SAN FRANCISCO—California will create a $125 million assistance fund for illegal immigrants who have lost work due to the coronavirus pandemic but can’t access traditional unemployment insurance, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday.
The program, the first of its kind since the recent economic slowdown began, will consist of $75 million from the state and another $50 million that Mr. Newsom said philanthropic partners have committed to raise.

California has a homeless issue and GavinNewsom is going to give money to illegal immigrants? Why is he not using that money to help homeless legal citizens?
What about the American citizen college students who are receiving no aid because they are older than 14 but still dependents on their parent’s tax return? Why do they get forgotten? Where’s the fairness there? Many work and pay taxes.
Go figure. Only in CA! That state just can’t churn out any good leaders and the current is no exception!
According to a study by the PEW research center, undocumented immigrants in CA contribute more than 3 Billion in state and local taxes. $125 million is .004% of their own contribution.
But yet they need federal funds for their states cities and counties. Bullshit to that
Real Americans should come first. Boycott California
Booooo
Good! Like it or not, our economy is dependent upon them. They're humans also, trying to provide for their families same as you.
Idiocy.

American tax payer money going to criminal illegal aliens? This is treason.
Good thing the documented citizens are paying.
He does not talk out of both sides of his mouth, on one side saying they’re illegal and therefore don’t exist, and on the other saying they are a big link in the supply chain. The true, humane side: they are a big link in the supply chain
Empress Pelosi will be sure it's in the relief bill so relax
Forget the thousands of homeless, illegals more important.
Congratulations california on lunacy award
As long as you keep the federal government and my taxes out of it that’s fine
Who’s money
How should undocumented immigrants, such as laid off tech workers in Silicon Valley, access California's 'assistance fund' meant to help them ride out the novel coronavirus crisis?
Now that local government know who's illegal there and got them rounded up... why not deport them back home realDonaldTrump
Spending money that could be used to help AMERICANS in need, these left wing liberals care nothing about U.S. citizens.
ALL STATES SHOULD DO THIS.
This is sick.
Money for votes, not for the American people.
it's stuff like this which will ultimately internally fracture the country beyond repair.
Democrats gotta pay one of their key voting blocs.
Democrats are doing everything go they can to prevent illlegal aliens from self-deporting until at least the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
Most progressive state in country
カリフォルニアの1億2,500万ドルの基金は失業保険を利用できない不法就労者を助ける国で初めてのものだ。
This very well be the tipping point for California. If not, lord help us! We are broke and owe billions in unfunded liabilities. This sends the message to millions of future illegal immigrants to start your journey - free money is waiting. Gavin, who do you represent?
If there is a stipulation of deportation attached to this then ok. Actually no. That’s fucked up. We need to focus on USA first right now. I’m sure the illegals will understand. Gotta keep the country alive and amazing or they won’t have anything to steal.
Never get too attached to anyone unless they also feel the same towards you, because one sided expectations can mentally destroy you.
What documents are required to qualify as undocumented?
California got this for us all right now!!
Who comes up with the $125M since California can’t print money or which citizens do without to fund this
Rock on! finally someone steps up to the plate.
Where is the line?! I suppose it’s cash and go, no questions asked. 😜🙈
Indeed, a noble initiative. And, if you really want the economy to boost.... is to release all 'legal' Californian people from their debts. We did for Africa, why not for your own people.
It must be strange living in a country where healthcare is something you can buy, if you have money in the bank.
This is insane! I don't want my tax money supporting this plan !
They build or homes, pick ALL of our fruits and vegetables and work in all the restaurants. They’re essential
Imagine instead of sending people who have cut the line and broken our laws, back to the country they came from, you give them money LiberalLogic
Hand deliver the checks and bring handcuffs
Bankrupt state writing checks...
Illegal aliens
Pathetic GavinNewsom
If the alternative is having them go underground and possibly spread the virus unchecked, I’d be fine with it.
