California announced a $500 economic stimulus payment intended to benefit undocumented migrants and illegal aliens living in California. Basically, we noticed that they all got left out of the earlier payments by Congress, which is a little bit of an oversight. The program could also go to US citizens as well, because anyone married to a foreign citizen is completely ineligible for economic stimulus payments.
You're welcome, sir. I happy we can do something to help our fellow Christians survive this crisis.
There is one catch. If an undocumented accepts this money, in a state program intended to serve them, the federal government can declare them to be a "public charge", which is grounds to be deport immediately. So it's quite a huge risk to collect government benefits one is entitled to.
