California is set to issue stimulus checks to illegal immigrants after the state legislature approved a multi-billion dollar coronavirus relief package on Monday.
The $7.6 billion proposal, spearheaded by Gov. Gavin Newsom, includes 5.7 million payments of $600 each to low-income Californians making less than $30,000 a year and $2.1 billion in grants for small businesses. Of the massive sum of checks, 565,000 payments will be delivered to people who did not receive the federal government's previous $1,200 stimulus check in the Golden State, many of whom are residing in the country illegally.
