Democrat politicians care more about ILLEGAL citizens than AMERICAN citizens. Just like W. and Jeb!
Western Civilization.
It was fun while it lasted.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on Wednesday plans to give cash payments to adult immigrants living illegally in the state to help them weather the coronavirus crisis.
The plan, which would use a mix of taxpayer money and charitable donations from corporations and philanthropists, will give 150,000 adults $500 each during the coronavirus outbreak, the governor said.
California has had an estimated 2 million immigrants living in the country illegally. They have not been eligible for the $2.2 trillion stimulus package approved by Congress last month, which pledged cash payments to most Americans while boosting unemployment benefits by $600 per week.
“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, a Democrat, who noted 10 percent of the state's workforce consisted of immigrants living in the country illegally who paid over $2.5 billion in state and local taxes last year.
Taxpayers would be kicking in $75 million for the money, while a group of charities has committed to raise another $50 million for a total of $125 million. A group of charities already has donated $5.5 million for the fund, including the Emerson Collective, Blue Shield of California Foundation, the California Endowment, the James Irvine Foundation, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and an anonymous donor.
Newsom said the money will not be distributed based on income. “Their personal information will not be required to get those support,” he added.

At $500 a pop it would be cheap, if only they would be expelled from the country.
Hell, give 'em another $1,000 as they leave, and a bullet if they try to come back.
Tax revenues (sales tax, gasoline taxes, California state income taxes) are plunging now. Here is what is coming from California:
1) California state government goes broke.
2) California demands Federal bailout money
incredible stuff in Mexifornia... wonder how they are going to verify that you are true illegal and not a US Citizen? Mexican papers?
self-deportation must be happening... I think a lot of the shutodwn residential construction and farms is a part of it
this whole scheme smells of money lanudering and fraud... any illegal cashing these payments should fall under the ‘public charge’ rule.

Immigrant Detainees Are Sitting On A COVID-19 Time Bomb - First Infection Reported (March 24, 2020)
Corrections, insights welcome.
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping COVID-19 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.
MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)
You’re most likely correct, but just sayin’. The charge is available to a federal prosecutor, that is if you can find one with the courage to go after him.
” ...essential needs of tens of millions of Californians. “
I think I see the problem here, This moron doesn’t ever know who Californians are.
And Trump should cut federal spending to California by the same amount because they obviously don’t need the federal money.
ROFL — good one!
Haha!! Just sayin’
To the Left it means voter.
Funneling money to criminal, illegal invaders has got to be stopped. Not one cent to California from the federal taxpayers.
Drop federal funds to state by same amount and flood them with ICE to round up and deport these illegals!!!
Federally taxable?
This is nuts. The $150million could’ve bought a few rolls of toilet paper or about a half dozen masks.
Meanwhile, he still stalls payments to fire victims.
This money should be going to CITIZENS of his state BASTARD!!!
As a California taxpayer I fully agree. I can't figure out what kind of stupid compels people to vote for the idiots who run the state.
Wanna know why dims want vote by mail?
There's your answer.
Life at hard labor for him sounds good.
we are a state that lets illegals out of jail to kill, rape and rob, without telling ICE We protect people who are here illegally and not taxpaying citizens. Nuisance was the mayor when Kate Steinlie was killed. look where he is now. In 20204 he will run for president.
