A California bill that would provide unemployment benefits to illegal immigrants is set for review this week as the Golden State braces for an influx of migrants following Title 42's expiration.
SB 227, or the Safety Net for All Workers Act, would provide laid-off illegal immigrants with $300 per week for up to 20 weeks with funds from state coffers. In March, the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted a resolution supporting the statewide bill.

Trump was naïve when he started in politics. He assumed that people in DC were basically good and patriotic. I guarantee you he isn't naive any more................

Everything is broken. Nothing is working the way is was designed to operate and I think that there is some agenda to this happening.
What is fleeing California are businesses and productive tax payers. What is moving into California has 1/2 the earnings of those fleeing. This is not sustainable. 1% of wage earners pay 40-50% of all state taxes - and this base is fleeing as well - going to states that don’t have state taxes.
That, along with the black population demanding $800 billion for reparations in a non-slave state that explicitly forbade slavery in its constitution.
I suspect Gov. Newsom will ride all of this out and retire to Montana where he has family and a home.
