Under the proposal, employers would apply to hire guest workers through an online system, and a certain number of H-2A visas would be available for workers to fill year-round jobs, such as those in the dairy industry.

Zoe Lofgren, who introduced the bill, pointed out how throughout the pandemic Americans were still able to find food at the grocery store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And for that, we need to thank the farmers of this country, but we also need to thank the farmworkers of this country — a majority of whom are undocumented, a majority of whom have been here more than 10 years,” Lofgren said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Republicans argued that the bill would only encourage more migrants to come to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now we have a piece of legislation that says just come work on a farm and we’re gonna give you amnesty!” said Republican U.S. Rep. Jody Hice of Georgia. “1.5 million people are going to become citizens for working minimal time on farms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, only people already working in agriculture would qualify for legal status under the bill. To be eligible for citizenship, they’d need to remain in agriculture for a number of years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Making sure that people actually understand what’s a part of the bill is the most important part of getting support for it,” said Republican Congressman David Valadao, who represents California’s 21st District, not far from the citrus grove where Carrillo was working. Valadao is a key co-sponsor of the bill who’s working to bring other Republicans on board — specifically, senators from large agriculture-producing states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of states with Republican senators that have a lot of ag. I mean you’ve got Florida, you’ve got South Carolina, you’ve got North Carolina,” Valadao said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11866561\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1914px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11866561 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/RS48121_Lofgren-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1914\" height=\"1022\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/RS48121_Lofgren-qut.jpg 1914w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/RS48121_Lofgren-qut-800x427.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/RS48121_Lofgren-qut-1020x545.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/RS48121_Lofgren-qut-160x85.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/RS48121_Lofgren-qut-1536x820.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1914px) 100vw, 1914px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">California Democratic Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, who introduced the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, delivers comments during debate over the bill on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

She grabs some clothes and important documents, and then makes some sandwiches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the morning, she will begin her search for a Honduran father who was separated from his teenage son at the U.S.-Mexico border in 2018. Their names are being withheld because the case is sensitive and still in legal limbo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear how long Melara may be away from home — one night, perhaps more. She has learned that this work is unpredictable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11831289/how-covid-19-has-impacted-the-search-for-separated-families\">Melara\u003c/a> is an attorney working for \u003ca href=\"https://www.guidestar.org/profile/72-1597864\">Justice in Motion\u003c/a>, a U.S.-based nonprofit that has been tasked with trying to find and reunify families.

This week, the ACLU and the Biden administration agreed to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11864249/family-separations-lawsuit-u-s-and-aclu-start-settlement-talks\">enter settlement negotiations\u003c/a> in the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, much of the burden of finding the parents of separated children has been on nonprofits and lawyers coordinating across borders, particularly in Honduras and Guatemala, the home countries of many of the families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, President Biden signed an executive order to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11858316/biden-signs-immigration-executive-orders-establishes-task-force-to-reunite-separated-families\">establish a task force\u003c/a> focused on reunifying families separated by the Trump administration. But the details are still being worked out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press briefing on March 1, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said that parents may be able to choose to reunite with their children either in their country of origin or in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If in fact, they seek to reunite here in the United States, we will explore lawful pathways for them to remain in the United States and to address the family needs,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But so far, federal officials have not laid out concrete policy changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until they act, it’s up to people like Melara to make these trips, looking for people who were separated from their children and then deported by the U.S. government. Melara focuses on cases close to home, in Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Day One\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It’s 5 a.m. Monday, and Melara and a colleague who usually accompanies her on these searches head out. Their destination is a mountain town near the border with Guatemala. The drive should take four hours, on a good day. But today, it’s rainy and cold, and the traffic is piling up with everyone heading to work. It’s slowing things down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is Melara’s second time making this trip in the past four months. Since 2019, she has performed more than three dozen searches, many of them successful. She said the harm done to people who sought asylum in the U.S. motivates her to do this work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11858652\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11858652\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-5.jpeg 720w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-5-160x284.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dora Melara stops to get gas during her trip. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Dora Melara)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“There were people who were humiliated, who had their rights violated,” Melara said. “They have the opportunity to know that they can have justice for everything they’ve lived through.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s also a parent herself. The work can be personal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every interview and story I hear from the parents is sad, and it moves me,” she said. “As parents, we want to protect [our children].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/family-separations-biden-trump-honduras/2021/01/31/f6b815cc-6198-11eb-9430-e7c77b5b0297_story.html\">separated more than 5,500 children from their parents\u003c/a>. And while a majority of families have been reunited, hundreds of parents are still unaccounted for. That’s in part because the administration did not keep track of where the parents went. And contact information for them is often outdated or incomplete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Melara begins these searches, she usually has very little information — a name, maybe a location. Often, she finds that families have moved, or the information was inaccurate, and searching through government documents and online can only take her so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has to rely on the kindness of strangers — family members of the parent, or their neighbors — to point her in the right direction. But getting this information requires building trust, in person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why she drives long distances for even the slimmest chance of finding parents, despite any challenges — and there have been many. She has performed searches during the coronavirus pandemic. Later, government-enforced curfews prevented her from traveling. It was only in August that she was able to restart the searches in person, but fears of contracting the coronavirus have made building trust more challenging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, in November, two deadly hurricanes — Eta and Iota — swept through Honduras, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/04/world/americas/guatemala-hurricanes-mudslide-migration.html\">leaving more than 150,000 people displaced and hundreds dead\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The damage from the hurricanes has touched Melara directly. Her home in San Pedro Sula was hit by heavy floods, and while it wasn’t destroyed, nearly everything inside of it was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The house can’t be entered right now — it’s filled with mud,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, she has stayed with relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just two hours into her drive, Melara has already counted four rockslides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are warnings on the road that the roads are damaged and that we must drive with caution,” she said. “There are homemade signs that people have put up themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They brake often to avoid large potholes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11858654\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11858654\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-6.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-6.jpeg 1280w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-6-800x450.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-6-1020x574.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-6-160x90.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the numerous rockslides Melara has to navigate around on her journey.

With the bad weather and damaged roads, Melara’s trying to make this trip go quickly since driving can be dangerous after dark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2021/country-chapters/honduras#34b6ed\">2021 report from Human Rights Watch\u003c/a> found that “violent organized crime continues to disrupt Honduran society,” and has pushed many to attempt to leave the country.

She tells them the father’s name and explains why she is looking for him. They say the only people they know with that surname are in another town, about 40 minutes away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet she has no address or contact there. So, once she arrives at the next town, she tracks down local leaders, once again. They tell her to go check yet another town, two hours away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, the sun is getting low and the weather is bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to need to stay the night here,” she said. “The rain won’t stop, and the fog is thick. The road isn’t good right now, parts of it have washed away because of the hurricanes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s nothing left to do but sleep and hope for more luck in the morning..\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Day Two\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Melara wakes up early, checks out of the hotel and hits the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she gets to the new town — the third in two days — she, again, meets with local officials to explain her mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this time, she’s in luck: Someone knows the area the father is living in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have an address!” Melara said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the final road is steep and covered with mud. Eventually, Melara has to ditch her car and continue by foot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she gets to the top of the hill, there’s a cluster of small homes. A young boy runs up to greet her. He’s curious about why she’s there, and Melara explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, finally — after two days of searching — a man steps out of one of the homes.

The man said immigration officials told him they would take him to court and that he would likely be deported, but his son would be staying behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I asked him, ‘Please, deport me with my child.’ The officer said, ‘No, your child will stay here in this country and you’ll be deported,’ ” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officer told the man that his son would make it to his sister’s, where the two intended to stay, but that he would not be able to join him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His son was taken from him while he appeared in court. The father said he never got a chance to say goodbye. It was 20 days before he knew where his son was, and it wasn’t until he was deported back to Central America that he was able to make contact with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys said that when the boy’s mother found out he had been taken from his father, she was so desperate to get him back that she journeyed to the border and crossed into the U.S. herself, to be with her child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boy is now 7 years old and living with his mother and an aunt. The father said when they talk on the phone, his son often asks why he isn’t there with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He misses me a lot,” he said. “He talks to me, and he is always asking me when I’m going to get there, and he has told me that I’m a bad father because I abandoned him in the U.S.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And sometimes, the father thinks so, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11831289 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/child-separations4-1038x576.jpg']Despite the fact that the U.S. government is responsible for the conditions of their separation, and that he did everything he could to prevent it, the man still feels like it’s his fault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To be honest, I felt and I still feel sometimes like I failed as a father,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He tried to adjust to this new life, with the pain of loss in the backdrop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, a little more than a year ago, an attorney called.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was not expecting anything.

But the details are still being worked out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press briefing on March 1, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said that parents may be able to choose to reunite with their children either in their country of origin or in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If in fact, they seek to reunite here in the United States, we will explore lawful pathways for them to remain in the United States and to address the family needs,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But so far, federal officials have not laid out concrete policy changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until they act, it’s up to people like Melara to make these trips, looking for people who were separated from their children and then deported by the U.S. government. Melara focuses on cases close to home, in Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Day One\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It’s 5 a.m. Monday, and Melara and a colleague who usually accompanies her on these searches head out. Their destination is a mountain town near the border with Guatemala. The drive should take four hours, on a good day. But today, it’s rainy and cold, and the traffic is piling up with everyone heading to work. It’s slowing things down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is Melara’s second time making this trip in the past four months. Since 2019, she has performed more than three dozen searches, many of them successful. She said the harm done to people who sought asylum in the U.S. motivates her to do this work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11858652\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11858652\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-5.jpeg 720w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-5-160x284.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dora Melara stops to get gas during her trip. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Dora Melara)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“There were people who were humiliated, who had their rights violated,” Melara said. “They have the opportunity to know that they can have justice for everything they’ve lived through.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s also a parent herself. The work can be personal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every interview and story I hear from the parents is sad, and it moves me,” she said. “As parents, we want to protect [our children].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/family-separations-biden-trump-honduras/2021/01/31/f6b815cc-6198-11eb-9430-e7c77b5b0297_story.html\">separated more than 5,500 children from their parents\u003c/a>. And while a majority of families have been reunited, hundreds of parents are still unaccounted for. That’s in part because the administration did not keep track of where the parents went. And contact information for them is often outdated or incomplete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Melara begins these searches, she usually has very little information — a name, maybe a location. Often, she finds that families have moved, or the information was inaccurate, and searching through government documents and online can only take her so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has to rely on the kindness of strangers — family members of the parent, or their neighbors — to point her in the right direction. But getting this information requires building trust, in person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why she drives long distances for even the slimmest chance of finding parents, despite any challenges — and there have been many. She has performed searches during the coronavirus pandemic. Later, government-enforced curfews prevented her from traveling. It was only in August that she was able to restart the searches in person, but fears of contracting the coronavirus have made building trust more challenging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, in November, two deadly hurricanes — Eta and Iota — swept through Honduras, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/04/world/americas/guatemala-hurricanes-mudslide-migration.html\">leaving more than 150,000 people displaced and hundreds dead\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The damage from the hurricanes has touched Melara directly. Her home in San Pedro Sula was hit by heavy floods, and while it wasn’t destroyed, nearly everything inside of it was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The house can’t be entered right now — it’s filled with mud,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, she has stayed with relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just two hours into her drive, Melara has already counted four rockslides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are warnings on the road that the roads are damaged and that we must drive with caution,” she said. “There are homemade signs that people have put up themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They brake often to avoid large potholes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11858654\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11858654\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-6.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-6.jpeg 1280w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-6-800x450.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-6-1020x574.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Photo-6-160x90.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the numerous rockslides Melara has to navigate around on her journey.

With the bad weather and damaged roads, Melara’s trying to make this trip go quickly since driving can be dangerous after dark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2021/country-chapters/honduras#34b6ed\">2021 report from Human Rights Watch\u003c/a> found that “violent organized crime continues to disrupt Honduran society,” and has pushed many to attempt to leave the country. According to a \u003ca href=\"https://documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/G19/005/53/PDF/G1900553.pdf?OpenElement\">2018 report\u003c/a> from a United Nations special rapporteur, human rights defenders and lawyers are some of the most at-risk of that violence, with the vast majority “unable to work in a safe, supportive environment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mindful that night will fall soon, she meets with local community leaders. She tells them the father’s name and explains why she is looking for him. They say the only people they know with that surname are in another town, about 40 minutes away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet she has no address or contact there. So, once she arrives at the next town, she tracks down local leaders, once again. They tell her to go check yet another town, two hours away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, the sun is getting low and the weather is bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to need to stay the night here,” she said. “The rain won’t stop, and the fog is thick. The road isn’t good right now, parts of it have washed away because of the hurricanes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s nothing left to do but sleep and hope for more luck in the morning..\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Day Two\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Melara wakes up early, checks out of the hotel and hits the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she gets to the new town — the third in two days — she, again, meets with local officials to explain her mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this time, she’s in luck: Someone knows the area the father is living in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have an address!” Melara said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the final road is steep and covered with mud. Eventually, Melara has to ditch her car and continue by foot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she gets to the top of the hill, there’s a cluster of small homes. A young boy runs up to greet her. He’s curious about why she’s there, and Melara explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, finally — after two days of searching — a man steps out of one of the homes.

So, I didn’t want that to happen to us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he crossed over into the U.S., border agents took him and his son to the hielera, a cold room where people seeking asylum were often held. The man said immigration officials told him they would take him to court and that he would likely be deported, but his son would be staying behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I asked him, ‘Please, deport me with my child.’ The officer said, ‘No, your child will stay here in this country and you’ll be deported,’ ” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officer told the man that his son would make it to his sister’s, where the two intended to stay, but that he would not be able to join him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His son was taken from him while he appeared in court.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed Thursday afternoon that conditions in two California facilities were so hazardous they likely violated the Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last spring, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11813475/sf-public-defender-sues-for-release-of-ice-detainees-to-reduce-crowding\">the detainees sued\u003c/a> U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, saying the impossibility of social distancing and the lack of COVID-19 testing and measures like masks and disinfectant put them at risk of illness and death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria agreed, calling crowded conditions a “tinderbox” at the Yuba County Jail and the privately run Mesa Verde ICE Processing Facility in Bakersfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chhabria issued a series of injunctions \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11832472/people-are-terrified-sf-judge-orders-covid-19-testing-at-ice-facility\">to force ICE to improve\u003c/a> the conditions of confinement. And he reviewed scores of bail applications, eventually releasing more than 130 people from the two facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration and the private prison company GEO Group appealed, saying the judge lacked authority to remedy conditions or release detainees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an unpublished ruling Thursday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed, saying that Chhabria had acted properly and that the plaintiffs had shown they were likely to succeed in proving that detention conditions in April violated their right to due process under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Citing an earlier decision, the three judges – Marsha Berzon, Morgan Christen and Bridget Bade – wrote, “The Fifth Amendment requires the government to provide conditions of reasonable health and safety to people in its custody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately the Mesa Verde facility suffered an outbreak of COVID-19 in August, and the Yuba County Jail was hit by the virus in December. Almost 70 detained immigrants eventually contracted COVID-19 at the two facilities, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/coronavirus#detStat\">according to ICE\u003c/a>.

Atkins and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon today announced $600 one-time payments to households receiving the state’s earned income tax credit, along with an extra $600 for undocumented taxpayers earning less than $75,000 who were ineligible for previous federal stimulus payments and other assistance for low-income residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal is a compromise version of Newsom’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2021/01/newsom-wants-extra-600-stimulus-for-low-wage-californians/\">Golden State Stimulus\u003c/a> package and would help an estimated 5.7 million Californians.

But some advocates and lawmakers argued that the money would be better spent on filling gaps in federal relief, rather than trying to jumpstart the economy. Instead, they pushed for two alternatives that would send much larger cash payments payments to California’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/undocumented-immigrants-in-california/\">nearly one in 10 workers\u003c/a> who are undocumented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today’s $3.8 billion Golden State Stimulus deal took those concerns into account. California will now send $600 tax rebates out to 3.8 million workers who made less than $30,000 last year. On top of that, an estimated 575,000 undocumented workers who make up to $75,000 a year will get an extra $600, in some cases bringing their total aid to $1,200.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grants of $600 will also go out to 405,000 very low-income families with children enrolled in CalWorks, as well as 1.2 million elderly, blind and disabled recipients of Supplemental Security Income or the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdss.ca.gov/capi\">state’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Sending Out More Cash\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>California’s coffers have grown since Newsom’s January proposal, likely increasing lawmakers’ appetite to send out more cash. \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1357089574288117760?s=20\">The state now expects\u003c/a> $10.3 billion more in revenue than was projected in January, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2021/01/california-budget-depends-on-staggering-wealth-gap/\">driven by the pandemic gains of the state’s wealthiest residents\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sending thousands in relief to undocumented immigrants would be a political nonstarter in most other parts of the country.
