The following report is by The Washington Free Beacon:
Democratic state senators passed Senate Bill 227 by Sen. María Elena Durazo (D.) with a 30-7 vote, sending the measure to the Assembly for approval. The legislation would offer undocumented aliens up to 20 weeks of unemployment benefits if they meet minimal work requirements.
California’s unemployment insurance fund, which was defrauded of some $31 billion during the COVID-19 pandemic, would be in charge of dispensing the checks. California employers are on the hook for the fund’s $20 billion debt in the form of higher payroll taxes that threaten employee-heavy small businesses and restaurants already devastated by California Democrats’ strict COVID-19 lockdowns.
Under SB 227, unemployment fund officials would be barred from asking for claimants’ social security number eligibility or contacting past or present employers to verify their job status. Instead, applicants would self-attest that they meet the requirements for the weekly checks: having earned at least $1,300 or worked at least 93 hours over three months. Acceptable documentation would include tax returns, transaction logs on payment apps, and receipts that show a commuting pattern.
The State Senate passed the measure just months after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D.) said the undocumented migrant influx could “break” California. Earlier this month, when President Joe Biden lifted the federal Title 42 health order restricting immigration, Democratic San Diego mayor Todd Gloria complained that his city would be overwhelmed and lacks “the resources to address an influx of migrants,” according to the New York Times.
The Golden State already offers free health coverage and driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. More than two million illegal immigrants live in California.
Tuesday’s measure sailed easily through the State Senate. A formidable list of Democratic-aligned lobbying groups are pushing for its passage, including immigration, LGBT, and environmental organizations as well as powerful labor unions.
The law is expected to pass the Assembly, but Newsom has not said whether he plans to sign it. When he was inaugurated, Newsom labeled California a “sanctuary” state
welcoming illegal immigrants. He has called the state a “model of partnership for a safe and welcoming border.” Last year, however, Newsom vetoed a similar bill that would have established an unemployment insurance pilot program for undocumented workers, saying “this bill needs further work to address the operational issues and fiscal concerns, including a dedicated funding source for benefits.”

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[43] The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. [44] He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. Deuteronomy 28:43-44
Being fulfilled, again, as the Lord continues to curse this land for its wickedness.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Normally I’d be appalled but as you reminded us, Jacob: this is GOD’S JUDGEMENT on America! Not just California but ALL 50 STATES are going to COLLAPSE!
Rejecting the King James Bible is what started this!
Florida has been giving all kinds of “benefits” and money to illegals for years. Rick Scott, previous governor, is responsible for bringing 5000+ families into the state and giving them free homes. Florida gives: housing allowance, electricity allowance, gas allowance (for vehicles,) free medical & dental care, free transportation to and from medical/dental appointments, free food from donated sources (only available to children in public schools who “qualify,”) free breakfast and lunch to children that qualify at school (and this includes when school is CLOSED for the summer,) all this on top of EBT cards for food PLUS $1,000 check PER CHILD PER MONTH. (The $1,000/child per month was a little-known fact years ago by the general public but I had a mom in our homeschool group that worked in the financial office of a large hospital that told me this was going on because she had to research all income for those asking for further assistance.) Not to mention the fact that most of the illegal men are working and getting paid cash under the table.
The illegals, previously known for their Catholic beliefs, are no longer marrying so the woman appears like a single mom to the state so she can receive more benefits. You are supposed to proclaim everyone in the house every 6 months when renewing EBT benefits for food, but they obviously are not obeying this law and it’s definitely not being enforced. It’s not unusual for the state to give the single mom a home to live in and then give her another home to rent out so she will have income. (My family witnessed this back in 2010. On the same street we lived on, there was a family and the woman claimed to be single with 3 kids with one being a special needs child, although he got on a school bus every day. In addition to the house she was given by the state, the state also gave her a house on the same block so she could rent it out for income. The man that was the father of the 3 children in the house, lived there full time and had a lucrative landscaping business and that family threw beer-filled parties, complete with the rented huge tent set-ups, every weekend.)
THIS, among other things, was the main reason we moved out of Florida over 2 years ago.
