Texas should follow since they depend on undocumented workers in farming here.

Go ahead and let them vote too while you're at it. Gotta be kidding me

mitchellreports We like to eat and these people make it possible. These are essential workers and should be treated with respect.

Who pay for?

How does one prove they’re undocumented if they’re undocumented. 🤔

This stimulus will be coming from taxpayers. Will these undocumented migrants getting five hundred dollars paying taxes?

How would you even do it, they probably don’t have a bank account or US id to cash a check?

That $500 will go a lot further than $1200 too.

Good, Then Our Economy WILL Bounce Back. Can you pass a bill to lower the Rental rates and California will be good CALi For Life

California should be totally excluded from the stimulus relief package as those funds will be paid back by the American tax payers, U.S. citizen only!

I’m the only person in America who gets nothing. Bezos, NASA, Kennedy Center, Wall Street, Ruth Chris, airlines, all the rich, the low income Americans (deservedly) and now “illegal” immigrants get stimulus help. My country hates me. McConnell Pelosi

There are nonprofits also helping. I just gave to one called 805undocufund

Why? They’re illegal. Legal citizens need the money!

If we don’t keep them healthy, we won’t be healthy

I’m so glad I never moved there. If I was a resident of Cali I would be outraged.

Don’t give it to the LEGAL residents but hand it to the ILLEGAL immigrants... Good Plan!!

💖💞

They pick your fruits & vegetables. They process your meat. They deliver your packages. They sanitize your workplaces & public places. They tend to your sick and elderly. They do the jobs you don’t want to do. They deserve your help. It’s the least you can do.

Is this communism, or are the capitalists afraid that these people will rob them of their assets

Mercy and love is louder and more powerful than hate.

Only 150k?

Good song, we only human

I have no problem with that, they are HUMAN FIRST!!!

$500 to last 6 months, sweet!

👎🤬🤬🤬

Here come the triggered fake Christians to demonize other tax payers

Fuck this.

I have no issue with this, but have to laugh that illegals can get help but then I have disabilities and get denied SSDI and have had no income for yrs as I fight to get SSI just to barely be able to survive... yet I can't get any help.

So the CA house is officially harbouring and protecting illegal aliens from being prosecuted from breaking US immigration laws! and the restaurants and taxis uber drivers and businesses can’t even get a bailout ❄️👉🏻🤡s Ok that state just went Red come November

Ooooh!! That's gotta hurt the right wing devotees right in the solerplexes.

we dont need immigrants anymore.......robots are here now

Good. They are human beings and most work hard, do jobs most Americans wont do and pay taxes they never get back

I heard $125,000,000. Do the math $125,000,000 approx $500 a piece. That's (drum roll please) 250,000 illegal immigrants in California alone.

Trump is not going to like this at all. Let's just hope he is confused by an act of humanity.

Crime does pay after all

🙏May the Lord help all those unfortunate human beings.🙏

Sends a message to the people of California, pay your taxes or face the IRS 🤨

That's right that's the humane thing to do

Some jerk on the far right said that aliens including farm workers should not be hired until every unemployed American citizen had a job. OK. come to California all you unemployed citizens, we have crops in the field that need harvesting and 7/11's that need clerks.

Yet they won’t pay reparations to African -Americans who are here legally and probably deserve it a lot more, just saying.

20 million Americans out of work and now the American tax payers are on the hook for checks to illegal immigrants.

“Illegals” pay taxes too...and perform millions of essential jobs
