The crisis has prompted the federal government to offer financial assistance to both individuals and businesses. For example, Congress has agreed to send direct money to people. However, this aid is largely not available to undocumented immigrants. The state of California decided to make aid available to undocumented immigrants. Below, California Governor Gavin Newsom explains his decision. “Our diverse communities in the State of California include our immigrant communities. I don’t know if many people know this, but it’s a remarkable thing. One half of our children in the State of California are born to at least one member of their family that is an immigrant, one half...This is a state where 27% of us are foreign born... And regardless of your status, documented or undocumented, there are people in need. This is a state that steps up always to support those in need regardless of status. 10% of California’s workforce is undocumented, 10%. Any over-representation of that workforce is undocumented in the areas that are so essential to meeting the needs of tens of millions of California’s today in the healthcare sector, in the agriculture and food sector, in the manufacturing and logistics sector, and in the construction sector. There’s an over-representation of people without documentation. By the way, paying just last year over two and a half billion dollars of local and state taxes. Those are individuals that do not benefit from the PUA program, don’t benefit from the UI, the unemployment insurance benefit program, don’t benefit from the stimulus that was just signed by the president…” -Gavin Newsom, April 15 briefing on Coronavirus What claim is Gavin Newsom supporting in this address?
