California GOP pushes back on bill that would give unemployment benefits to illegal immigrants
Fox News
Several California GOP members are pushing to veto a new Democratic pushed senate bill that would provide unemployment benefits to illegal immigrants.
In a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom, Jones explained that the Employment Development Department (EDD) is still recovering from its shortcomings in managing the overwhelming demand for benefits following the COVID-19 shutdowns.
SB 227, introduced by Democratic Senator María Elena Durazo, would require the EDD to develop a detailed plan to establish a permanent Excluded Workers Program to provide cash assistance that resembles unemployment insurance benefits to unemployed workers who are ineligible for unemployment insurance due to their immigration status.
