California governor, GAVIN NEWSOM has announced that illegal Immigrants affected by Corona virus will get 500 dollars each.
The governor said State taxpayers will give out 75 million dollars from their Disaster Relief Fund, and another 50 billion will come from a network of philanthropic foundations to help illegal immigrants struggling to pay bills.
California has an estimated 2 million immigrants living in the country illegally but they are not eligible for the 2.2 trillion dollars stimulus package approved by Congress last month, which gives cash payments of 1,200 dollars to Americans.
Illegal immigrants will be able to apply for the money beginning in May.
