California will be the first state to send money to illegal immigrants who did not qualify for assistance under the $2.2 trillion federal coronavirus stimulus package passed last month.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday announced the allocation of $75 million in taxpayer funds for $500 payments to 150,000 adult immigrants who are reeling from the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic. “We feel a deep sense of gratitude for people that are in fear of deportations that are still addressing essential needs of tens of millions of Californians,” said Newsom.

150 million wont go far, especially for a state courting bankruptcy.
I encourage democrats to keep pushing this, because its a sure electoral winning plan /S/

Since California has funds to spare, they shouldn’t mind if we direct $75 Million in Cali aid to somewhere else - like Alabama or Florida.
Seriously. Money is fungible. They in effect are having the Federal taxpayers nationwide fund their pernicious scheme.

And over half of that money will be wired to family in Mexico.
If I lived in Cali , I would be packing up to move.

There's no Covid-9 in Mexico (ask Biden). They can reel down there.

Well, I am happy to say that I escaped from the Hotel Mexifornia last year, so they'll never see my tax money again. It's only a matter of time before that place implodes.

This is the perfect scam. These so-called ‘non profits’ get the money and the illegals have nowhere to complain about where it went. It’s one thing to be an ignorant social justice warrior ambling around kicking up dust on the sidewalk. It’s totally another to be a flaming fool in charge of spending other people’s money in a State the size of California.

Oh! the poor illegals, the liberals have a heart that the Repubs don't have. Except that Conservatives say, (like my Mother used to tell me), charity begins at home.
Liberals are comprised by a bunch of do-gooders that are ALWAYS willing to give away OTHER peoples money, but NEVER their own!!

Have you ever had a Democrat family member, or close friend, who you tried your best to convert? It can't be done. They simply are part of the Party because.....they don't really know why, but they just are!! Nothing Trump does is good and everything that Pelosi does is just fine with them. It's why most Republicans don't talk Politics at family dinners or Parties where Democrats are joining them. It's a waste of time! So, that explains why so many in California elected a Democrat and think that what is happening in CA is perfectly okay!

This is why Trump's tax plan that limits your Federal deduction for the State taxes you pay, makes sense. If California wants to overtax it's citizens to pay for things like illegals (who WILL be sending much of those tax dollars 'home' to Mexico and elsewhere via those wire transfers) it should NOT be a charge that can be used to lessen taxes owed to the Fed - the rest of the nation at large. While the Fed does not tell states what to do with their own funds, we who do not live there should not be compelled to underwrite their follies.

In the past when populations of illegal aliens in the USA could not make enough money to survive and send money back to their home countries, mainly Mexico, large percentages of illegal aliens packed up and returned back home of their own accord.
These days the leftist and liberal Democrats consider the massive (realistically up to 22 million) illegal alien population to be future socialist Democrat voters following a general amnesty, in sufficient numbers to permanently overwhelm the Republican “deplorable” vote in enough areas of the country to keep the Democrats in perpetual political power in Washington, DC., and in States like California, enabling the Democrats to enact their radical leftist and socialist political agenda goals. That’s why the Democrats are willing to spend as much government money as necessary to keep illegal aliens in the USA, and have been obstructing every effective interior immigration law enforcement initiative using Democrat created bogus legal concepts at the State and local level, such as the so-called Sanctuary Cities fiascos that conflict with federal immigration laws, along with resisting President Trump erecting an effective borderline barrier (the wall) to stop the unlawful breaching of the US border by uncontrolled masses of illegal aliens, and smugglers of illicit drugs and all sorts of other contraband.

Heard in the news break on the radio announcing this. Sound clip from some public official, possibly the Gov Himself.
They need the unemployment money because "They, too, are doing essential jobs for us".
I couldn't make that up.

I can echo what Poster #15 said. My younger sister, was a die-hard liberal until the day she passed away. I loved her dearly, but political talk was verboten. I'm in South Louisiana and she was in Seattle, so we only had phones and email correspondence. She wanted us to facebook, but of the 5 siblings, she was alone in that. She raised her whole brood to be West Coast liberals, and now, they're estranged from the family. We were all raised in the mid-West by hard working, 1st generation parents, and the remaing 3 of us have never figured out what went wrong. As poster #15 said, you can never reason with them, or hardly even talk to them, without being chastised for not being as caring as they are, for being racist and xenophobic. It's easier to walk away.

In other news: CA will be robbers of banks, liquor stores, and muggers who have been hit hard by the shutdown and can't make ends meet because their targets are not available.
When asked for a comment, a spokesperson said, "CA needs to treat all criminals with equal respect and give them all taxpayer funded handouts. Hardworking taxpayers need to 'pay their fair what's to these criminals. Anything else would be... well, something-ist and something-phobic."

Illegal immigrants wouldn't be in fear of deportation if they hadn't jumped the fence in the first place. Best way for them to avoid this fear is to LEAVE. It's embarrassing to be a Californian, to have Newsom as governor, and to pander to illegals for their vote -- which this $500 payment is so blatantly doing. There is no compassion in this gesture. Only the typical democrat power grab.

Wow so many pessimistic opinions. So we are going to allow China to skate on this bio attack, because oriental communists never pay up? China is the main cause of this Corona virus with democrats probably being co-conspirators. Isnt it ironic this happened on the heels of the impeachement fail? Isnt it ironic lib American media have been downright giddy re bad news, resulting from Corona? Isnt it obvious some of the corona lingo and agenda the libs had ready to go from day one, were just a little too ready-made?
There are several avenues for remedy, retaliation for this bio attack on America and the world, for optimistic minded people. China is led by communist murderers. They need some payback, in spades.

Thanks to #1. Only the ignorant and the CDS sufferers wrap 5 million Republicans into the craziness that is happening in California. Unfortunately we will all pay for the Democrats misdeeds.

Last I heard there were only about 500 cases of COVID-19 in Mexico - out of a population of 120,000,000. They may want to use that money to go back home.

The Plains Indian tribes would follow the buffalo because it mean sustenance.
A stray dog will never leave your home if you give it food.
Gov. Newsom giving $500 to Illegals will keep them in California.
Seems like there is a lesson there somewhere.....

California can do as it well pleases. There is California, and then there is (Sacramento, LA and San Fran-scat-co). Workers and producers in conservative ''California'' are considered to be from outer space by the liberals.
