Republicans have suggested that California needs to change its policies before it gets federal aid.

Navarro: California pays far more to the federal government than it receives in benefits; it's not a political ploy.

There have been 24 confirmed fatalities in the California fires, as of writing.

But contrast that with the nearly 3,000 people killed by Hurricane Maria on the island of Puerto Rico , more than were killed during 2005 ’s Hurricane Katrina .

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) said that it “appears to us that state and local leaders were derelict in their duty in many respects”.
