Anaheim pledges $250,000 for fund helping families affected by immigration sweeps

Anaheim will direct $250,000 to an assistance fund created to help families affected by the recent surge in federal immigration enforcement that will give grants for rent, utilities and other household expenses.

Last month, the city partnered with the nonprofit Anaheim Community Foundation to launch Anaheim Contigo, which accepts donations from the community to fund emergency assistance grants for families affected by the sweeps.

The $250,000 in new money for Anaheim Contigo, approved by a split 5-2 City Council on Tuesday, July 15, would significantly bolster the fund, which had received $35,000 in donations to date.

...

Councilmembers Natalie Meeks and Ryan Balius voted against supporting Anaheim Contigo with city dollars.

“The council approved a budget three weeks ago, and I believed that there was no excess,” Meeks said. “A reduction of $250,000 will have impacts to our community. And this agenda item asks this body to take this action with no information about what those impacts are.”

It’s amazing how much power these ‘migrants’ have.

$250,000? That won’t last a day. What a joke. Pedo Joe’s slave laborers are HIGH MAINTENANCE. These aren’t they old style migrants who only want an opportunity. The first thing the new SOB invaders want is a endlessly loaded government ATM cellphone, a new pair of Nikes, and a MLB hat for their favorite team.

Anaheim must be really doing well financially for them to fork over $250,000. Makes one want to pay taxes seeing them give away money. Maybe Anaheim can help the fire victims and the High Speed Train.

that will give grants for rent, utilities and other household expenses.

How about airfare? Or, at least, passage on a cargo ship?

Anaheim used to be a Republican or more conservative city.

Maybe it was Orange county more than the city of Anaheim.
Either way, enjoy where your tax dollars are going.

What % of Anaheim/ Ca is illegals?

Shouldn’t removing a good portion of those actually free up rental units and drive the pricing down?

I imagine Disneyland will up their admittance and parking lot fees and donate the money to the illegal alien marijuana “farmers”. Potheads gotta have their weed.

Look at this way, Anaheim is creating a list for immigration to know where the illegals are.

It would seem like the Anaheimers would take care of AMERICA’S HOMELESS FIRST.

Let the sanctuary cities fund their illegals until they are deported.
