California undocumented workers will receive between $500 and $1000 as part of a $125 million coronavirus disaster relief fund, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday.
"We feel a deep sense of gratitude for people that are in fear of deportation but are still addressing the essential needs of tens of millions of Californians," Gov. Gavin Newsom said as he announced the new fund on Wednesday."And that's why I'm proud as governor to be the very first state to announce a program for direct disaster assistance to those individuals.
Officials estimate 150,000 undocumented immigrants in the state will benefit."I'm not here to suggest that $125 million is enough. But I am here to suggest it's a good start, and I'm very proud it's starting here in the state of California," Newsom said.
