Newsom, lawmakers agree to $600 stimulus checks plus boost for undocumented workers

As Congress hammers out President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus package, California has worked out its own plan to get more cash into the hands of struggling Californians, particularly undocumented families left out of federal assistance.

[artichokegrower]

Sending thousands in relief to undocumented immigrants would be a political nonstarter in most other parts of the country. But not in California, which has used its growing Democratic super majority of legislators — of which one in four are Latino — to break economic barriers for those without legal status, granting them driver’s licenses, sending them low-income tax refunds, and expanding health care for undocumented children and young adults.

And Biden will bring this California philosophy to the rest of the United States soon

Couldn’t we all pretend to be undocumented? I mean there is no document/ID to prove you are undocumented?

Either recall Newsom web site below is OK. Mailing address on downloadable forms.

• Recall Newsom form (already 70% 80% 100%+ and pushing for 2,000,000 signatures, deadline March 10 (or March 17?))

• Rescue California – Recall Gavin Newsom

[BBQToadRibs2]

Because California is dripping with excess budget funds. Right?

[gathersnomoss]

Newsom purchases votes from ILLEGAL ALIENS by using federal tax write offs for his citizens. You and I pay for Mr. Beautiful’s largess. Thank The Resident.

Welcome to the Uncle Sugar-nanny Train.

What an eff’d up state

[Fai Mao]

So senor, I came from Cozumel 20 years a go. I had to change my name to not be discriminated against by the gringos.

‘Aunt Nancy, the Citizens are revolting!!”

...”Indeed they are revolting, Gavin. Deplorably so!”

[Billthedrill]

I mean there is no document/ID to prove you are undocumented?

If there isn't, there ought to be. I sense a business opportunity...

Gotta buy those illegal aliens vote

[oldbrowser]

I spoke to two undocumented aliens after the last California refund scam.
The illegals were supposed to get $500 if they applied. One person was from LA county the other was from Orange county.

Here is what they told me:
They were to call on the phone to apply. The phone lines were jammed and they were on hold for two days. On the third day they were informed in a recording that all the money had been given out and weren't accepting any more applications.

I suspect that the money went into a democrat slush fund and an audit is in order.

This is direct redistribution of wealth, from citizens to non-citizens. Right out of my pocket.

Why are American tax payers giving this money to illegal aliens????? They will just take it and send it back to Mexico. These illegals work for cash only and pay no Federal or State Income tax. I am retired and on SS and never have received a penny of these stimulous taxes.

[ridesthemiles]

This will certainly prove there are MORE than 11 million illegal INVADERS here in the USA.

I figure there are 11 million or more in California alone.

[nickcarraway]

I think there are probably 65 million illegals in the U.S.

[ridesthemiles]

A serious audit on the California Lottery for the portion that is supposed to go to school is in order.

[Texas resident]

11 million is such BS.

They forgot a one there.

111 million.

[Captain Compassion]

It seems that California has lots of funds. Guess they don’t need any federal $$$.
