Can you guess which state is working on providing unemployment benefits to illegal immigrants crossing our U.S. borders, illegally? If you guessed the state of California, you’re on the money.
A California bill is set for review this week as the state prepares for an insane increase of migrants flowing in following Title 42’s expiration.

According to the Safety Net for Workers Act, or SB 227, the bill would provide $300 a week for up to 20 weeks to laid-off immigrants paid by state funds.
“Every day, undocumented immigrants contribute to California’s economic prosperity in agriculture, construction, clothing and other industries,” said the bill’s sponsor, state Sen. María Elena Durazo. “Yet immigrants continue to be shut out from California’s economic success due to unjust exclusions from the safety net.”
We are guessing middle-class, hardworking, tax-paying Americans take a back seat, yet again. California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill like SB 227, sharing that the bill needed more work to address “operational issues and fiscal concerns.”
The state is experiencing major financial issues — Newsom announced Friday that the state’s budget deficit grew to nearly $32 billion. According to Fox News, that figure is $10 billion more than what was anticipated.
A record 83,000 migrants crossed the border last week, yet U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said border agents saw a 50% drop in the number of border crossers over the weekend.
According to the New York Times, San Diego reported 15,000 migrants gathering in Tijuana last week, filling hotels, shelters, and making camp throughout the state while waiting for Title 42 to expire.
