California Bill Would Give Unemployment Benefits To Illegal Immigrants.
On Jan. 1, illegal immigrants in California received free medical care.
That was thanks to Assembly Bill 133, which Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law in July 2021.
Cost: $4 billion more a year, as an estimated 764,000 illegal immigrants are added to the already stuffed rolls of the 14.6 million Californians on Medi-Cal, the state’s version of the Medicare program.
At the signing almost three years ago, Mr. Newsom exclaimed, “We’re investing California’s historic surplus to accomplish transformative changes we’ve long dreamed of—including this historic Medi-Cal expansion to ensure thousands of older undocumented Californians, many of whom have been serving on the front lines of the pandemic, can access critical health care services.”

The bill, known as Senate Bill 227 or the Safety Net for All Workers Act, aims to offer income assistance to workers who are ineligible for regular state or federal unemployment insurance benefits due to their immigration status . The proposed benefits would provide undocumented immigrant workers who lose their jobs with $300 per week for up to 20 weeks
