SEATTLE - Lately, California has been on the news a lot for being at the forefront of some of the most progressive bills related to undocumented immigrants in the state. From a proposal to facilitate their employment at public universities to another one that would offer them the chance to access phone discounts, Democrats have been pushing for more benefits for the demographic.
Republicans, on the other hand, have been everything in their power to reject or even delay many of these initiatives. Just a few days ago they pressured governor Newsom to veto a bill aimed at helping undocumented immigrants buy homes in California, while the same kind of pressure can be expected for a recently announced project aimed at providing them with unemployment benefits.
