Once again, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) has gone to extraordinary lengths to reward illegal immigration and encourage illegal aliens to stay in the United States. On Wednesday, he announced that—due to the coronavirus pandemic—California will give $500 checks to 150,000 low-income illegal aliens. The cost to taxpayers will be $125 million.
This came a day after Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced that illegal aliens will be eligible to receive $1,500 checks that the city will be handing out to its residents.
What Newsom and Garcetti are doing is illegal under federal law. In 1996 Congress passed a major welfare reform act. A crucial section of that law prohibits states and localities from giving public benefits to illegal aliens. And it remains in federal law today at 8 U.S.C. 1621: an illegal alien “is not eligible for any State or local public benefit.” Public benefit includes “any … benefit for which payments or assistance are provided to an individual, household, or family eligibility unit by an agency of a State or local government….”
California officials are hoping that the federal government will reimburse 75% of the state’s coronavirus expenditures.
And Democrats in Congress are demanding that we federal taxpayers cough up the money.

Newsome can't do math..150,000 times 500 is 75 million..not 125 million... where's the rest of it going?
“California will give $500 checks to 150,000 low-income illegal aliens. The cost to taxpayers will be $125 million.”
That doesn’t add up. $50 million to produce and mail the checks? Unlikely.
Let see now we legal citizens get $1200.00 and the dems want to give the illegals $1500.00
What's wrong with that picture people?
Need to get rid of all dems period
Newson - that's how politicians get rich😂
There must be something in the water in CA that is all I can say. Liberal politicians there are NUTS...cases in point....Pelosi, Schiff, Waters, Newsom, Swalwell just to name a few. Who is Newsom trying to score points with...people who can't legally vote? And we thought Biden was bad, good Lord.
If it's the law that illegals can not receive public funds than Newson should be put in prison until his court case comes up. Just like any other citizen. 😂
By a show of hands. Who is still going to vote dim in November ?
It should be Illegal to give Anything to Illegals !!! PERIOD !!! Damn the Govt
STEALING OUR $$$$ !!!!
Damn that state , Trump needs to straighten their asses Out !!! 2020
