Democrats in California continue to flout laws making it illegal to sneak into the United States by rewarding such lawlessness with benefits paid for by citizens.
The latest gift to illegal immigrants is a $125 million Wuhan coronavirus ‘bonus,’ most of which will be paid for by the state’s taxpayers.
On Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the program, stating that $75 million would come from state funds while the other $50 million would be donated by corporations and philanthropists. In all, about 150,000 illegal aliens living in the state will receive $500 each.
Fox News reported:
California has had an estimated 2 million immigrants living in the country illegally. They have not been eligible for the $2.2 trillion stimulus package approved by Congress last month, which pledged cash payments to most Americans while boosting unemployment benefits by $600 per week.
“We feel a deep sense of gratitude for people that are in fear of deportations that are still addressing essential needs of tens of millions of Californians,” Newsom said, noting that at least 10 percent of California’s workforce consists of people who are in America illegally.
And while he also said they pay some $2.5 billion a year in state and local taxes, that’s the least they can do given that they didn’t have to go through any process to come into the country legally, like hundreds of thousands of other immigrants do every year.
The network reported that a group of charities has only coughed up about $5.5 million of the $50 million that is supposed to come from people other than taxpayers “including the Emerson Collective, Blue Shield of California Foundation, the California Endowment, the James Irvine Foundation, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and an anonymous donor.”
