L.A. will provide cash assistance to immigrants affected by raids

Mayor Karen Bass announced a plan Friday to provide direct cash assistance to people who have been affected by the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration raids.

The aid will be distributed using cash cards with a “couple hundred” dollars on them, which should be available in about a week, Bass said at a news conference.

You have people who don’t want to leave their homes, who are not going to work, and they are in need of cash,” she said.

Bass spoke about a family she met who needed two incomes to afford their rent. After one of the breadwinners was detained in an immigration raid, she said, the family is concerned they may face eviction.

It was not immediately clear what the qualifications will be needed to receive the cards.

The mayor emphasized that the money will not come from city coffers but from philanthropic partners. The cards will be distributed by immigrants rights groups such as the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles.

Young people and lower income, people compete for scarce living spaces with the government and NGO's.

Seems fair to homeless and low income LEGAL citizens. Madness.

Uh-huh. That's Commie-speak for "taxpayers".

[InsidiousMongo]

UNREAL!!!

No regard or assistance for American citizens in LA who really need it!

[Texas Eagle]

Gee, Wally, why does it take two incomes to live in a Communist paradise like LA?

“It was not immediately clear what the qualifications will be needed to receive the cards.”

White men need not apply.

Just ask yourself - how do the likes of Karen Bass come up with seemingly endless money to fund their political and woke social-engineering schemes?

America can not really return to the small-government and self-reliant principles which built the nation, unless we have a complete overhaul of our monetary system (which will never happen)

[Churchillspirit]

"Philanthropic partners"

Wonder who they can be?

[dowcaet]

Bass just confirming to all of us the Democrats care only about the votes of illegals above everything else.

Sounds like illegals there live in homes. Meanwhile American citizens in homeless camps are all over LA and increasing.

[rdcbn1]

How is this even legal.

[Red Badger]

And where will this money come from?........................

Bass spoke about a family she met who needed two incomes to afford their rent

I surmise that rent in their home country is a small fraction of what it is in LA or anywhere else in Kalifornia.

[Mariner]

This is a clear and unambiguous felony.

[maddog55]

They’ll just raise taxes to pay for the continued stupidity.

[alloysteel]

“Legal” has nothing to do with this misplaced show of “philanthropy”. The unregistered “visitors” to the United States have a standing offer to simply show up at major airports, and they will be provided a one-way passage for all of their family back to the land of their origin. Sure, it might be some kind of sh*thole country, but isn’t that what much of LA is fast becoming?
