Some Sacramento politicians never tire of looking for ways to blur the distinction between legal workers and those who have broken into our country. Their latest gambit is to provide illegal immigrants with unemployment benefits.
Tell your legislators to reject AB 2847, unemployment benefits for illegal aliens!
Since current unemployment coverage appropriately prohibits such benefits to illegal workers, the legislation by Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella) would create a separate one-year pilot program. However, its backers admit they want to make it permanent.
Under the Excluded Workers Pilot Program, illegal workers who lose their jobs could receive $300 a week for up to 20 weeks. The bill would take effect in 2023 at a cost of $690 million.
We will never be able to stop illegal immigration until politicians learn the meaning of the term “illegal.”
Tell your legislators to stop this nonsense. Tell them to oppose AB 2847 by following the directions provided.
Thank you!
