[quote=article]California will give cash payments to immigrants living in the country illegally, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday, using a mix of taxpayer money and charitable contributions to give 150,000 adults $500 each during the coronavirus outbreak.[/quote]

I just can’t even imagine why. This is just wrong. Taking from taxpayers in one country to give to people who aren’t taxpayers from another country. It just is ethically wrong.

Makes perfect sense to me. $500 is just a small tiny token of our appreciation for all the work that they do.
Btw, 40% is coming from private donations.

The appreciation they get for the work they do is THE MONEY PEOPLE PAY THEM FOR THE WORK THEY DO.

I take no issue with the 40%. It’s the $75 million in taxpayer money that is beyond offensive. As bad as anything Trump has done, well – except for claiming Absolute Power.

Relax this is peanuts compared to what will be siphoned off under the table from the stimulus/socialism package.

So instead of spending half a trillion a year murdering people in countries not worth our time, we’d be spending money on healthcare, education, infrastructure, and other nice things? if that’s socialism, count me in.

Being opposed to one of those two does not imply support for the other.

Nothing wrong with socialism. In fact, a great thing to have around for those times
When wall st. capitalists cry for a bailout.

“said Newsom, who noted 10% of the state’s workforce are immigrants living in the country illegally who paid more than $2.5 billion in state and local taxes last year.”

And got those taxes back in using the Earned Income Credit …

“Newsom said the money will not be distributed based on income. “Their personal information will not be required to get those support,”

So the recipients are worried about deportation so they won’t have to give their name. Get in line, collect $500, then get back in line….

Wouldn’t it be nice if Newsom showed more concern for the middle class who are out of work and pay the lions share of the tax collected.

It seems politically dumb.

I could see like free canned goods if you’re starving. B ut $ seems ridiculous. Which voting bloc is in favor of this

How will this even work? So can I pretend to be undocumented and collect $500? It can’t be that easy.

I would be undocumented….I didn’t bring any ID prior to picking up a check.

A better plan would be to just hand out $500 to everyone with a california drivers license, realId or not, no income requirement

meh. I don’t care. My auto insurance is giving back s rebate check. And people staying home are apparently buying computers. AMD is a $57
after falling to $42. I’m call optioned out again, lol. Please people, remain at home and spend more of that stimulus check!

Just kidding.

Ive never seen you in person, but demographically I have a feeling they will racially profile you and won’t believe you that you are undocumented once they look at you. Me? I could dress to look like I’m fresh off the boat. BUT, I’ll tell you what, since maybe I can go multiple times by just changing my hair style, I’ll go pick up a check for you, I’ll just take a small 10% cut.

Just kidding, sort of.

I didn’t even think of that. Wow. How do you document that you are undocumented ?

Cali: What is your name:
Me: Vladmir Wang Rodriguez
Cali: Hm. We have no record of you. Here is your $500.

Maybe Barnaby should ask for Mortgage Forbearance and this!

*Ask for $500 EACH time until they run out of money.

*Then ask the accessor’s office for a deferral of tax payments saying you have no money.

*Then ask the banks for a mortgage forbearance.

*Don’t forget to call SDGE, San Diego Water, and your cell phone company, and say you can’t pay your next 3 months bill, and ask for a deferral.

*Top it off by buying a bunch of trees and shrubs at home depot. Plant the news ones, dig up your old ones and return your old ones as the new ones.

*Lunchtime: go to Costco and buy a pizza and free drink, and eat everything except the last slice. Then complain “this isn’t a pepperoni pizza, a pepperoni pizza has 5 pepperonis, not 4…” and get a refund on the entire pizza. Don’t forget finish the last piece (like last time some lady in front of me did). Don’t forget when you go back to costco, to bring back your cup and get a free drink refill.

Hey, maybe we are onto something. We can write a “Freeloading for Dummies” book, lol.

Hey man, not many people can top me when if it really comes down to working/abusing the system. It’s in my culture and blood!

Program does not give directly.

Gives to community leaders who dole it out.

Hmmm…
