On Jan. 1, illegal immigrants in California received free medical care. That was thanks to Assembly Bill 133, which Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law in July 2021. Cost: $4 billion more a year, as an estimated 764,000 illegal immigrants are added to the already stuffed rolls of the 14.6 million Californians on Medi-Cal, the state’s version of the Medicare program.
At the signing almost three years ago, Mr. Newsom exclaimed, “We’re investing California’s historic surplus to accomplish transformative changes we’ve long dreamed of—including this historic Medi-Cal expansion to ensure thousands of older undocumented Californians, many of whom have been serving on the front lines of the pandemic, can access critical health care services.”
Oops! That was when the state enjoyed a nearly $100 billion budget surplus. Now it’s suffering a deficit of $38 billion, according to Mr. Newsom’s Jan. 10 budget proposal. Or $58 billion, according to the Legislative Analyst’s Jan. 13 analysis of that proposal.
Next up: Senate Bill 277, by state Sen. Maria Elena Durazo (D-Los Angeles). It would give unemployment benefits to illegal aliens. According to the analysis by the Assembly Appropriations Committee, “This bill establishes, until January 1, 2027, upon appropriation by the Legislature, the Excluded Workers Program (EWP) administered by the Employment Development Department (EDD) to provide income assistance to workers ineligible for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits.” ...
Here’s the problem, though... giving unemployment benefits to illegal aliens would make the EDD system even more ripe for fraud than it already is. Many illegal immigrants pay into the system now. But how do we know they’re actually doing the work claimed? What if they’re laid off officially, collect EDD benefits, but then are hired back unofficially for the same jobs? By definition, “illegal” involves at least some measure of illegality.

Every day, in every way, California Democrats show their hatred and contempt for working American citizens. And Californians - especially the women - continue to vote for them.

Right, Kalifornia is just rolling in dough, don’tcha know /s/
US citizens lose a little of each paycheck because we need to buy unemployment insurance.
The illegals just get that stuff for free. Like the hotels, the travel, and $9000 monthly stipend. Expect about 50 million more to come here soon because all the good stuff is here, free, and requires no work at all (by them).
Well, what do you expect? The commie trash in charge need to entice more criminals to CaCaLand so that they, the CT, can print out mailin ballots in their names and fill them out at every election.
So long as mailin is allowed there can never be another honest election — THAT IS THE POINT!
The GOP did nothing to fix this problem in any state, so expect the CT to cement their power in Nov — forever.
If I was an illegal immigrant, this is the destination................
FREE STUFF.................as long as it lasts.
The RAT model is to become, effectively, Lord of the Flies.
I have seen many seniors who physically cannot stand for 3-4
hours to vote. Do you oppose mail in for them?
They say what happens in California, soon happens everywhere...
“The GOP did nothing to fix this problem in any state,”
Florida fixed it. DeSantis turned a purple state RED!
While Trump was telling R’s not to mail in DeSantis was telling R’s to vote early!
Marxist Dems are buying votes. Pa. Dem official is introducing bill to allow illegals to vote.
They have a thing called wheelchairs. I’m 70 and had to use one when I broke my ankle.
Abbot and DeSantis you know what to do...
bttt
I wonder how much California gives to veterans?
It’s not their own money so democrats will give it away until the nation collapses.
Okay, every state and community in the country should advertise this, Abbot should start busing them to the Bay Area and Sacramento. Flood the state, empty the rest of these illegals. Then, we can block off California, round them up, and deport them. And put California into receivership once illegals bankrupt them.
What could the reason be?!
