California proposal would give phone subsidies to illegal migrants
Story by Timothy Nerozzi • 17h

Illegal immigrants in California may soon be given access to cell phone bill subsidies under a new proposal.

The state's Public Utilities Commission will vote on Sept. 26 whether California LifeLine, a subsidy program for low-income state residents, should extend eligibility to those without Social Security numbers.
 
"If an undocumented Californian falls on hard times, they should benefit from this program, just like every other Californian," agency commissioner Alice Reynolds said of the proposal, according to Politico.
 
The Commission committed to making such accommodations for illegal immigrants over a decade ago but never followed through.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
