California bill would prioritize illegal immigrants for disaster aid: lawmaker
A new California bill would prioritize illegal immigrants for taxpayer-funded disaster aid, warned California Assemblymember Carl DeMaio, R-San Diego.
AB 262, authored by Assemblymember Jessica Caloza, D-Los Angeles, would require California to "prioritize local agencies that are not eligible under [federal law] due to their inability to meet the minimum damages threshold” of $1 million to unlock federal disaster funds.
“You are carving out the authority for state funding to go to illegal immigrants,” said DeMaio. “The bill would allow the director of emergency services to prioritize funds for people who not here legally.”
Caloza responded by saying natural disasters impact all people who live in the area.
