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.
