Amid Title 42's expiration, this broke blue state is considering unemployment for illegal immigrants
Fox News
A California bill that would provide unemployment benefits to illegal immigrants is set for review as Title 42's end brings a wave of migrants to the Golden State.
"We cannot take people’s money, take people’s taxes, take people’s labor and then deny them the very benefits and rights that they deserve and that they have earned," Supervisor Shamann Walton said at a protest before the board met.

Payroll taxes on illegal immigrants contribute $485 million a year to the state's Unemployment Insurance system, according to the Safety Net for All Coalition, a group of over 120 organizations across California seeking to expand welfare programs for undocumented workers. The weekly checks plus administrative expenses in the proposed legislation is estimated to cost $356 million in state funds.
