State and local open borders politicians are moving to grant coronavirus relief to illegal aliens, despite millions of Americans continuing to suffer from the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom recently met<\/a> with the state Legislature to produce a coronavirus relief plan to aid the state\u2019s illegal alien population that is not covered by the federal government\u2019s $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The California plan seeks to provide financial assistance to\nillegal aliens who lost work due to businesses shutting down as a result of the\noutbreak. These were jobs that they were holding illegally in the first place.\nThe plan is expected to be publicly revealed in May. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite illegal aliens already costing California taxpayers more than $23 billion annually<\/a>, the highest of any U.S. state, Newsom somehow continues to ignore the burdensome costs. Rather than take care of his colossal homeless populations<\/a>, or Californians hurt medically and financially by COVID-19, he continues to find ways to balloon costs for illegal aliens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCalifornians care deeply about the undocumented residents\nin this state,\u201d Newsom said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In Chicago, Mayor Lori Lightfoot recently signed<\/a> an executive order enabling illegal aliens to receive the city\u2019s coronavirus relief benefits. The relief includes a Housing Assistance Grant program and a $100 million Chicago Small Business Resiliency Fund. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHere in Chicago, saying \u2018we\u2019re all in this together\u2019 means\nthat during this crisis, no one gets left out and no one gets left behind,\u201d\nLightfoot said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite Chicago also having one of the largest illegal alien populations and Illinois\u2019 illegal alien population costing state taxpayers roughly $3.2 billion annually<\/a> (ranking no. 6 nationally), Lightfoot apparently believes that granting more funding for illegal aliens is somehow a good idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nEven in the time of a pandemic, state and local open borders politicians can\u2019t\nseem to stray away from their political agendas. Rather than take care and\nprioritize those who elected them, they continue to spend a significant amount\nof time and resources to fight for those who have broken our federal\nimmigration laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
