Newsom Rustles Up More Cash for Illegal Aliens in California"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
Some illegal aliens in California will share $125 million<\/a> in coronavirus assistance through a program funded by the state and a network of immigration groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a> touted the relief package as an \u201cunprecedented\u201d effort to help a group he euphemistically called \u201cworking Californians.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some 150,000 illegal aliens will receive a one-time cash benefit of $500, with a cap of $1,000 per household. Small change for a tiny slice of the estimated 2 million illegal aliens in the state, one might say. But adding another payout to illegally present individuals is a slap in the face to actual Californians who are among the 22 million American workers<\/a> who have lost their jobs and livelihoods since the onset of the COVID-19 crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Newsom\u2019s announcement came the day before unemployment claims by legal California residents topped 2.8 million<\/a>. Amid this avalanche of filings, the U.S. Department of Labor<\/a> reported that the state\u2019s unemployment fund had fallen below recommended solvency levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are all in this together,\u201d Newsom said. \u201cOur\nundocumented neighbors and friends should know that California is\nhere to support them during this crisis.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n As politicians make similarly soothing pledges\nto illegal aliens across the land, it ought to be evermore obvious that public\nfunds and\nresources are finite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWith record numbers of Americans filing for unemployment benefits and not having enough money to put food on the table, these politicians should take a look in the mirror and truly reflect on their unjustifiable decision making,\u201d FAIR<\/a> noted last week in a critique of government giveaways to illegal aliens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
