California undocumented workers will receive between $500 and $1000 as part of a $125 million coronavirus disaster relief fund, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday.
"We feel a deep sense of gratitude for people that are in fear of deportation but are still addressing the essential needs of tens of millions of Californians," Newsom said Wednesday."And that's why I'm proud as governor to be the very first state to announce a program for direct disaster assistance to those individuals."Newsom said that 10% of California's workforce is undocumented. And though they paid over $2.
The state's funds will be dispersed through regional nonprofits who have experience serving undocumented communities and personal information from undocumented workers will not be required, according to CNN affiliate KTLA. It is not clear when those funds would be dispersed. Immigrant advocacy groups lauded the state's effort."This virus doesn't discriminate -- it doesn't care about race, class, or wealth. Our response to this crisis shouldn't either.
