Written by Michael Palomba<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Governor Gavin Newsom\u2019s coronavirus response has been decent for the most part, but that changed last week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Newsom announced that he would be creating a program to give payments to illegal aliens in the state. He said that $125 million has been allocated and $75 million of that is state funding. Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees committed to raising the remaining $50 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

Around 150,000 illegal immigrants will be receiving $500 cash payments, with a $1,000 cap per household.\u00a0<\/span>This is ridiculous on so many levels, and I don\u2019t even understand how it’s legal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First off, any 18-24 year old who is claimed as a dependent was left out of the federal stimulus payments. Why isn\u2019t Newsom offering American college students money before catering to illegal immigrants?<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, illegal immigration is estimated to cost the U.S. hundreds of millions <\/span>annually<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/i> Why is more taxpayer money being given to people who already drain public resources at a much higher rate than they pay into them?<\/span><\/p>\n

Is this a decision that most Americans would support? No, of course not.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is Newsom pandering to illegal immigrants for political points. During a crisis, the governor is trying to benefit himself politically. Americans\u2014and Californians especially\u2014should be the first and only priority right now, and always.<\/span><\/p>\n

Illegal immigration is a crime, plain and simple. Newsom is literally giving our tax money to criminals in the midst of a pandemic where 22 million Americans have filed for unemployment. I don\u2019t understand how this is allowed, but I certainly hope it will be challenged in court or stopped by the Trump Administration.<\/span><\/p>\n
